It's hard to make calls like that given the speed of play, and I don't know if I would have given Pepe a yellow or red in the ref's place. What I would have done however, after watching Alves writhe in pain for so long, go off the field of play, and then pop right back up, is give him a yellow. In the same way a forward can fall with contact without it being a foul or dive, and therefore not deserve a card, I think a player who does get fouled but still goes through theatrics on the ground ought to get his own card.
i got utube blocked, is that the slow mo showing pepe not even touch alves? he went in hard and position to stomp, so that in itself deserves atleast a yellow and possibly a straight red, based on the potential injury for even going in that way. see that libertadores match where it was the same play but guy broke his leg. crying is b1atch like, but the entry was potentially dangerous.
Why is that facker not playing Iguain, Benzema, and Kaka? I mean come on.. That and playing like a ********** (I was one of the ones happy that we got him, oh well it didn't work.. Bring Wenger) ..

Cristiano matched hugo's record today. Madrid might not have won the league, but they will have the league's top scorer. 9 goals in 3 games is awesome.
I read the headline wrong. I'm hoping he doesnt break it. Not like mexicans have too many records out there.

Ahh, another clasico, and the bunch of rage it will produce. Hopefully los culeros don't dive so brutally today... Man, who am I kidding they dive even in friendly's!
