Liverpool conspiracy theory

omgukilledkenny SG

As soon as it was clear that Argentina would beat Brazil in their Olympic football semi-final (when the Argies went 2-0 up), Brazilian midfielder Lucas seemed hell-bent on picking up a red card. Lucas fouled Liverpool team-mate Javier Mascherano from behind, and was indeed sent off.

The red card means Lucas is not eligible to play in the bronze-medal match. Or, if you look at it another way, Liverpool get him back earlier than expected.

All this has got the conspiracy theorists raving.

Did Rafa Benitez order either Lucas or Mascherano to pick up a late red card, depending on which team was losing?

i dunno abt you but i dun think so, having already lost them to their respective team for close to 2 weeks there is no vaild reason why another 5 days would mean to them and the fact that this is an international week would probably further reduced the chances of it happening the way you suggested...

Think too much.

wad if lucas accidentally injured Mascherano n he has to b sidelined for mths?

at least attack another player from another team would b more convincing.

no logic kind of conspiracy theory.

1.is the bronze medal match going wear down lucas so much that it gona make a difference to liverpool season?

2. lucas is not a automatic first team member anyway at liverpool. why rafa wana ruin its own reputation to do such stupid act?

anyway, lucas is not that stupid to do that. considering the backlash at brazil if they found out.

3. third as someone mention, who choose own teammates to get the red card.
