Materazzi just wanted to bring Bresciano down, and did so

an obvous yellow card. He wasn't last man cos there was another Italian player running with Bresciano

The American tackle is no where near the ball, studs up and full of intent to injure. If you look at the tackle in slow motion, he's quite happilly stamped on the ankle

That has no similarity with the Materazzi foul
