    That was just begging for a card. When I first saw it, I was thinking, "Did Vidal just yell at Geiger and bump him with his chest?" On such an obvious caution, it seems like Geiger would have done something about that. I think good scolding would have been appropriate considering the way things are being called, but to just let it go? IIRC, Vidal angrily challenged Geiger a few time during the match. In one of my games, that player would be gone if he physically challenged me like that.

    I saw the same thing, but I imagine Geiger would have done something if he felt it intentional. I know Sterling put his hands on Webb earlier this year and got a good talking-to.
