International pick for Monday

[quantumleap]

International Confederations Cup
Brazil -0.5 1.71 over Egypt [1st half] (2 units)

I believe Brazil will come out strong in the 1st half and will have the talent to do so.

Nice hit! Amazing but Egypt tied it back up 3-3 approaching the last minutes here...

Yeah, Brazil was up 3-1 at half and Egypt tied it up until an Egyptian player gets a red card in the 89th minute and Kaka puts one in on the penalty kick.

hno:

Did anyone see why the Egyptian got a red card?

Ahmed Al Muhamadi blocked the shot on the line with his arm. It was pretty obvious the motion and he meant to do it. It would have went in anyway so it was probably the wise move.

The only problem is I am certain the ref did not see it himself and maybe got help from the linesman but i think he went by the reaction of the Brazilian players.

But the call was definitely right.

It was an obvious arm ball.

yeah the ref definitely missed the handball...but having the headset on(one of fifa's smartest moves ever)he was able to get the right call...brazil deserved the goal one way or the other...ps...seems like everyone and their mother are on the us over 2'!!!
