The Referee Had A Shocker!

How did the referee for the Brazil vs Ivory Coast game not book the Ivorians for some of their tackles, which included almost breaking Elano's leg, but he gives Kaka two yellow cards - one for Keita running into him and then holding his face?!?!?!?!

Keita should be banned for disgusting foul play and the ref banned for poor performance.

The ref did also miss two handle balls in one passage of play from Luis Fabiano when he scored his second.

Not a good game for him. He needs a shoe in!


It appears that some of the referees at the World Cup are world class and some are very poor. FIFA's rule of having referees from every competing nation seems to be a poor decision. For example - New Zealand doesn't have a professional league. So how can a NZ referee handle a game in the biggest competition on the planet with so much at stake? No idea!
