Soccer: Video tit-for-tat

Brazil coach Luiz Felipe Scolari has called on Fifa to use video evidence and wipe out a yellow card he thinks was wrongly awarded to striker Ronaldinho.

Scolari said Rivaldo had been fined last week for play-acting on the strength of video evidence and Fifa could now do justice by using it again to acquit Ronaldinho.

Ronaldinho was booked for diving in the first half of Saturday's 4-0 win over China, but Scolari said replays clearly showed that the Brazilian player had been fouled.

"If you can punish by television, then you can use television to take away a yellow card - although at the same time I don't think this is good for referees," he said.
