Maybe I'm just tired, but it looks like his head is shopped in.
edit: not just me apparently
ah well then I guess its just me disagreeing with what most consider a foul these days then.
regardless Italy didn't deserve to go through based on their performance this WC.
Just a bad call that changed the match IMO.

fuckin' LOL
This has brightened my afternoon (yes, it's almost 8 o' clock around here)
you're disagreeing with football rules. simple as that.
that wasn't a bad call. Balloteli's yellow was a bad call.

world cups come and go but that head butt was forever. it definitely added to the legend.
i havent heard anyone talking about any italian player from that year. except maybe the one that god handled, lol.
at the end of the day, winning a world cup isnt a big deal. being a badass mofo is though.
edit: i generally don't condone violence. but if the italian player was being a douche like everyone says, then im cool with it.
Yep. It's violent conduct and should be treated as such. Just like and elbow or a stamp etc etc.
I only pay attention to soccer once every four years, but that looks like a blatant fucking penalty to me.

omg he looks like bat boy
you can clearly see in the gif he attempts to turn his cleat to the side so he doesnt go spikes first.
That's a red but this isn't:
good one.
The fact that the ref missed that one still pisses me off and makes me hope the Netherlands goes out against Mexico. Fuck De Jong.
sure was
honestly knowing the ref I instantly thought that if he was there he would have kicked them both out on the bite
People actually argued that this wasn't a penalty.
I can't GAF, I'm done for tonight. See you all for more antics tomorrow, my bet is on someone running naked onto the pitch.You're right. The trajectory of his foot was altered preventing a shot in the box.
Its a stonewall penalty.
I don't think the defender meant it but that does not matter.
Both Suarez and Chiellini?
nope I disagree sorry.
just this BPL mentality that every thing is a foul.
Suarez biting someone and not getting ANYTHING is a bad call. as a matter of fact its something you should probably get arrested for.
People actually argued that this wasn't a penalty.
Watching the replay I thought it wasn't... because I was focusing my attention on Samaras tripping himself. Then I realized there was contact between the two players BEFORE that and so it became clear. Clear pen.

You guys need to realize there's slow-mo gifs from various angles after a play is done. People are reacting in real time here.
some are still arguing with me over saying Suarez could have just gotten a headbutt in, when the first angle was barely telling
because Chiellini was diving all over the place.

This is my problem with it. The force. His cleats were up and he needs to control that but not like he wound up and burried his cleats into the dudes flesh. I don't think he did it with malice at all and I think that has to be taken into account by the ref. I'd bet majority of refs would have not given a straight red for that. And in a game as big as this yes you do have to have some restraint as a ref, because that kind of precedent has been set forever. How many times do you see a foul that would have been called in a normal league game that isn't called in a big tournament game? It happens a lot. Most refs give some leeway and understand the stage.
I'm sorry but I wouldn't even call that a red if Suarez did it. I'm putting all bias aside I seriously cannot see a straight red there.
And maybe in the rule book that is a straight red, ok fine. The problem is how non-consistent of a call that is with referees. How can you have such a massive range of reffing personalities? Some who just let both sides beat the shit out of eachother without even showing one card for 90 mins, and others who are opposite. FIFA need to work with refs on that.
Balotelli was lot more reckless with his tackle and got a yellow.
yes. ref is trigger happy + confusion + the elbow (hitting or no hitting) + dive-ish movements
I honestly thought he'd just put them both out if it was a "that or nothing" situation
that can easily factor into a later red for a ref tho, for better or worse. and balo was out
I don't think the dude was trying to break anyone's leg, but it's no one's fault but his that he would be that careless when so close to a ref
He shall now become Unsullied.
don't misunderstand, im not saying Chiellini should have been put out, im saying that's what I thought the ref would do

lol what am i even reading
I get it. Us Americans would never call that a red card because we're MANLY unlike these pussy divers. FREEDOM.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHBe prepared for something much funnier :
Fire is not enough, bring in the nukes.
God Damn Salsa.
We are facing you this saturday D: I don't think I ever expected to see that in my lifetime, and its happening four blocks down my house.
I only hope the Maracanã doesn't treat you like it did 64 years ago
real talk I could go

First of all one of those events was ordained by GOD...the other other was the world's greatest player at the time, cheating to be beat England.
Or, it's GAF hive mind at its worst, and it permeates this thread.

Did I live under a rock for 24 years? I though this whole tranquilizer stuff are just wild rumors?

It's quite clear, because if any of those offences that occur for a free-kick happen inside the penalty area a penalty is awarded.
As incidental as the contact might be what was the CIV player even thinking by planting his leg there? He can clearly see Samaras in front of him and he is nowhere near challenging for the ball.
Clear cut penalty for mine even though it was Samaras making the contact and not the other way around. The CIV player should know better coming from behind.
Greeeeece!!!
Make sure to post their selfie after they lose their next match plz.
It was obvious enough from the footage but Maradona also confirmed it some years ago.

That's very different. It was not apparent during the game.
People became aware of that years later.
But Maradona's handball in ARGxENG would provoke some suicide bombings at FIFA HQ. lol
This rules are about offences inside the penalty area.
Too bad, I would have invited you a beer after your defeat.
I have no idea and do not care about futbol but it has been so far the best excuse to get drunk on an almost daily basis around here.
