| Michael Ballack has a bit of a temper tantrum and goes after the referee. For a famous pro football player who didn’t really do much in the match, he shows an awful lot of anger and energy when his shot hits Etoo’s armpit – he pleads for a penalty kick in the dying minutes of the match. Ballack gets in the face of the referee in a display I’m sure he won’t be proud of when he looks back at this. I thought Germans were calm and stoic in the face of adversity….
The Norwegian referee Tom Henning Ovrebo, a psychologist by trade, smartly ignores Ballack’s tirade. Chelsea had their chances in the soccer match against Barcelona. They were up a man due to a questionable red card. Poor losers I’d say. Barcelona instead kept playing and Iniesta finally took a shot and scored. The hilarious Ballack tirade set to Benny Hill, take a look. |
