The game badly needed that decision anyway, 2nd half was dull & both sides settling for a draw it kicked it into life. |

Personally think its a penalty. He puts his hand on his arm/shoulder and pulls, makes no difference how hard he pulls or how theatrically Fred falls, the moment he puts his hand on Fred's arm/shoulder and pulls is the moment of the infringement.
Its the same as when a player pulls another players shirt, the player who is having his shirt pulled dives a bit dodgy and normally falls the wrong way and every shouts dive/cheat, but the moment the defender pulls the shirt is when the penalty should be given, the diving/falling of the attacker makes no difference. I know every football fan/watcher/follower will now come out and say 'its a contact sport' its a mans game' 'blah blah blah', but the bottom line is you cannot put your hands on an opponent and pull or push no matter how gentle, the defender who does that is attempting to bend the rules and con the ref as much as the attacker going down easily. |

My original post was from the 12th June, however posted more in hope than expectation. Always knew Brazil's foundations were built on shifting sands.. since the mid 90's (maybe even the 80's) a few talented players padded out with makeweights...but injected with the pre-requisite swagger. £#%&!ing delighted... however, they won't win it !! |
