No, the ref got it right. Yellow card was the right decision!
I was surpried he even got booked. Fair challenge!
Many believe Holland midfielder Nigel de Jong should have been sent off for his "kung-fu kick" to the chest of Xabi Alonso during the World Cup final. What do you think. Should the Manchester City midfielder have seen red? Vote now!
It was an unfortunate event but it was not De Jong's intention.
The midfielder has been axed by coach Bert van Marwijk for the forthcoming Euro 2012 Group E qualifiers against Moldova and Sweden. Van Marwijk's decision comes after De Jong's tackle on Ben Arfa in City's 2-1 win at Eastlands on Sunday left the Newcastle player with a broken tibia and fibula in his left leg. In a statement of the Dutch FA's official website, van Marwijk said on Monday: "I just informed the squad and told them I saw no other possibility.In the near future I will discuss this matter with Nigel (de Jong) but right now we have to focus on the upcoming two matches." The player was not even booked for that foul.
