Bertuzzi is nothing more than a cheap shot artist and a coward for what he did.  He's not tough at all taking a shot at the back of a defenseless player.  Hockey does need tough players that play according to the rules and with honor, integrity, and dignity.  Todd Bertuzzi is not one of them and he barely was even punished.  He should have missed part of this season and he should be prosecuted.  He is not a role model and not a stand up guy.  That is not what hockey is all about.  Moore's weak for getting his neck broken and not being able to play???  That is an ignorant statement.  How can you say Moore is weak for being the recipient of a cheap shot to the back?  Who can play with a broken neck?

WHy do u hurt me so much by posting such pics so often?\n\nAnyways,Zizou was just analyzing whether the headbutty was too mild or did Materazzi deserve even more coz  even if he did more than a headbutt, he would still only get  a red card which wont affect him anyway as he is  retired.\nNow i feel better.

He shouldn't be fined for his remarks after that game. I saw the game and was highly P***ed after that call that he dropped the ball on that pick. The Summary of my view of the replay, prior to falling to the ground, 1. he took two steps before his knee fell and his left arm went under the ball to not only have possession but prevent it from hittin the ground so the replay can't say that he dropped it.He got screwed but it's okay. It's all over now.Pittsburgh, we'll see  you in Denver.

I would say George Bush, but he's been taken already so I'll come up with something more original...  Todd Bertuzzi on the hockey team, the Vancouver Canuks.  He blindsided Colorado Avalanche Steve Morre in the temple, broke his neck in a few places, gave him a concussion, head laserations as well as minor injuries.  The game was not actually going on at the time, it was inbetween plays, the puck was not even on the ice.  Morre didn't see him coming.  He could've died.  Now here's the kicker... Bertuzzi was only penalized by getting suspended for the remainder of the season, never went to jail, and is PLAYING HOCKEY AGAIN!!!  He played all last season, and he'll be back.  He definately deserves a good booger.  A nice, long, floppy, green one with dirt mixed in, maybe a little blood too, right in the face, stretching from his eye past his bent nose all the way to his mouth.

I understand coaches being very biased towards their own team, but he was infuriated on some clear cut calls.  I don't see the US as being horribly bad (although I don't like them), however I think he brings them down.

No. Sometimes there are exceptions to rules, and I believe this should be one of them. Even though nobody was hurt, Davis saw someone threaten his wife, so should he be fined a quarter million for helping his family? I don't think so. Stern needs to step up and keep Davis on the court. No matter what the rules say about players entering the stands, you cannot fine someone for protecting their family.

Not exactly as decribed above cause He wasnt alone who failed a kick there was baresi who failed first, then Taffarel saved one for Massaro. He played in 1998 but in 2002 he couldnt cause of certain injury.

As much as I like Griffrey he is an injury risk all the time so I would go against it for that reason because if Griffrey goes down then you are in trouble.  Although Soriano may be worth it alone.

In an article Jay Marriorti commented on an interaction with Guillen and a rookie pitcher.  After two of his players got hit he put a rookie in the game with orders to hit the batter.  The pitcher got the batter out but did not hit him.  He was pulled out of the game and Guillen was seen yelling at him in the dugout.  The pitcher started crying and was demonted to the minor leagues the next day.  When asked O. Guillen claimed due to a trade the picture was demonted the next day to the minors and that he was yelling at the whole team and not just the rookie pitcher.  The reporter Jay Mariotti stated that rookie pitchers shouldn't be used as "goons on demand" and critziced Guillens coaching style.  He later in an interview with 20 reporters reffered to Mariotti as a "peice of s**t and "a f*****g f*****t".  When confronted on that he claimed his english wasn't that good after being in the United States for a quater of a century.  Went on to claim that he would not be attending sensitivity training.  The Socks, Guillen and Mariotti have had a fued going for some time.  With the reporter getting threats and in this incident Guillen refuses to apologize to Mariotti but did apologize to the gay community.  This is not O. Guillen's first episode with poor word choices.  I'll post the link for you.

I think a hefty substantial fine is warranted but adequate as the incident happened after the game. He had a point but handled it the wrong way making things harder for the team and he is experienced enough to know that there would be repercussions. His play throughout the game was not under question so his play should not be penalised. FIFA should not be blindly supporting those referee's that have turned out sympathetic, biased or abysmal performances. FIFA must step up and take responsibility for their decisions as to whom they put in charge of a game. There are many things that can be learnt from this situation.\n\n10 minutes later: update on Australian news: Harry Kewell has been cleared by FIFA on all charges relating to the incident.

At the rate the officials are giving technicals, he could be eject 10-20 times.  Maybe even more!  Hopefully they change the no tolerance rule on technicals, because it's starting to get out of hand.  Especially for Rasheed, his career depends on it.

I agree with you. If I were Barry, I would want to kick someone where the sun don't shine every game. It still hasn't been proved that he used steroids and yet, he is booed, intentionally walked, and booed some more. He is such a great player and deserves much more than what he is getting. If I were Barry, I would definatly retire after this season. It sucks to be him right now. Poor man...But at least he passed Babe's record and I hope he passes Hank's record. I hate seeing him get walked.

That would actually be four strikes, since the ball 'struck' him.  nyuk nyuk\n\nOf course, anyone who swings at a pitch that hits him deserves to be out...

Lee, Mr. Figo is not a nice guy.\n\nI agree he should be punished for his action against Van Bommel. Maybe FIFA should also look into Mr. Scolari's verbal attack on Marco van Basten.\n\nHolland supports England to beat Portugal !!

If they were taunting them then yes, they should be penalized. It was very childish.

Peter Forsberg. I hate how he plays. He plays cheap because his team is always there to back him up. Also, I think it is very strange that he is hurt so badly that he cant play an entire season and all of the sudden, playoffs come, and he is in great shape and has a great playoff run. That is crap. I think they should make rules about playing a certain amount of regular season games. Also to all the people that hate Bertuzzi, i hope it is not because of the hit on Moore. That is crap and anyone that plays hockey knows that in that situation you do not turn your back and run, he knew he was getting hit. It was just a bad case that the guy got hurt. That happens all the time in hockey with people hitting from behind on accident, so should they get fined thousands of dollars too. I have had 2sprained necks and sprained my back twice, it is a part of hockey. So I hope that is not why you all hate Bertuzzi, but I dont watch him enough to be a fan.

ummmm the Australian was no where near him!!\nThe Italian could easily have gone around him, but saw the opportunity to dive for a penalty and unfortunately for the game of soccer and the World Cup he took that dive.\n\nIf you go back through all the Australians games you will see that they played fairly.  \nIf you go back and look at the replay you will see that it wasn't a penalty.\nLucas Neill should not regret his actions as there was no contact.\nI agree do not slide tackle if there is CONTACT but in this instance there was not that much contact to warrant a penalty.\nI can understand why Grosso did what he did but find it dissappointing that the winner of the game was decided on a questionable penalty. If Australia was going to lose I think it would have been much more acceptable if it was done fair and square.\nHopefully after this year FIFA will look more closely at the refereeing across the board and with ALL the games and in the future we will have better and less controversial outcomes.
