All the points you just put forward are opinions not facts. Not saying i disagree with them, but they aren't facts.
Oh really? How is "they can't use instant replay" an opinion? As for the ball being shite, not a single player has come out and said it was good, whereas tens of them said it sucked and you can even see it bounce unnaturally on your tv screen. The refereeing is poor and this is evidenced by facts, because there are a lot of mistakes that have nothing to do with reading the game well. So that's pretty much fact too.

Forgive me for everything i said about you, you are now my favorite member. In your face IZ/Curr
:D

I just can't see why people wouldn't want him to score four. It would be amazing if France still qualified. The saga would go on and on and it might even help them in the end. It would give this WC the passion it so badly needs.

The refereeing is poor can never be a fact, no matter how much "evidence" you think you have. I agree the refereeing is poor, but thats our interpretation, its not a fact. I am sure you know the distinction.

Especially if Henry scores a super hattrick, football would be the most romantic game ever. If he scored the fourth goal with his hand, that would be absolutely orgasmic :touched:

Wait for the Argies to score a last minute winner. Then you'll see passion :D

No, it is fact, because there are mistakes that don't leave room for interpretation. Offside is offside. Statistically less of these errors happen in the CL (and we see this every four years by the way), so we can conclude that, when we're talking about the offside rule at least, the refereeing is in fact poor.

I'm going to play the devils advocate here, maybe the CL is better but that does not necessarily mean the refereeing in the WC is poor.

A fact is an irrefutable statement, saying the refereeing in the WC is poor is not a an irrefutable statement, its your interpretation, a very logical one maybe, one that is hard to argue against, but still not a fact.
