I have never seen a headbutt to the face that didn't lead to bleeding or at least a real nice egg.
Finally, IMO Podolski instigated the whole incident when he got into Silva's face. When you stick your face into another man's face you are either asking to get headbutted or sucker punched at the very least.
I completely agree with the statement. I don't claim that it is a knock out, Zidane, type of head butt. I also agree that Podolski completely overacted the situation but it doesn't change that Silva used his head in a striking fashion towards his face aka headbutt.

I mean, my boys and I laughed at Podolski for his horrible acting when it happened -- we started talking about if that happened in Philly you would lose your friends because no one would want to hang out with such a ...... um ....... wuss.
Yes, but you have to understand, this is european football. This is the way its played. You go for a FK ANY time you can. No one thinks your a pussy for doing that stuff, especially during a game for a tourney that only comes around every 4 years and where you might not ever see again. Everyone here applies our NFL values on all other games. It just doesn't work.
