I would say the situation was somewhat between a red card and a yellow card. It would not be right to say the referee was wrong to give the red card, because the Portugal player tackled hard from behind without any chance to touch the ball. On the other hand, a yellow card plus a free kick would not be too far off either, IMO. It's just a difficult choice situation. BTW, if the game had played in Portugal, the red card would not be given. >>You combine it with their extraordinary physical shape, some incredible confidence they are showing, awesome team unity and loyalty (every time their scorer goes and jumps in his coach's arms, I think other teams' players don't even talk to their coach, let alone hug them!)<< Very good observation! It's the Korean team's traditional strong points.
