World Cup
As I was on the plane to LA from Japan when the World Cup match Japan vs. Colombia was held, I couldn’t watch the game. Arriving in LA, I checked the news on my cell phone and was surprised that Japan beat Colombia. Soon I checked the highlight to know that Colombia’s MF received a red card for a deliberate handball just 3 minutes after the kick-off. I felt it severe to receive a red card in addition to giving a penalty kick, so I looked the rules regarding a handball in a penalty box. It seemed that if a handball is deliberate stopping an obvious goal-scoring opportunity, it is correct to get a red card. I felt sorry for Colombia’s player, but was happy that Japan won at the World Cup.
