It's annoying that it cuts to the replays and we can't see if he was sent off.

The OP is of course a lie.

This is the worst tackle ever, when Schumacher nearly killed Battiston in the 1982 World Cup Semi:



Although this is most excellent as well:

Back in those days, you could commit GBH and nary an eyebrow would be raised.

Eder's goal against the USSR is just staggering in its total brilliance. Oh, for even one moment like that in 2010...

And then there is the classic 1982 debate...

I remember that match as well - vividly. I was a late convert to The Beautiful Game, and that was one of the first games I sat down and watched end to end. FWIW, I think the first goal by Socrates was better.
