Just arond my corner (east europe) is worse not talking about asia or any other countries where football is just something to pass time between the charity food.
Anyway, the whole referies are terrible is nonsense imo, they are and always were of similar standard, just that the media the tv replay and everything around including the owners crying for every lost dollar is getting too much attention.
I mean, even the slightest mistake by a ref is now a big contraversy in some bigger matches and up for talking for days, and it paints an unreal picture about the real situation.
