Jack, winning the ball or not, the height of the tackle was just too high imho, and we're from a much more physical game in England where higher tackles are less frowned upon.
guy formerly known as irectum It's just one of those things, in real time, I saw the actual movement of his foot in what looked to be a 'stamping' kind of motion, and I said 'red card' instantly. Alves is well known to go down rather easily but the fact is that tackle could've been on anyone and if someone like Messi got hit by it, they'd be calling for Pepes head imo (except los putos) so I think it was the correct call for sure because when your foot is up in the air like that I just don't think anybody can be in full control of themselves whereas on the ground there's more chances that you can.
