Another World Cup Winner Can't Take The Pressure

And this is the one who actually says a lot, talks up the show and acts larger than life.

Luiz Felipe Scolari attacked Serbian defender Dragutinovic near the end of their Euro 2008 qualifier earlier in the week. He said that the player had insulted his family, thus he saw it fit to mete out his own brand of punishment.

Scolari apologised to practically the whole world, but then justified his actions ala Zinedine Zidane. He who insults my family, deserves to be physically assaulted.

While verbally abusing and causing hurt to someone and his family should never be condone, but retaliatory abuse should also be stamped out. All too often such offenders have been let off the hook, with only fines and match bans. Cantona, Zidane and now Scolari.

I say deal out a heavier punishment. Perhaps serving some time or community service. (Well ok, Cantona did some community service I think)

Would you just fine a murderer when he killed because he was angered by someone insulting his family?
