The amount of cards shown in the game isn't a determinant at all. OK, that match was kinda brutal, but it was still a worldie play-off tournament competition. All of those red cards were discussive.

I remember, all the cards seemed justified on the day but the Dutch red for Van Vommel would have been overturned by the modern VAR. In fact the modern tackling laws would have instilled better behaviour by the players. I remember on the day, the Russian referee was generally praised by most, he was consistent and the poor standard of behaviour was initiated by the players. He had to react to what he saw.

[@pr0use]

Its not about if hes hurt or not. Its about his opponent charging in wildy with his feed near head hight, while the ball is clearly going to go lower then where the feed are aiming for. At this skill level this is clearly a kamikaze charge. Hes hitting the ball where portugal gets the free kick. Also if you read the game. People where really steamed up. Also the elbow presented to figo is very doubtfull. A defender always after crossing the attacker makes himself big so they cannot come around. Its called shielding.
