You are always going to get a bit of injustice in the football. But the thing that needs stamping out is the shameful play-acting that's been going on.
So, I say name and shame them. First up in the match against Chile was Steve von Bergen of Switzerland, who was pushed in the upper chest and went down clutching his face. Chile's Gary Medel deserved a yellow for pushing him but could have got sent off - especially with the ridiculous card-happy Saudi referee.
Kaka's red card was ludicrous in Brazil's game against Ivory Coast, after shameful play-acting from Kader Keita, who was responsbile for the whole incident by barging into the Brazilian. I trust Fifa will take action.
On a lighter note, it's great to see a European team play some flowing football and stamp their authority on the competititon - Portugal's 7-0 demolition of North Korea was impressive.
