Cavani sent off for delivering devastating knock out blow to Chile’s Jara
Yes, yes, yes, you can’t raise your hands to an opponents face and not expect to get your marching orders. But, the response here from Chile’s Gonzalo Jara after getting a little tickle from Cavani makes you question the reason you ever watch football in the first place. What a fucking embarrassment.
The shameful incident happened during Uruguay’s 1-0 loss to Chile during an expectedly feisty encounter in the Copa America. Cavani, who was already on a yellow delivered the knock out punch that sent Jara tumbling to the canvas in the 62nd minute.
What the referee missed though was Jara appearing to stick his finger up Canvani’s backside, which was probably what provoked the Uruguayan in the first place.

Southgates’s race divide rejection perilously close to “some of my friends are black” line
It still amazes that with all the modern day media training football figures receive, that they are still capable of routinely fucking up when it comes to race issues.
On Saturday, the Daily Mail (who else?) tweeted a provocative picture suggesting that the England Under 21 squad was as racially divided as the country itself. The irony of course being that the Daily Mail pretty much spends all it’s time dividing the country by race and/or religion.
Anyway, the divisive claim prompted England U21 coach Gareth Southgate in to making a statement and instead of briskly rejecting the picture, midway through, he evoked the names of old buddies John Solako and Chris Powell which is one step away from the much heralded “we can’t be racist as some of our friends are black” line, that only further makes you look like an ignorant dick.
I have a dream, and that dream is that I never again want to hear the “some of my friends are black” line, or anything closely resembling it be uttered again in defence of a race issue.
You can watch Southgate’s rejection of a race divide in the England Under 21 camp in the video above.
