he should face a ban straight into next season! you could see from the replay, at least I can, that he made up his mind to do it a good 15 seconds before he did.

disappointed with Maicon's "high five" of Totti behaviour!

he should face a ban straight into next season!

He will. It was an atrocious foul and he's sure to get a multiple-game ban for it.

And it was an especially stupid foul to commit for a player who wants to go to the World Cup and with the national team coach observing from the stands.

[Mosiah]

do you really think it will have any bearing on his selection to the national team?

[Jangle]

do you think it was racially motivated?

[Mosiah]

yes.

no, i have no evidence, just a feeling i have.

Totti is famous for periodically losing his temper and committing horrible fouls:

Totti accused of racial abuse

Inter Milan forward Mario Balotelli has accused AS Roma captain Francesco Totti of racially abusing him.

Totti was sent off two minutes from time after kicking Balotelli in the calf during Inter’s 1-0 victory over AS Roma to win the Italian Cup on Wednesday.

Totti said he had made a mistake but stopped short of apologizing to Balotelli. He said in an article Friday in sports daily Corriere dello Sport that he was provoked and insulted by the 19-year-old throughout the match.

I really think he should consider playing outside of Italy. He is a very good player, and he will continue to get racial insults there, where it's more rampant than in other European countries. Due to his youthfullness, he will always be tempted to react inappropiately.

Saw a clip on ESPN where two other Roma players used their boot to 'nudge' the fallen player was on the head while he was on the ground

and the more he reacts...the worse it will get.

Come on people it is clear as daylight, that this has racism written all over it! It is also obvious to me that there was a clear message to Balotelli that they the Italians don't want him anywhere near the senior team to represent them at this World Cup. However, I'm not sorry for him because he is a youth that knows not himself...lose your roots and your branches and leaves will soon whither and die!

[Mosiah]

makes me burn inside! now I know who i shall definitely cheer against this world cup. never liked them, but it wussa now!

[Jangle]

me stop cheer fe dem from dem run the S Korean yute out a Italy after him kick dem out of the 2002 WC. Back in the 80's they were one of my favourite teams. I actually patterned my game after Scolachi and started wearing the number 19 on my jerseys.
