[QUOTE="Cruz_del_Sur, post: 749248, member: 55747"] Can someone explain to me the Galarza deal. I watched the replay, at least the one Argentina is claiming to be the evidence of the episode, and i can't fathom that meriting a 9 week suspension (apparently his record helped, should have been 12). I know the rules state "[COLOR=#545454][FONT=Helvetica Neue][I]contact with the eye or eye area[/I]" [/FONT][/COLOR]but isn't intention taken into account at all? I don't believe for a second he wanted to do that. I've had similar things happen to me and my friends while playing and we took it as what it was, an accident. You are fighting for the ball, one guy moves his hands in one direction, the other moves his head in another one, both miss to anticipate each other's move and a hand/finger ends up close to the eye area. If this was genuinely an accident, would it still merit a suspension? [/QUOTE]
