Can someone please tell me what happened to the three-minute breaks?

Not sure, however there's enough controversy that's causing breaks in play to not warrant the three minute breaks anyway.

The ref's a disgrace. Just like last night. Oh boy that's gonna be an awful WC...

They only take place officially when it's over 32 degrees

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

I thought I read somewhere that FIFA had done away with continental quotas for referees, but it really seems as if this isn't the case. Today's ref is Colombian, if anyone's interested.

Blatter has asked for 2 challenges during matches, I say don't stop there and lets go fully american, get rid of flags on a stick and have like the nfl with the linesman throwing a yellow flag on the pitch for extra drama.

Also mic up the ref and have him tell the stadium why he did his decision.

Its a much better system than our current one.

As if the first half wasn't bad enough, now we have to put up with "Cockney Wanker" Winston ads.

I suppose Cameroon have paid off the officials/ blatter is making sure Cameroon qualify too huh guys?:rolleyes:

Well in theory, if FIFA have tried to fix it so that Brazil win the cup, a draw in this game would be the ideal result.

Though it's looking more like it's going to be a world cup of amateur referring instead.

This officiating is absolutely fucking awful.

Bent as fuck so far.

Fuck FIFA, Fuck Blatter, the absolute crate of waste, and fucking well sort this utter disgrace out.
