The World Cup is fixed.
« on: June 27, 2010, 02:35:01 PM »
 :noid

With so many game changing huge blown calls so far, and with FIFA refusing to use any kind of goal line or video review technology at all, it's really the most rational explanation I can come up with.

I really wanted to get into it and enjoy the WC, but so far the HORRIBLE officiating, with NO oversight to check it, has pretty much ruined my experience.  That blown offside goal call with MEX v ARG was the last straw for me.  :furious

I'm a WC newb but its seems as its pretty flawed. refs missing a lot of calls, bad goals, they need replay. And what's with everytime a player goes down, they are clutching the only part of there body with any protection? Lol, lot of actors out there. Officiating is t3h suk

That's what I hate most about this sport. Do they realize how wussy they look when they fake it like that? Do they not even care?

Yea they notice...and don't really care.They do it for the free kicks and to slow the game down a bit so the team can get a small break and regroup.

     Yeah, I'd say it's broken rather than fixed  :D   But I knew I couldn't stand FIFA refs before it started
so I really have nothing to cry about.

I was watching a baseball game today and the announcers were saying what good actors the WC players were.

The actors on the field are starting to get really old.  In OT Ghana vs USA, I was just sickened of how many times the Ghana players were going down faking injuries just to waste time.

Argentina vs Mexico was no different.  Players going down acting as if they were seriously injured and holding parts on their body such as their face when it didnt even get touched.

Just getting too old, maybe they should try out for a role in Hollywood.

These games are the center of attention for every country in the world, and if you can give your team an advantage at the expense of some masculinity, 9 out of 10 times they will roll on the ground howling for an hour if they could.

at least diving is a bookable offence these days. I'd like to see more retrospective punishments for diving where vid evidence is available and its clearcut. a month's salary fine for bringing the game into disrepute would be a start. was watching my nephew playing (age 6) and there were players diving in their game, I was stunned. they see ronaldo doing it on tv and think its ok ...

A RED card instead of a YELLOW card would put a quick end to any diving.

6 yr olds diving :( :( :( :( :(

Suit 'em up, add some weapons, like hockey sticks, and play full contact.
