I watched the incident again on tv last night in slow motion. The ref did what he thought was correct, however, the tv replays showed that Brad did nothing wrong to warrant a red card. Before anyone start arguing with me, I would suggest that he go back and watch the video. Torres overkicked the ball before he got inside of the 18 yard box. Brad, as the goalkeeper, came out to meet the ball in a straight line (that's his job). Torres turned on the speed with the defender closing in very fast at an angle to cut off his route around the goalkeeper. Whether or not Friedel got hold of the ball, if he did not take evasive actions, he could have been seriously injured by Torres. Neither Torres nor Brad could have prevented the clash. It was NOT a professional foul. The ref did not have the benefit of a slow motion camera as the tv audience did. Justifiable action - rescind the red card.

The answer to your questions - NO FOUL. The collision was an accident and the play should have continued, or it could have been stopped by the ref to determine if there was any injury to any of the players.Hey .. look at the bright side .... at least you're not a Liverpool fan! - Lazie 2/24/10 Paul Marin -19 is one thing, 20 is a whole other matter.

Why is it a foul after how I describe the incident? Brad came out of his goal in a straight line to block/save/collect the ball. Neither him nor Torres was in control of the ball 5 seconds prior to the collision. While in a stationary position on his knees, he twisted his body to the right to reduce the impending impact of the collision. How is that a foul?Hey .. look at the bright side .... at least you're not a Liverpool fan! - Lazie 2/24/10 Paul Marin -19 is one thing, 20 is a whole other matter.

What control means?
None of them had control of the ball at that point.
As I said the penalty was a hard one but a judgement call by the ref but the red card was very foolish.- Don't let negative things break you, instead let it be your strength, your reason for growth. Life is for living and I won't spend my life feeling cheated and downtrodden.
