What was your favorite moment of the World Cup 2014 so far?
the post is about top 10 moments of the WC so far. Pepe's red was one of the reasons why Portugal lost 4-0.
Never said it was a favorite moment.
Pepe's red card is considered a "favorite moment" because we will not see his dirty face again till Portugal team is out
Favorite moments would be moments like Robin Van Persie's header against Spain, Mexican goalkeeper Ochoa's performance vs Brazil, not a red card that was a result of false refereeing.
I don't understand why Pepe's red card is considered a "favorite moment".
