When Kaita was running at Kaka without looking what do you expect Kaka to do? vapourize?

cant believe i missed this game.

Of course he really deserved it. I wonder why the debate on this particular topic self. I must even confess that I'm disappointed in Kaka. I didn't expect such kind of a thing from a high profile player like him.

Disgusting act from another kaita

asswipe!!!!

same thing the Greek did when our own Kaita threw his leg at him

FIFA shd stop all these Hollywood actors from playing football

This is football not salsa for christs sake
why fly to the ground as if he was hit by thunder?

monsters!!

99 percent of you guys are blind. the guy had a genuine reason to hold his face. let me break it down
1, ivorian player is totally oblivious to the presence of kaka so he is running towards him with his body all loose
2, he makes an impact with kakas body and while his body is stopped by the impact, his head is still moving at the velocity at which he was coming initially so that his head makes like a slingshot and crashes into kakas head. now after this explanation go back and review the video and watch how his body is stopped by the impact while his head launches into kakas face. it was this impact that he held his head about. he totally was not faking it. and kaka was wrong for sticking his elbow out

if you dont change from ur ways

u will rot in hell fire cos all liars will be given bedrooms in Hell

what the hell?
Kaka made contact with his chest and the lieing asstard held his head ; ue hear saying his head crashed into Kakas head

what kinda TV did u watch urs from?
wtf

he 'watched' frm BBC radio commentary

Lets be sincere with ourselves, kaka deserved that card. Though the guy over-acted but Kaka's shoulder hit the guy's face(his chin to be precise) and his hand hit keita's chest . The guy was coming and didn't see kaka and instead of kaka to leave the way when he saw him coming, he used his elbow to block him. It

Am surprised nobody has commented on the brazil's second goal, it was a deliberate hand ball. Replay showed that the referee was aware. That referee seem to have taken bribe.

^^^im also surprised nobody has made comments on the tackle that nealy broke Elanos leg into 2

The boi needs to be imprisoned in Guantanamo bay for tryin to break someones leg

Keita Really Really deserved it. Oooops  its a shame that the black man was just running towards the white man without any wisdom. Shame ;on Keita, a[b]fter all, All Keitas are the same, Lol[/b]

Kaja is a clever dude, that poo was on purpose , but the CÏV player also did some acting,i mean some oOscarwinning acting there.LLAKED!!!

your right, but they were playing a football match, it is never in any way wrestling, boxing or elbowing competition. i think that reff should have issued a direct red, but he choose a yellow card.

@ Baba_O, YES u are correct the refree was fully aware that it was a fowl gama Fabiano played there, cos they later showed the Ref telling Fabiano that he was AWARE!!

African Nations Football = We Can't Play Football
African Nations Football = We Lost because of racism
African Nations Football = Decisions are always against us because we are black
African Nations Football = We will Shortly be going home from the world cup
African Nations Football = We are a Joke, just like our nations we are pathetic, badly managed and backward
African Nations Football = We look for any excuse for why we lose and are no good


You can make all the analysis you like, all the accusations, but it makes no difference. AFRICAN FOOTBALL IS  A BIG JOKE   

In another week there will be no more African teams in the World Cup, maybe then we can settle down and enjoy what is left without all this bullsh1t 

The only problem we are then left with are the Vuvuzelas

little JOHNY that ant a fowl. it was only a hard tackle. :Dl

the match got really terrible late on into the game!
kaka got wat he deserved, besides he didnt get a red card, he got two yellow cards for stupid off the ball incidents!!!!
offwhich in my opinion he should av been sent off for the first tackle!
he didnt even complain after the second yellow. . . he knew wut he did jor!
he saw keita coming and he just stood there with his elbow! common thats wicked. . . .

the ivorians had two dirty tackles with there studs on the ankles of the brazillians! they should av been sent of. . .
Fabiano scored a goal of the tournament, but he handled the ball, . . . it should av been cancelled

tell them bro.

The ref was a joke, first he refused to issue a red card to the Ivory coast player who went studs into elano's shin he then gives kaka a yellow card for an off the ball incident he didnt see and one that was surely not worthy of any card colour.

