That's the crap that ticks me off about soccer.....

[Bulldog from Birth]

A bunch of pansy players intentionally bumping into people, feigning like they've been laid out with a pair of brass knuckles, and getting one of the best players in the world suspended for the next game. That's absurd. That Ivory Coast player should be banned from soccer for such a bush league move.

Kaka's shoulder slammed right into the Ivory Coast player's jaw. He wasn't faking. But yes, the dives are one of the things that I think most Americans hate the most about soccer.</p>

Mario Austin was a professional flopper.

hit him in the chest. And the Ivory Coast player ran into Kaka to initiate the contact. The replays clearly show Kaka was just shoving off the IC player in the chest. Definitely didn't deserve a second yellow card.

I can at least halfway understand flopping on a charge. Sure that's pretty sissy too. But Kaka was not even remotely involve in any kind of situation with the ball. The Ivory Coast guy just targeted him, ran full steam ahead at him, and then took a dive acting like Kaka laid him out. I can't think of any reason the Ivory Coast guy went full steam ahead at Kaka other than to do exactly what he did. That guy was just a third world thug if you ask me.

I think the IC guy just wasn't looking where he was going. It did look like he might have run his jaw into kaka's shoulder. Might have hurt a little but not nearly to the extent that he acted. The problem is these guys are conditioned to fall and hold their face after any contact. It's embarassing. It seems like every game you can count on someone getting a blow to the chest and going down holding their head like they've been earholed by Roger Clemens.<div>

..then his shoulder smacked the IC player right in the jaw. Not saying it deserved the yellow card, but it was a very mild flop (if a flop at all) compared to a lot of other ****.
