On a day when we've questioned everything and discussed some of the stranger red card offenses in the history of the game, this should come as no surprise.

We gave the world Justin Bieber, sure, but you’ve responded in turn with your new president — I wouldn’t say that we’re even. Just admit that you made a massive mistake in leaving the monarchy, and we’ll leave it at that.
Antonio Ferreira received a straight red card for ‘shielding’ the ball from a defender, relying a little too heavily on his elbow to maintain possession. That was only the beginning of the violence from Ferreira, with the Mirassol Futebol Clube defender going absolutely mental after receiving his marching orders.
It’s supposed to be pretty straightforward — the ball goes out of play, your job is to return it to play as soon as possible. Your reward? A front-row ticket to watch your heroes up close and personal. You might even be credited with an assist for your actions.
