FIFA stated before the tourney, any shirt-tugging or fouls from behind will warrant a card. Dissent will be cracked down on. In the last U20 World Cup any touching of the ball after a foul by the offending team was an automatic yellow. This is the direction FIFA wants to go. Get it! The players need to adjust.
This being said, there have been some absolutely horrible calls, Materazzi didn't deserve that red and Figo should have earned one. And yes, as much as I hate Italy, it was a PK, stop crying Roos.
