Italy vs United States

Italy midfielder Daniele De Rossi was sent off in the 28th minute after elbowing US striker Brian McBride in a rash challenge that left the American with blood all over his face and requiring three stitches under his left eye. FIFA banned De Rossi for four matches (allowing him to return in the final) and fined him 10,000 CHF (£4,500).[2]
