On the other hand. . .
US National Team head coach Bruce Arena get suspended 3 games for flagrant abuse of a ref in World Cup soccer qualifying, and he was definitely way over the line on this one. Granted, looking at all replays, the ref botched the particular call he was protesting, which resulted in a game-winning pk at the end of a key match. He was still way out there and deserved the suspension. Nevertheless, FIFA allowed him to sit in the stadium and talk to the bench by cell phone during his "suspension." Guess everybody has their own interpretation of what suspension means. Then they shortened the suspension without ever saying why - it was well after the incident and any formal review of the incident. Kinda makes you wonder! (and makes you want to ref a major FIFA game)
