This ref would do well in Capital 3

This ref has totally spoiled this game. It's not even fun to watch now. I'm going to turn it off if it keeps this up. Cutting my toenails would be more enjoyable. :([/QUOTE]

Until one flies up and hits you in the eye...

[QUOTE=StopOut]This ref is an absolute chump. Interesting that FIFA has been praising refs for letting the games flow and not nitpicking, then along comes this clown. His whistle-blasting, arm-waving reaction to Shweinsteiger's obviously accidental collision with the Serbian keeper was ridiculous.

In the refs defence (for this incident), the keeper made a meal of it hitting the deck like a screaming pile of sh*t. The ref gave a no-no to the keeper as well.

What they said ^^^ the ref has had a nightmare. He'll probably get relegated to the A-League after the WC.

I think this will knock the spirit out of Germany. Just need a red card to get them back in!

I'm really enjoying this game tho damm it seems at least twice as fastly paced as ours against Slov. I feel sorry for Podolski missing that kick esp as he seems to be a major workhorse for the team

I'm probably a little more pissed because I have a bet on Germany to win, but I'm really starting to get disappointed with this World Cup. I guess for some people it's exciting but for me it's just annoying and frustrating. If we get to the final with a bunch of lucky-but-average teams, it's going to be predictable and boring. :(

Gives the Socceroos some hope? A 7-0 victory over Ghana would see them rise to the top. Seriously though Ghana would fancy themselves to take this group.

Nine yellows and one red. For a clean game that is pathetic.

Permalink

almost 16 years ago · edited over 13 years ago

This German team is very, very strong. Even without Klose they will beat Ghana.

A Serbian win means Oz will almost certainly have to win both games - can't see that happening.

You're missing my point. If teams like Ghana and what have you get through and the only handful of top teams get through, the matches will be boring whitewashes.

Yawn, Brazil wins again.

The worst possible outcome for the tournament. It's like 2002 all over again.

BTW, I had to look up what "egg ball" was.

That's exactly what I want to avoid though: whitewash, high score games.

What? It's the complete opposite of predictable and boring. I'll reserve judgement till after the England game but so far the only two mug teams i have seen here are Algeria and Australia. The rest (including us surprisingly) have all shown the ability to at least compete with higher ranked opposition.

People can bitch and moan about the lack of goals, the vuvuzelas, the altitude or the ball but these shocks are making the tournament brilliant. If the goals do pick up somewhat then i can see it rivalling Euro 08 as the greatest football tournament held in the modern era.

Or more upsets! Brazil didn't exactly pummel the North Koreans...

I like the fact this is one of the harder World Cups to predict, both who the overall winners will be and the matches within each group. Even before the tournament started, there weren't any groups this time where the two teams to go through looked to be a foregone conclusion.
