I disagree totally.
You don't commit fouls for the ref to warn you.
The reason why it was a yellow card and a penalty it was because it was a two handed foul. He [Nesta] used both his hands.
That is what the rules of the game say.

If you use one hand, that's pushing [different from the shoulder-to-shoulder body check].
The one-handed push or tag happens every time and that's why refs pause the game,warn players and order for a retake.In such cases,no card or penalty is issued.
A two-handed infringement is a bookable offence.A two-legged offence is a straight red.
If you have been watching the game for long, you will know.
The supersport panelists too agreed with yesterday's foul. In fact Terry Paine said if the rule was enforced consistently,we would be seeing less of it in the D area.
That's what the rule say, it is not always enforced but you can't blame a ref for enforcing a laid rule.
About the link, how about you work for that, google fifa rules.
