Another ref I hope to see has no games in the future rounds, for the good of the tournament. Very poor.

Soccer is for fags - Something Ive been defending for years, but today that saying is completely justified. FIFA say this constant diving and simulation has to go, but they do nothing to get rid of it. Theyre rewarding it. "Oh an Italian player is crying, this must be genuine seeing as theyre the champions of the world and all..."
How do we get beyond this? Take dives and fake injuries ourselves and further bring the game into disrepute? Today Im almost embarrassed to be a footballer, especially knowing that NZ are watching this game and many of whom are new to the game.

On a side note, good on Mulligan for giving Cannavaro the fist at half time.

This. Fifa continues to fail fans of the beautiful game.

This on BBC:

BBC Radio 5 live's Robbie Savage  

"That's shocking. That's not a penalty, he's hardly touched him. That's a disgrace, it's embarrassing really. There's slight contact and De Rossi, being a professional, has gone down and made a meal of it. New Zealand shouldn't get too disheartened."

AW's have started playing that bloody ball back like England. Also no point in playing it to Bertos all the time he is being well contained and has no one to pass to.

Should be a corner, but the guy grabs his face - free kick. I hate complaining about officials, but this ref is making this unwatchable.

Exactly. The Italians have no self respect, especially considering where we are ranked compared to them.

No surprise Fallon is off for Wood.

Well they dived their way to victory past Oz in '06, so why not give it another go this time round
