That should have been a straight red. Kung Fu kick to the breastbone. Alas, that is now 5 yellows in 30 minutes.

ok after looking at the replay, how does De Jong NOT get a red card for that Daniel LaRussa crane kick to the chest of Alonso? Dutch should be down a man.

Webb has definitely seen the replay. De Jong better be careful. He'll get a second yellow for kicking a blade of grass on a Spaniard.

second half has started. Hopefully some soccer will be played this 45 minutes and not a continuation of West Side Story.
