The Midweek Mmm: Red Card Reactions From Algeria, Australia & Serbia

Sweaty, angry and seeing red. Three sizzling send-offs from this past week’s WC matches proved that red cards aren’t always as bad as they seem. (Well, actually they’re terrible for the players, but stay with us on this one.)
Due to Algeria’s Abdelkader Ghezzal blatant handball, we’re declaring red cards as very hot right now. Of course, this is a passing trend as Australia and Serbia need Tim Cahill and Aleksandar Lukovic calm and collected if they are to have any hopes of getting out of the early group stages.
Then again, their loss is our hump day gain so to hell with the rules. We like how good footballers look whilst being punished and would like more of it, please. In fact, we’ll gladly volunteer our best reprimanding services to FIFA if they are in need of assistance.


Ghezzel ( arabic for male deer ) awesome player of all time…shoud not have sent off ….very tragic for algerians
Abdelkader Ghezzal is one long, tall glass of water.
Ohh, Mr. Ghezzal is one tasty man!
Now report for your punishment, leave your kit at the door behind you!
Ghezzal has always been a bad boy but a gorgeous one at that. I remember him from Seria A playing with Siena.
Red cards suck *ss when they are undeserved and ruin a player's tournament.
I feel for Tim C as he shouldnt be send off in the first place, i read that Tim broke down in tears when Schweinsteigher (sp?) approached him and said that it wasnt a red card offence…now thats just sad
on a brighter note Ghezzal is gorgeous.
Yeah I noticed the same in Ivory Coast's game too Natnova. They don't leave much to the imagination. Anyway, red carded or not, Ghezzal is a hottie.
Is it just me or have anyone else notice how the shirts of the African teams are fitting compared to the other teams? Case in point Abdelkader Ghezzal's shirt. All i can say is WOW!!
Whoever making the African teams jerseys need to make for all the other teams…..
