The half time analysis of the sending off really made me mad tho - no mention at all by Keys and co of the blatant attempt at cheating by Nani - which was a disgraceful action and not I am afraid untypical of so many Portuguese players - Deco, Boa Morte, Ronaldo to a degree (especially when he first came to England) ...etc. And don't even get me started on Jose as a manager and the conduct of Porto V Celtic in the EUFA Cup final a few years ago.
Anyone remember the cheat fest mascherading as a world cup game - Portugal V Holland when the ref sent off 2 of each team and I think booked 16altogether for which he got no end of stick as probably there were far worse incidents than some of the sendings off but due to the attitude of both teams as a game it was almost impossible to officiate with diving and stuff going on behind the refs back all the time.
Disgraceful. And here Sky do not even highlight what Nani did. Shocking. He was off anyway for the butt, he should be further punished by the FA for his blatant attempt at cheating but will he be? - I won't hold my breath.

He didn't half take his time to get off the pitch either. Will he get the extra game ban Mascher did? Also, there's been no mention of the blatant handball by Brown at 1-1.
