the cal player should have been given a card for feigning an injury as well as throwing a punch! he clearly stays standing and then walks around before dropping to the ground with his "injury" he is such a pussy. man up and play futbol, your embarrassing yourself and your team

[Tvpolo9]

Wait so you're telling me the UCSB player got sent off.... Looks like the NCAA was like hey Cal we know you probably can't win on your own, but we ranked you pretty high and it will be embarrassing for us if you lose in your first playoff round, so we'll let you buy the game, deal? Deal... Big West conference robbed here, UCSB is better than Berkeley, Big West is a stronger conference for soccer, yet only one team was selected, and then cheated.

Luis Silva > Carasco

Toronto FC > Seattle Sounders

hey carrasco, tackling is allowed in college. this isnt ayso anymore son.

[Devine071]

What the fuck was that??? Servando gets pissed because the other player collided with him and he throws a dirty punch? Then he has the balls to go down and fake an injury??? Wow, what a little bitch. Alex Morgan, you can do better than that. Date someone who isn't a pussy.

[coldassassin99]

I had nothing against Servando until I saw this. I have no idea what Alex Morgan sees in this guy. He shoves the guy and fakes an injury. How pathetic!

[TheOscar401]

[rhonz7]

[mrboss758]

Carrasco is a joke

[trixer4]

I like how he just falls on the ground. If I were there I'd be like bitch, get the fuck up.

[carloshonda45]

Mexico has great midfielders, much better and younger than 23 year old Carrasco. He should play for the US national team if he ever reaches that level. At 23 he better start consolidating himself as a top payer very soon if he wants to become a symbol of American soccer

[jdfeltman08]

Why is america's soccer sweetheart alex morgan dating this fool??

[fcbarcelona4]

haha he fell over after like a little bitch. carrasco is a disgrace and a pussy

[TheOscar401]

@davlor86 and the fact that he wants to play for mexico

[davlor86]

i hate Servando Carrasco because he is dating my girl

[faustillo]

Silva is a PUSSY 

[djgiljr]

He's a bloody Sounder now!! Viva Carrasco!!!

[meeks82]

Silva only got sent off after the ref consulted with the other members of his crew. Open spike tackle will always be a red card. Perhaps the punch should have been a red card too. The funny thing is that now Tetteh from UCSB will be Carrasco's teammate for Seattle Sounders FC in the MLS. That should be interesting, since Tetteh was also red carded at the end of the match.

Carrasco deserved a red...studs up was towards the ball.

[Justchillin211]

cal is stupid

[koialternative]

Because the player who punched Silva in the neck had to go to the hospital before he scored a goal minutes later??????? Right, rewarding people who punch others in a game is completely fair. If this were the street Carrasco would have gone to jail.

[PhysicsProf]

Coach DJ: Shoves don't put players in the hospital (even soccer players...)

there's no closure on this, I've started to make my protest UCSB "10" jersey I have that stands for the 2010 season, have my College Cup tickets already, the match ought to be re-played, set a precedent not for always having perfect refereeing, but for DOING THE RIGHT THING, turn the ship around and get it right in the end. Cal does not deserve the advancement, neither did the American football Patriots a few years ago and thankfully the Giants put the cheaters in their rightful place. repentCAL

[CoachDeejae]

I was at the match and I saw this as a tackle that was two footed and cleats up. It was also clear that the UCSB player got the ball. In that I didn't agree with the red card for the Gaucho player, he did allow the ref to make a decision and based on the cleats up tackle the ref decided to go red. I thought it was harsh at the time and I think it was harsh after seeing the video. I saw the Cal player as shoving the UCSB player, not punching. Yellow card both ways and the game stays 11v11.
