Drogba’s Red Card In Champions League Final
Filed under: Champions League, Didier Drogba, Red CardsI was thinking about Drogba’s Red Card during my flight from Dallas to LAX on Sunday and it got my thinking.
We see so many times during huge matches (Zidane anyone) players lose their cool in a split second. Hell, even I got a Red Card for retaliation during the 2000 Olympic Qualification Tournament in Hershey.
Why though? Is it because the players want it so badly? What do you think?
Did Drogba deserve to be sent off?
How could a referee not send him off? Could you imagine the retaliation if he remained on the field? Where & how could a line be drawn of what is an offense worth ejection vs. other available sanctions?
Send him off!
Second question, do you think Terry spit on Tevez? If so, don’t the soccer gods work in funny ways…
When I saw Terry and Tevez square up, my first instinct was that he did.. I hate to say that, but it sure looked like a well hid spat.
