That wasnt even a headbutt was it? Like headbutts hurt. That was more of a reputation card wasnt it. Both of them shudve got yellows.
Still the difference is Pepe went after HIM and got up in Mullers face, while Muller was sitting on the ground probably looking for a missing tooth.
If you were to draw a parallel then Muller needed to have swung his head at Pepe while Pepe tried to transfer dandruff or something to him. But that didnt happen.
I can see why he got red carded. But Muller probably earned atleast a yellow.
The fact that Neymar was not the only idiot on the pitch at that moment doesn't not make him less deserving of punishment. His headbutt action was arguably more violent than Pepe's AND he kicked a ball at a player.
In other news, 31yo Uruguayan international Maxi Pereira set to sign for Porto on a free transfer after playing in a Benfica shirt for 8 years. What a #&%$#&. I can sort of understand Judas' motives, but this #/"$? Next season is going to be intense.
If it turns out that the news is not true and he actually re-signs for Benfica I'll take the previous paragraph back.
Germany got the walkthrough in the group stage, but got the whammy draw in the knockouts, potentially Sweden, then France, then US just to get to the finals. That's all top 5 teams basically.
Well, the other side of the bracket got Brasil (Top7), Japan (reigning WC), Norway (2nd place last EURO, better than Sweden) and Canada (middle of the pack, but home turf advantage).
I think Germany will win against Sweden unless they get caught by some of the strange corner-tactics the Swedish girls are packing this tournament. Would love to see FRA-GER in Quarters, especially on that grass -- 2 of the best technical teams should be fun to watch.
The US girls should have an easy walk towards the semis, I can't see neither Colombia, China or Cameroon posing a challenge if they play 80% of what they are capable of. Perhaps Colombia, if they hit a great day again like they did vs France...

He might get in big trouble for it as referee assualt and miss the Gold Cup (Concacaf's tournament).
Haha go Timbers!
(Is that seriously where Seattle plays? Looks like a High School football field....)
UHHH Seattle plays here
Obviously sounders game arent even close to Seahawks games unless its a big occasion. It is also the best Stadium Ive been to in the US.
So a stadium with even poorer design than a high school field :p
And lol at potential legal problems. I hope that was joke
He is stressed out because his country is losing and he has to carry the hopes of the largest footballing nation on the planet with a mediocre team. If he was not stressed out there would be a problem.

Uhhh no one said he shouldnt see red and get a 2 game suspension. There is no doubt about that. Its just that its not really "violent conduct".

Perhaps keeping up with a discussion before commenting on it?
Yes it is. He is not being tried for anything. Maybe read it before you link it ? Its not his legal problems. Its like saying a coroner being called in for a murder trial has legal problems.

Lol Chelsea fans on forum pretty angry at Cech forcing his move to Arsenal. Think its a huge "fuck u" to Jose as he has left the decision to Roman and he said no problem.
Oh well i think Cech will only get worst now in his career his best is behind him. £14million for a 33 year old is fine by me
Yeah but there is one thing Mourinho hates and that is Wenger, he said many times he would not want to sell to a rival. We only sold Mata to yanited because the price was to hard to refuse, but he doesn't mind yanited. He hates Wenger with a passion xD

this is a poor way to justify the treatment of a world class legend
Yeah, London was the key for a Cech transfer. Didn't want to move his kids.
I'm absolutely delighted that we seem to be getting him. One of the best keepers in the world. I honestly rate him above Courtois, but it's close and I too would have kept the younger one if pressed. Remains to see how long he can keep playing, but it'll be our first time having a world-class keeper in fucking ages. Now let's buy a DM.
