Funny that the tackle on Lustig (around 5:00 on daily motion video) warrants the same punishment as robin Van Persie kicking the ball in the net, or taking your shirt off in celebration. Ridiculous
Indeed. VERY VERY stupid rule from Fifa. No idea why it's still being enforced. I mean I understand trying to prevent political/religious messages, but if you have no such message and you just take off your shirt to celebrate there should be no yellow card. It's just plain stupid.
No wonder players don't really give a rat's ass about it and continue to celebrate in the same way.... Hopefully one day FIFA will come to its senses (I doubt it will be soon though)
Wow, the Finnish GK is really, I mean really awful. No confidence at all, rubbish clearances, no wonder they've lost so high.... Of course, the defence is at fault as much as he is
Wooh Ibra back in the game.... Good thing for Sweden. Very bad Finland. Qualification against holland will be interesting, but they will have to bring their A game to make a chance
With respect to Sweden's 'superstars' Am I the only one who thinks Finland could have maintained this game with a bit of a discipline, organisational skills and bit of aggresiveness in terms of breaking plays up quickly and pass out wide, they do have good wingers with speed who can formulate attack with ease (especially LW), the midfield bedrock should be improved and I believe success will follow
