what the hell was that! That ref needs to be fired. there were some bullshit calls there.
the number of times germany could have taken a dive for a free kick near serbia's goal. oh man. may have lost but at least they didnt play like little bitches
Exciting game!
Ref was a fucking idiot alltho lots of the tackles where yellow worthy.
I was hoping to see the german team perform under pressure and they didnt do that tooo well
a lot of the players where very pissed and lost their concentration it seemed.
Maybe that was only the referees fault tho.
All or nothing now. This game showed how bad australia actually was.
Yeah, that was a pretty lacklustre game. England even had a few decent chances to score but whenever they started looking like they were going to make a strong play, they gave it away like they didn't have a plan...
england were dire. no they were worse than that.They just looked scared
Seriously as a nation we should stick to darts or snooker 'cause world class footballers we are not.
rooney always gets the ball then falls over. john terry even has first name for a surname. that's just fucked up
john terry even has first name for a surname. that's just fucked up
sbsolutely. With Gareth Barry and David James on the same team, no wonder they were so shit. Doesn't take much for the manager to notice, does it? Tch.
then again,the French knew this which is precisely why they didn't play Thierry Henry, but they still lost anyway. That's cos they were french and too busy moping about going 'onghy onghy ongh'
They didnt let henry play because they know that his hand play against ireland lead the curse
onto them. FUCK YOU FRANCE! kicking out my team to do this? GRAAAARRRGGRRRRRRR
Spain, Germany and France all losing to outsiders ... I'll take a draw any day and count it as good fortune. But yes England looked a shambles and it was embarrassing to say the least, at least for the first hour of the game. But everyone loves to bash the English as a past time these days.
I know Monkeez..the ref was horrible.
Good game by Oz though, after the spanking by German and such terrible reffing this time it would have been easy to just give up.
It was a legit call because when a player is in that position he has to be aware of the fact that a ball might come soaring to him at any time. Him not having his arms hugged to his body was a red card waiting to happen, and it did.
Definately deserved a penalty, but it certainly wasn't deliberate or red card worthy.
And I don't know how much more Kewell could have hugged those arms in lol. :P
Maybe its because Im not really for gahna or australia, but when you prevent a goal with your arm it should definitely be a red card, deliberate or not.
It wouldnt have been fair to Ghana to get only a penalty, when they would have already gotten a point/goal if the guy wasnt standing in the goal in the first place! Having to stand in the goal as a player (as in not the keeper) is just lousy football imo.
Also, in other news... Holland is the first to go straight to the next round, thanks to us winning both matches... YEAHHH!!!! HOLLAND!!! :poly142:

Didn't Argentina qualify first? How is it fair to get punished for something you cannot avoid, definitely a penalty but the red card is harsh.
Wasn't much in the penalty call against New Zealand, you see players pulling each others shirts so often without a call, also the Italian player pretty much just fell over without any force put on him. I reckon that evens things up though with NZ getting that offside goal.
yea it kinda evens things out.
i just hate to see de rossi get away with this kind of shit. his dive in the paraguay match was absolutely hilarous... wish players would get some kind of punishment for such actions
I didn't see that match between Italy and Paraguay but just watching that vid now and that's just disgraceful. I think for something as blatant as that dive it should be reviewed after the match and fined + maybe even missing a match.
BRA vs IVC was awesome, everything u need to see in a soccer game: goals, illegal goals, red cards, fights and a knockout. the africans were so brutal at the end, it reminded me of the classic cameroon massacre vs argentina in 1990. hopefully BRA and ARG meet at the final!

Yup that send off was complete crap, I really think they need to start reviewing the games and making the people who blatantly act be stood down for a game or two.
What the hell is with this? The second goal from Brazil with the double handball from Fabiano, and the ref just smiles and acknowledges it. I for one think the reffing as a whole has been horrible this world cup.

German coach looked fucking furious.
Oh man, this Cup is full of surprises.

Not sure what the US goalie was doing there, the ball was flying towards him and he just watched it fly in.
Also, looks like flying is something you gotta learn if you are a Slovenian goalkeeper.
GO SLOVENIA!!!! GO!!!
boo
Slovenia's fault on the most part, they were so confident when they scored the second goal and then just started being sloppy and not really trying.
The only reasonable guy was the coach who was nonplussed.
But not enough luck unfortunately, the ref totally jobbed them out of a clean goal and a win.
Wheres the passion for their country!

Now, just to beat Serbia 3-0. :P
Referee isnt destroying it.
boo a red card for it hitting Kewell's upper arm/shoulder!
And I don't know how much more Kewell could have hugged those arms in lol. :P
penalty worthy = yes
red card = no

Also, the NZ goalie did an awesome job tonight.
