Ursa Majoris Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 http://sports.yahoo.com/sow how do u punish someone for sh!t talking...that happens in every sport and in every game. bad decision imho FIFA have always reserved the right to retroactively apply discipline for things missed by the referee, as have all national soccer associations. That includes provoking this kind of thing in the once-every-four-years showpiece. The Italian has got off lightly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ursa Majoris Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 As did Zidane. Yes indeed. Since he's retiring though, it's academic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
