re: The World Cup Starts Today. Mexico v South Africa MSB Edition

That's kinda ridiculous. The mexico player should have gotten a yellow for what he did, at the very least. You can't intentionally obstruct a player, and it's even worse when you are blocking him from a potential goal scoring opportunity.

And now those two are out next match (or is it two can't remember?)

South Africa may end up being the worst team at this WC

I really don’t think he tried to slap him in the face. The Mexican player screened him and bent down.

Yes I saw the replay. Maybe it wasn’t an intentional hit to the face. 50/50 call. Probably could withhold the red in that case.

But it did look like he was past him then added the shot to the face to me.

Now that was a red card. Great call.

My gosh both of these teams are train wrecks

3 red cards in this game

Mexico needs to watch out in the future, they didn't win this game as much as SA lost it. Not going to get easier than this. They could have won 4 or 5 nil and almost locked up knockout round spot.

Landon is such a retard. I hate him calling a game.

And then Sampaio makes an interesting decision on a third red card. I get why Clattenburg thinks it’s a red; I’m not so sure.

He had a goal scoring opportunity - a one on one with the keeper, had he not been fouled. This is without question a red card.
