I totally agree with that Argentina call. An obvious late tackle from the front. Hell, even a well timed tackle from the front where the cleats are off the ground usually gets a red. That ref did seem interested in letting the players play unlike the USA/Italian game where it seems the ref should have been suspended the second time for inconsistencies.

The Lucic was a bit early to give him the 2nd yellow but there was a great acting job around it and from the refs view it looked pretty rough. I can understand why it got him another card although I would understand not giving him the card as well.
