I guess we see these things differently. I thought the "tackling" by the Ivory Coast was shocking. I saw some of the action replays on German TV and I reckon if I had been getting roughed up like that, I might have fallen over too. There is always going to be the odd borderline case of whether the ball has hit the chest or the shoulder and last night Fabiano got the run of the green. To me it looked like a moment of sublime skill, but I do like Brazilian football, I will admit. Could be I am watching through rose tinted spectacles. I shall try to watch a bit closer next time TopcatBanjo!
