Kevin-Prince Boateng, the German midfielder who was loaned to Borussia Dortmund by Tottenham in the January transfer window, has caused a big fuss in the Bundesliga this week.
Trailing 3-0 to league leaders Wolfsburg on Tuesday, Boateng put in a nasty studs-to-the-face challenge. He was immediately sent off for the challenge, and actually had the audacity to question the referee’s decision.
Opponent/ victim Makoto Hasebe needed seven stitches in his face after the incident, and Bild are now referring to the high-kicking midfielder as ‘RAMBOateng’. Hilarious stuff.
Boateng is unlikely to play for Dortmund again, but incredibly, he will escape punishment for having the middle name ‘Prince’.

Big Phil Scolari blew a gasket during yesterday’s Liverpool/ Chelsea clash, as he felt Frank Lampard’s 60th minute red card was a poor decision. Jose Bosingwa was also incensed, but he found a unique way of bringing justice to the situation.
For assaulting Jossi Benayoun with a studs-up challenge to the back, the Chelsea man was awarded with a free kick.
Spoiler bonus: See the ridiculous Lampard dismissal after the jump…
Tricky winger lucky not to be dismissed for kicking incident
After returning from the pointless marketing exercise greatest game of their lives in Japan, Manchester Utd scraped a 1-0 win at Stole today thanks to a late Carlos Tevez strike.
C-Ron was hacked all over the place throughout the game, and Stoke’s Andy Wilkinson received a second yellow for a pretty careless challenge on the Portuguese man-o’-sex. Ronaldo, however, reacted to the tackle with a move from the Wayne Rooney book of revenge, and was lucky the ref was paying no attention whatsoever.
We’re seeing this kind of petulant behaviour from the Ballon D’or winner more and more of late - it can only be a matter of time until he gets himself in trouble.
