Regarding what ITV just said about Franz Beckenbauer:

The problem with WC officiating is that is suffers from using officials from a lesser league culture, hence all the bought refs. Add that FIFA have their own agenda and instructions given the refs, and you have a farce.

Trapattoni's Italy comes to mind as someone FIFA wanted to punish, and South Korea as someone who bought their way to the semi finals.

calm down all of you

My acca has Mexico winning 2-0.

What the fuck do you have to do to get a yellow?

Oh yeah, elbow someone in the face.

 

[RButch]

I still rue the day we sold GDS, under AVB or Poch he would (IMO) be a deadly winger come striker.

 

[Marty]

Benni with the free kick, never saw him do that with us!

I have 1-1 FT with Gio last goalscorer so I say come on Cameroon!

 

[THFCSPURS19]

Good.

I thought the level of officiating in England was bad but this tournament at the moment has been a joke

Like Torres performing an eagle claw on vertonghen and scratching the skin and muscle off his face and not even getting a yellow or retrospective ban

Only then to get sent off for a rather tame arm across the neck which jan made a meal of.

I get that it's the world cup so you'd want a higher standard to the premier league but people are massively overreacting, as if it's prison rules football and the refs are allowing people to be shanked with shivs

 

[Marty]

1-0. Very deserved. Easy for Peralta.

I was waiting for another offside flag, tbh.

True but so far this tournament isn't going well be interesting if the other matches are surrounded in controversy especially after what happened the in the last match in the world cup between Netherlands and Spain

 

[panties]

Hope Mexico win...Cameroon have not even bothered trying to play football...useless, boring fuckheads. Mexico have been entertaining.

 

[kaz Hirai]

None of our left backs can cross for shit

You did see Neymar's 'challenge' on Modder's last night, right?

Meh, Dawson does that nearly every time he challenges for the ball in the league. It's all just applied and hyped because its the WC

 

[UncleBuck]

Just tuned in and I can't believe Marquez is still playing!

Mexico and GDS were denied 2 goals in the 1st half due to a brown paper envelope 'off-side'.
