The nastiest I saw in a game was Brazil vs Holland WC semis (well in was like the semi-final)
The Brazilian captain (he was captain before this game ) Pereira tackle Neeskens on the top of the box and the ref blow for a foul , Pereira turn around and in full view the world put down a stamp on the man ankle , then start to walk off the pitch before the ref pull out the red card.
The match stats.
