Italian refs

How can this dude make a blatant mistake on every match and still officiate here? They should have sent him home together with his NT.

and that other loser Capello.

Agreed. They've been match changers, even 2002 doesn't come close to this shit.

True. There were three or four dubious games in 2002 but in this World Cup, there are lots of bad calls in most of games many of which, as you said, have been match changers.

 

[Alen]

and that other loser Capello.

Yes. It should have been Slovenia instead of England.

Come on Alen, all the referees that made mistakes should be treated same way...

But on the other hand that would leave only 3-5 referees left and available, all others would be at their homes.

Now we'll never know what Mexico could have been capable of, because before that phantom goal they were all over Argentina, they were causing them a lot of problems.

 

[Delle Alpi]

Since the linesman ruined the whole match up then I am hoping for a 3 red cards, 14 yellow cards, a sucker bunch from Hernandez on Hienze 2nd half

Wheres the fun in that?

What a bad refereeing , can't believe it..

Worst refereeing I have ever seen. This tournament takes the cake.

Oh man, and coming from UEFA's finest too.

And Tevez wasn't just offsides by one player, but by two.

 

[Alen]

Well, yeah.

This guy made a costly mistake when he gave a penalty to Ghana and a red card to Kewell. He should have been sent home.

Now all we need is that dude from Mali to be given the final.

 

[Oggy]

The only problem Germany have is their bench. Compared to Argentina's they fade in shyness.

I partly agree

 

[king Ale]

What's the criteria for the refs/linesmen to get into this tournament, the most prestigious one out there? This offside call tonight and the one in England game earlier were not CLOSE calls. If a linesman, eligible to officiate in the World Cup, can't distinguish them, who can? And if that's the level of refereeing why are they so stubborn against using technology?

Italiens, they always manage to ruin events.

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

I hope Mexico start fouling the Argentinians left, right and centre while the refs don't even card them! It's only fair they do that considering the unbelievable decision on the first goal. Agree with everything said so far. The ref ruined the game.

They can't use technology only in big tournaments, football is from amateur level up to the football we are watching. Technology in big tournaments mean technology in all football and this is not affordable.

 

[Alen]

Italiens, they always manage to ruin events.

If this ref is sent home after this match, then it will be a great tournament from the quarters and on.

And you know why

 

[JBF]

I demand a fight now, a big one :boxing:

 

[swag]

lol camera on heinze

I love Heinze's expression after he accidentally head-butted the camera during the goal celebration.

Rosario mistake a la Andres Escobar

Osario's was far worse than Andres'. Andres may have scored a direct goal with a deflection, but Osario showed zero awareness of his teammates while flubbing an ill-advised pass under any circumstance.

 

[Oggy]

If they change the decision looking at the replay, it'd be illegal.

And it would be great, it would be precedent in football and we may finally saw changes.

 

[Delle Alpi]

Oh man, and coming from UEFA's finest too.

And Tevez wasn't just offsides by one player, but by two.

Do you remember Gereg when you said WC>CL
because of better officiating?:wub:
I am just saying. Now give me back my CL. I had it with the WC

Why not letting the refs change their decisions if they see the replays in the stadium? Many sports are being officiated like that.
