Thought the 'headbutt' was a yellow myself. If Neymar reacted the way Henderson did, everyone here would be saying it was embarrassing and he should get on with it etc etc.
It ain't got nothing to do with the reaction, specially as the ball weren't in play. The intent was there, which means violent conduct, so red imo
Just to expand on my comment earlier regarding Sterling - I posted after 18 or so minutes and I stand by what I said, he was running at them and they were clearly petrified of his pace - he won 2 corners and a dangerous free kick in the first ten minutes playing on the left wing there. He seemed to drift inside more and more and fell away as the half went on and was running into a packed middle and his first touch got worse as the half went on.
I'd be telling him to get back out on the left again at the start of the next half and keep doing what he was doing in the first ten minutes because he was getting some joy out there in terms of dead ball situations, which is how we are ultimately going to score I think.

Tried,I really have, to be impartial about Sterling. A times journalist said he gets unfair criticism and is a big cog in the team. I really cannot see it. Him and Ali really don't look like they fancy this.

Brazil 0-0 Mexico...
Belgium 0-0 Japan...
People need to stop wetting themselves. This is how knockout football works. Not one team tears the other apart in the first half.
Refs mistake not watching the Replay.

Both calm on the ball too.
