The Football.....

Me too..

I was trying to overlook that

And what were the nobber pundits blabbering on about claiming that Mueller was in some way responsible for Pepe getting sent off? Responsible in the sense that he got pushed in the face and then had a headbutt directed at him? Utter twonks.

Mueller did make the most of it though,

He did indeed, a yellow would have been sufficient punishment IMO, although Pepe is a long term proven dunce. I thought Portugal were pretty good after HT, they were denied a penalty (+sending off) that might have seen them win the 2nd half. Germany did look impressive though.

I wouldn't say he reacted too much, he fell down and then got a bit shirty with Pepe - he certainly didn't roll about making a meal of it. If someone smacks you in the gob then the chances are you'll fall down.

Rubbish, he headbutted him. That's a red card.

You'll also be one of the cricket fans claiming that Sri Lanka cheated by running out an Englishman trying to cheat a few weeks ago.

My favourite clip from world cup history, after Geoff Hurst's goal (in 1966: just for Marmion, is that, in case he's forgotten) and Archie Gemmell's great little dribble, is this:

unbeatable for entertainment and unpredictability.

Whilst you're right and the laws are clear, that barely qualifies as a head butt. Zidane on Materrazzi was a head butt! If you're going to do something stupid on a football pitch the least you should do is give it some.

Bottom line is he tried to twat him with his head - off.

It's not Mueller's fault the bloke was sent off.

Don't disagree with this at all, but, it was classic footballer behavior...the slightest of touches and he reacts as if he's been struck by a bullet.

[QUOTE 3135267, member: 30090"]Yeah but Pepe is a bit of a wimp and along with Ramos has been about the biggest pair of cheats/divers/playacting/filthy play La Liga has seen in a long time.[/QUOTE]

Absolutely! I suspect that if Pepe started a proper fight he would swiftly have his face Picasso'd.

 

[Pro Tour Punditry]

Well, that's all sorted then, everyone agrees with me...let's move on

In every sport, the rules are used not observed - which is why pro-cyclists pay so many fines for holding onto cars, taking late bottle etc.
