No, but its pretty self explanatory, wouldn't you think?

I mean straight after the Mexico and England mistakes, they send the refs responsible packing.

To me, thats FIFA implicitly acknowledging that theres a refereeing problem

It's called CYA.

for me the biggest dissapointment is in the tactics,it is in vogue to play defensive football at this world cup. Portugal have some wonderful attacking talent




abd hugo almeda,yet they have played a well drilled,compact negative approach to every game so far.
Brazil look methodical but you would have to worry what would happen if Robinho got injured,with kaka labouring i am beginning to think if you can keep robinho quiet brazil may be in trouble offensively and that is just disgusting.

too many teams are simply setting up not to lose,this is why this world cup is such a damp squib. add into the negative tactics that many players are simply not fit enough,Kaka is a shadow,rooney never got involved,not once,Messi looks tired at times,torres simply looks a yard off the pace,the list goes on.....

I can understand being disappointed by Messi because he isn't the same clinical Messi we see in Barcelona, but to put him with those players is stretching it a bit, don't you think? The players you mentioned were atrocious in this WC, Messi isn't at his best, but he is still better than most players in this WC. I'd actually say he has been Argentina's most impressive attacking player and has been behind most of Argentina's goals.

He doesn't influence games as much as he does at club level, and he's missed a lot of chances and hasn't been his usual clinical self, in that sense i do agree he's been a disappointment.

What part of "Players who disappointed my expectations" didn't you understand? :D

I expected him to shine. He does not.
Doesn't mean he's bad.

Yes that is understandable, but putting him alongside names like Chiellini, Rooney and Ribery is a bit too harsh. Those players were absolutely shambolic in this WC. I'm just saying it gives the wrong impression.

Well they're on a similar level as players imo so i wouldn't necessarily disagree with that. Though i feel Rooney has contributed more and has been more consistent at club level.

Has to be the refs. Other than that there's nothing that Im bothered to get disappointed for.

The cameramen are disappointing, they're not showing enough chicks during matches. I mean when Torres and Capdavilla were rolling on the ground pretending to be hurt, they should've shown some chicks from the crowd instead of showing the medical staff treating the actors with some magical water.

Oh yeah, one more thing, Spanish players diving.
