Why the fuck isn't the world cup a world cup for referees as well? This guy is as competent as my fucking toenails.
The level of the referees in this tournament is a complete scandal. The only good ones have been the ones who are daily with the big leagues. Just look at how Howard Webb handled Slovakia - Italy. Brilliant. The key is that for these referees big games are just another day on the job, but for Hernan Fucktoado from the Dominican Republic it's not quite that.
FUCK.

The referees are not the ones to blame. The culprits are the FIFA representatives (or whoever else) who refuse to use the video during a football match. It's been decades that everybody but those stubborn want video.

Yes. Football needs a dubious goal panel, like they have in ice hockey.
Sepp Blatter is stubbornly refusing though, but honestly all you would have needed in this case is add a match assistant behind each goal. Maybe that's cost prohibitive to implement in all football, but you could fucking do it in a world cup when you know the referees just aren't up to snuff.
It's not the referee either per se, it's the linesman. He seems completely out of it. Isn't able to position himself fast enough, and lags behind the play in every attack.

This. Blame Blatter and Platini.

Rooney is starting to show some glimmers of what he's capable of now, finally. Let's hope he's the man to turn this one around. I would love nothing more than to send the germans home.

Shit.

Jesus Barry is slow.

And to quicken the pace Capello brings on... HESKEY!! I actually think the English have trumped the French. At least the French looked like they could play, England have been totally hopeless.

"Heskey on alongside Rooney?" notes Chris Bunce. "Well, Shrek and Donkey were always meant to be together."
Lol, so true.

Just another world cup for England. Congratulations Germany.

thanks

Nah, never. England had a team on the field. They had a bit misfortune and some Ref decisions against them, but a team trying to fight back. That's more then the French can claim.

Grats, Germany

lol Dragon. Couldn't agree more.
