Looking at ball and kick its clear it was done purposefully so players need to be playing with sportsman sprint not for war.
Blaming the referee is an easy way for professional footballers to wash their hands of the crimes of their colleagues. The referee for Brazil’s victory over Colombia, Spaniard Carlos Velasco Carballo, wasn’t particularly good, but he didn’t break Neymar’s back.
If the guilty man – Colombia’s Juan Zuniga - thinks that because his team-mates James Rodriguez was being fouled at other times in the game, he has licence to go in that hard with a reasonable chance he will cause injury (watch it again, it’s not a tactical foul, it’s not mistimed, it’s not a tap on the ankle it is a full force knee in the small of the Brazilian’s back), then he is wrong.
It wasn’t an Under 11s game – these are grown men. And one professional footballer decided to stick his knee into the back of another pro at full force for no real reason. In other words they think they can commit virtually any foul they like and they will also get away with it.
