Yeah--the blogger for ESPN wrote that the red card given to Clark was BS--should have been a yellow for sure, but it wasn't anywhere near bad enough for a red.

3-1 Italy final. Pirlo controlled the pace of the match, and Rossi added the goal-scoring spark as a sub in the 2nd half. I really would have liked to have seen what the US could have done had they not been a man down for nearly 70 minutes out of the 93 played.
