Brazil's Hernanes is making the headlines this morning for his red card karate kick on Karim Benzema last night. Watch it for yourself.

Many people are invoking De Jong after seeing it, but I have to say that Hernanes' tackle had none of the malice of De Jong's at the World Cup. I had to watch Hernanes kung-fu kick about three times before I got a sense if it really hurt Benzema or not. I think it probably did.
