it doesn't matter if he goes for the ball, if he goes for it and takes the player down in a reckless way that can seriously injure the player, then its a red card (he could have easily injured the player), 90% of players getting red cards are going "for the ball" so that could never be an excuse to save a player from getting a red card. even blatter said the red cards were correctly given.

Yeah, and those shouldn't be straight reds either in my opinion. Look, I conceded that it's arguable; it was not intentional or malicious, but it was reckless. In my opinion (which is biased as is yours), he should of got a yellow and a STERN warning, like "the next time you miss you're getting a second card even if you barely graze the guy" kind of a warning.

The ref didn't just let that game get out of hand, he contributed to it. And I think all of us can wonder about the last 20 minutes. Do you think he dropped his whistle on the field, but was too embarassed to pick it up?
