意大利隊的德羅西為肘擊美國前鋒麥克布賴德道歉面部一事向其道歉,麥克布賴德的受傷部位在賽後縫了三針。麥克布賴德説,“他在比賽結束後來告訴我他很抱歉，並且説他不是故意的。對我來説，這件事已經結束了。”意大利主教練裏皮表示德羅西犯了一個“嚴重的錯誤”。他説，“但這是我們要在內部解決的事情。我不想公開談論這件事。德羅西被禁賽，我們付出了代價。”國際足聯紀律委員會表示會在週一公佈對德羅西的處罰，他的禁賽有可能會多於一場。

　　原文：I'm sorry, De Rossi tells bloodied McBride

　　KAISERSLAUTERN (AFP) - Italy's Daniele de Rossi has apologised to US striker Brian McBride for the elbow to the face that saw him red-carded in their stormy World Cup Group E clash.

　　McBride was floored by the blatant head blow as both players jumped for a high ball in the 28th minute of the game and left the field with blood streaming down his face.

　　De Rossi was sent off and after touchline treatment McBride returned to the fray in a no-holds barred match that ended in a 1-1 draw and two more red cards.

　　"He came up to me after the match and told me he was sorry and that he had not meant to do it," said the Fulham striker said who required three stitches to his cut eye after the game. "For me that matter is now finished and done with."

　　Also sent off were McBride's American team-mates Eddie Pope and Pablo Mastroeni - only the fourth time in World Cup history that three players had been red-carded in the same game.

　　The other games were between South Africa and Denmark in 1998, Hungary v Brazil in 1954 and between Czechoslovakia and Brazil in 1938.

　　Italy coach Marcello Lippi said that De Rossi had made "a serious mistake."

　　"But that's something we'll deal with in-house. I don't want to discuss it in public. He will be suspended and we'll pay the price."

　　US coach Bruce Arena said De Rossi was guilty of "a vicious elbow that could have broken his face."

　　FIFA said its disciplinary committee would make a ruling on De Rossi by Monday. The committee could decide to suspend him for more than one match.

　　FIFA's head of communications Markus Siegler said elbowing as players jumped to head the ball was a "phenomenon that we are increasingly seeing" and reiterated that President Sepp Blatter had vowed to stamp out the practice.
