Sylv: I'll have to watch the replay again, but I believe the FIFA rule is a tackle is a clean tackle if the contact with the player comes after the contact with the ball, which I believe was the case. When you're watching a replay in slow motion, it's necessary to recall that the referee only gets to see it once, in real motion, at his angle, and subject to all the distractions of the world. And, just because a player is in the box with the ball doesn't mean he has a free pass, of course. As for the yellow card, you can take your pick: unsporting behavior, shows dissent or delay of game. Wrong time to give a card for the wrong offense, but we don't know how many times Moreno warned the Italians what was going to happen. The ESPN announcers weren't as bad as last time's World Cup, still I prefer to watch the game announced by Univision (in espanol) since the announcers rarely display a lot of technical knowledge (or even the necessary judgment when to simply sit quietly and let the game play out).
