Pedro Martínez: Wow, even the Italian commentator on the US broadcast said that he thought the second red card was a bad call..... But I dont follow the world cup enought o know myself, maybe they are trying to crack down on sliding tackles? The guy had no yellow card and did a slide where he got the ball and no real injury, a yellow at best in my book.

According to you, a guy who takes an intentional elbow to the head and requires stitches is treated the same as someone who is tackled witjout injury and even gets part of the ball.
