[transfermarkt] Yesterday Sergio Ramos saw the 29th red card or 2nd yellow in his career in the Top-5-Leagues. That's 13 more than any other player since 2000. (www.transfermarkt.at)

Why does Ramos get praised for being reckless and letting his team down

    Not really praised, just like a funny thing to note about him and his playing style.

    He certainly is a very dirty player, but it's undeniable that even with the red cards, his presence on the field is tremendous. If you have a team that can fill in the occasional hole of a suspension by Ramos, like Real Madrid did, he shines through.

    Kinda like Romero right now, except Spurs don't have the depth to cover for his suspensions.

    Yea, Ramos' recklessness and aggression was part of the reason he was so good. The man went to war every single game for better or worse. His red card record is a byproduct of that. It's not a bug, it's intentional design lol.

    Lots of defenders did that without being anywhere near as dirty as Ramos. You don't see guys like Puyol on these lists.
