Fuck The World Cup's referees
 

This is fucking horrible.

THe USA VS ITALY game.

the ref is playing a perfect game, and overal the referees are doing ok

3 players ejected from the game. Thats crazy.

Location: Amsterdamn

So WTF are you smoking?

but that's not the refs mistake

Beside that Nesta's hands, ref was ok. Strict, but correct.

you are probably american, so I forgive you your ignorance

this ref must think this is a POKEMON CARD MATCH!

Red Card, I choose you!

alex, you should try being a referee, their decisions often can have whole nations against them and they recieve death threats, for people to have the courage to take on the responsibility of being hated by a whole nation that takes some balls.

If you dont believe me search for Urs Meier

As far as this tournement goes they are doing very well.

You are the one ignorant. Just cause you are Eurofag means, means you know soccer better than anyone on the other 6 continents??

the title of this thread shows that you don't know shit about soccer.

Thats exactly what it means.
Thank you hova.

understand now. they are humans they make mistakes and when they do they get fucked. give them a break

Alex, seriously, why do you think this ref is bad?

All 3 red cards are correct, shit like this (especially the first 2 red cards) doesn't belong on a soccer field. Period.

no problem

You think the 2nd red card was correct?
He made contact 1/2 a second after the ball was released.

Dude... it was a tackle from behind, right on the ankle.. that's red.

That stuff happens in every game though. Just seems odd you'd call it randomly on that play. He was barely late and actually got ball first.

Not like this. And if it happens like this, it should be a red card. It's the rules.. tackle from behind = red. Most refs just don't dare to give a red card for it..

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

I think they should shove all the cards they gave up their ass. I just want to watch them play. Boo hoo, a little blood (okay, a lot...lol.... man my USA boy got popped).

First time watching soccer for me in about 4 years, used to watch a lot. Now, its like the NBA, bunch of faking and acting. It too hard to watch all that for me.

And by the way, I'm an Italian-American, so I win with a tie. :)

Yeah, it's why I really can't get into soccer much. Too many pussies taking dives and crying over being tripped. Just play the game and quit trying to take dives all match.

Now you got 2 points, dont't you?:winkwink:

seemes like a lot of us disagree.. think the ref made 2 critical mistakes.. pope should have been sent off already in the first half.. last man tackle and thats a red.. don't see the tackle from mastroeni as a red, thats a yellow or we would have had a lot of reds for every game..

The refs also fucked Italy on an offside call that shouldn't have been. They may have picked up a goal there.

That was some damn shit! Not just cuz I am from USA - but for real, that shit was crap. I'd say the same thing if it had been Iran & whoever...
Fuck that crap!

All cards where right i thought but he let alot of fouls go aswell. Italians always play dirty so you expect ti from them but i think the USA's where just down to them being noobs.

I think every player that goes down and starts showing signs of pain and grabbing at their leg should just be taken out of the game entirely and substituted. Not a red card. Not an ejection. So not a penalty against anybody - but call it a 'precaution' for the player's well being.

I think this would stop all the players who try to fake an injury to earn a foul or get the other team a card. No more falling down and making it look like they broke something for the televisions and refs then getting back up running at full speed in 20 seconds.
