Exactly!! Okay, the Xabi Alonso one was intentional but let's not forget.. He was playing in a World Cup Final! Tensions were running high there were many many fouls in that game so let's forgive him, he was only 24 when he played. The challenge on Ben Arfa, yes it was unneeded and early in the game. But he went in to win the ball not break Ben Arfa's leg, no player ever intends to do it. I'm sure De Jong's learnt from this now, I'm sure being dropped from the dutch squad has given him a reality check and we have to forgive him and let him prove he's learnt from his mistakes.
