Official World Cup Game Discussion Thread

<p>^ most of the times he does dive</p>

<p>This game he didn’t. I mean, he was blatantly pushed. I mean outright. The ref was right there and was like, whatever.</p>

<p>Its like that child’s tale about the kid that always lied about seeing a wolfe.
If Cristiano Ronaldo didn’t dive and fake so much in the first place, people could believe him more easily when he doesn’t.</p>

<p>I’m not saying he did or didn’t in this particular game. Just saying the referee did have a reason to ignore him.
And this game’s ref was not the worse we’ve seen in this WC by faaaar…
Come on, what was that unscored obvious english goal, or that T</p>

<p>^That’s exactly what my mom responded when I was furious at the referee’s intentional oblivousness.</p>

<p>The referees in general are not competent.</p>

<p>

That’s more because England has a bunch of loony fans than anything else.</p>

<p>ehh… i think some of the refs have been either out of their minds or secretely rooting for one team or another. the offside goal they gave to argentina against mexico just made me sick… especially after they checked the replay and discussed it for a kajillion minutes. </p>

<p>demoralized the mexicans which def. affected their play =[</p>

<p>FIFA after that has decided not to show replays on the big screen anymore. Clear signs of their inability to limit major human error.</p>

<p>Well all this controversy drives up ratings tbh :p</p>

<p>unrelatedbut, has anyone seen the vuvuzela button on youtube/</p>

<p>^^^I literally just noticed it on Youtube about 2 days ago.</p>

<p>2 days with no games… no i don’t have excuses for not studying…</p>

<p>and i hate vuvuzelas. you can’t hear the people screaming and cheering and partying and singing (the coolest thing of being in a stadium), just that super super annoying sound…</p>

<p>I can’t hear the whistle blowing.</p>

<p>I’m loving these games! even with the crappy noise and blind refs/lack of replay.</p>

<p>I hope that Germany beats Argentina.</p>

<p>^Same here!</p>

<p>I am rooting for Brazil now.</p>

<p>Brazil! Germany! Anyone think Maradona just stands there acting like he manages, while he just tells his players to be natural?</p>

<p>Yea!!! Robinho!!!</p>

<p>I want to see Kaka score though.
Actually I would prefer to see 3:3 and then Brazil wins in penalty shootout.</p>

<p>^^Seems more like a spiritual leader than an actual coach, he wants to play, you can see it in him. LoL.</p>

<p>Lol true. He’s resisting the urge to rip out of his $4,000 suit and just run by six defenders.</p>

<p>LOL own goal.</p>
