And off we go

That's crazy, 3 red cards in a single game. They put up a stat too saying it's the first time in WC history there has been 3 red cards issued in the World Cup opener. This ref was a hardo lol

Didn?t see how the player from Mexico got a red card, two minutes into stoppage time, up 2-0 and 2 players is not the time to do anything remotely aggressive.

I was surprised it was a red card and even the commentators were. An obvious yellow, but red seemed excessive. My sister and I were watching the game, basically he tackled a South African player who had a lane close to the goal but it wasn't too excessive. This ref gave him a red though pretty quickly