If as some allege on here it was a delibrate foul by kaka, why was he not given a straight red?

This is the first 3 page thread in which I have read every contribution. Nice work guys.
I am a Kaka fan and its hard to see he was wrong but from the video here it was apparent he had some intention to hurt (or maybe restrain) the IV chap. The IV player too deserve an oscar for his theaterics.
Nobody has mentioned Kaka religious beliefs in relations to his actions. He should have been better controlled as a Christian. Maybe momentary madness; Dunga had done enough heating up his players. Nevertheless Kaka remains my man and the man of that match!

He deserves it even though keita play acted. kaka elbowed him in the chest and thats equal to sanni kaita incident

I am a big Ivory Coast fan, but if the referee saw what happened, he might not have shown a second yellow to the lad. why?

It was an off the ball incidence, with Kaka backing Keita and Keita running to wards him and bumping into him. He only reacted to fend off what might have been an atack.

Anyways, I wish it was a penalty that Ivory Coast scored we are arguing about rather than a red card offence that doesnt affect the game and might hunt Ivory Coast. Why?

Brazil don't have a Kaka against Portugal and if Portugal beats Brazil, I don't see Ivory Coast qualifying!!!

If that is a yellow card offense, then Ivory Coast should have finished with 9 men with the tackles from Tiote and Keita himself.

Too bad for CIV, cos the player and team capable of doing them a favour in beating Portugal will certainly have a change of mind.

if that was a red card
then all the shovings, pullings and dragging whenever corner kicks are taken should be red cards

all a player need to do is fall like he caught 'magun' and then hold the head as if a bomb was placed on it and pronto the player who pulled will be sent off

what kinda player flies to the ground cos he was not allowed to bump into someone else

funny!

Yes he deserved it

Kaka didn't deserve the red card and personal i believe this red card should have been avoided by the ivorians, depending on the outcome of the match between Portugal and N. Korea, the Ivorians would now be hoping Brazil beats Portugal in their final group match to have a chance of qualifing for the knockout stages without their star man kaka and possible without elano who was injured, to me i think the ivorians just dug a hole for themselve.

I forgot to mention, If the ref wanted to follow the rules to the letter, that should have been a straight redf rather than a 2nd yellow card!!!

Some quetions for answers
1.where was keita rushing to when the game was on hold?
2. why must it be in kaka's direction that he chose to rush or run to afterall the field was large enough?
3.are we giving our answers objectively or are we clouded by sentiments?
4.does kaka have a history of being malicious?
5. In going towards kaka did keita have any ulterior motives?
6. if a person is about to bump onto you what will be your first initial reflex reaction?
If we can answer this questions truthfully then it's all good.
My verdict: not worthy of a yellow card.

Yes he deserves the red card.He shouldn't have punched the guy on his chest.He acted like an African man there.

True there was abit of play acting onthe part of the  ivorian hey if it were the brazilian he would have done same!

Really why debate it face it he is a big time pro who should know better and he already had a yellow, he should have acted sanely and not Keitastrophically[b][/b][img][/img] , ( Lol)

Personally, Kaka DID NOT deserve that 2nd yellow card!

I have paused, rewound and slowed down this incident on TV that I am now convinced in my thoughts, the card was not deserved and should not have been issued.

Keita was running without looking at where he was going, his trajectory took him towards Kaka and was going straight into Kaka. Kaka did the most natural thing which is to protect yourself instinctively, his arm came up to absolve the impact of Keita's body crashing into him. Note his arm made contact with Keita and not his elbow. To confirm this, at the point of impact, Kaka's arm still came back to strike him in the ribs. With a raised elbow, your arm wont hit your ribs as it is steeled and anchored at the shoulders. If you have a PVR please slow the incident down and you can confirm this.

Football is a contact sports and should be judged as such. Yes, I acknowledge that with the benefit of hindsight, I'd ask Kaka why he just didn't step away, but that does not imply that he committed an offense. If you watch football, you'd know that defenders are not expected to relinquish their positions simply because an attacker wants that space.

The card is NOT deserved, and now CIV have lost their ally as there is no way Brazil would do them any favours in their match against Portugal.
