I would like Germany to win and so that this World Cup can't be used as an opiate to the Brazilian masses and perhaps the proletariat will rise up and crush FIFA.

He also gave Marchisio that absurd red, so I expect someone to get sent off here. Hopefully he takes it easy on unnecessary cards.

Brazil will be compromised with no Neymar and Silva, but this generation of Germans have been bottlers until now so it should be a good match anyway.

Only 4 more matches until the best World Cup is over.

On the flipside, it'll end with Germany winning it and thus football coming home.

TBF there is no way he would have been able to see that. AR would have had the best look at it.

Absurd is a bit of a stretch. You can say soft, maybe, but studs into leg near knee when ball is nowhere near it? That's orange for sure. But yeah with as many fouls as Brazil have committed this tournament a red today wouldn't surprise me.

Marchisio's tackle was closer to a stamp and looked intentional.

its time for some advanced referee statistics talk

Statistics for Referee Marcos Rodriguez:

81 international matches; 52 red cards (.64 / match) (highest of the 32 refs participating in this WC); 356 yellows (4.4 /match); 30 penalties (.37 /match) (third highest of any ref in this WC).

Comparisons with the average tournament statistics :

Red Cards:
Rodriguez issues red cards @ .64/ match ( 2 every 3 games) , whereas the average stat in this WC is .23 red cards/match ( not even 1 in every 4 match)

Yellow Cards :
Rodriguez flashes 4.4/match compared to the tournament average of 2.8/match .

Penalties :
Rodriguez awards .37 penalties/match compared to the tournament average of .22 penalties /match .

Consequences :
If Rodriguez follows his career statistics there is a 68% greater chance of a penalty being awarded , and a staggering 178% chance of a red card being issued as compared to tournament average.

All stats have been taken from Fifa.

How close was the ref to the bite? I don't remember it being that obvious and the ball and much of the action was outside the box.

I don't agree with all of the analysis with respect to the positioning, but here is a good picture by picture look of the play developing

lmfao at anyone who thinks that's not a red.

Even assuming the best of intentions on Marchisio's part, that's the risk you take when you try and shield the ball like that. If you have to lift your leg up like that to get in position, cut your losses and track back.

The AR should have seen it.

Edit: Marchisios foul looks really terrible in hindsight, the referee had a direct angle on it and acted accordingly.

To be fair, without instant replay your first reaction would be "Did I just see Suarez quickly bite someone or just expect it?"

There might be riots on the streets but the people going to the stadium are mostly upper middle class / rich Brazilians so don't expect anything like that there.
