Very good post Cuzza. The same thing happened to that guy who disallowed Sol Campbell's goal against Portugal in 2004. He recieved hundreds of death threats from English fans :(

I don't think the referees are that bad this year. Some of them have been brilliant.


Yeah the referee is Urs Meihers.

i was only angry at that nederlands vs portugal match. why? its not like the match is over and everything is over too. basically in next match portugal must get like... 1 yellow card to each player and... if they win they wont have any player to send in to court the match after :P that seems ridicilous ,but i just wanted to say that it ruins the whole tournament not just particular matches. and thats why im angry :)

Listen, yes, the referee's give out too many cards but not that much. FIFA want to STAMP OUT diving, cheating, "simulation" etc. and to do that they need to give cards. The tackles in this tournament so far have been unbelieveable and are easily worthy of a card. Just because we don't give them in the domestic leagues doesn't mean they can't be used here.

To be perfectly honest, when Graham Poll made that mistake I was on the floor. I swear, it was hillarious. But have you heard what people are doing? They're going to his house. Posting thing's through his lettbox etc. He had an interview with Sky Sports News today and he was nearly in tears because of what people have been saying about him over the last week and it's disgraceful. Leave the man alone. Is he not human like the rest of us? Who cares about the money and the fact that because of it, he shouldn't be making mistakes like that. It happened, get over it. Croatia were going out anyway. There was no advantage/disadvantage whatsoever. As a result, Poll has decided to quit International Refereeing. He'll still be doing it on club level. But guess what? If he hadn't have made that mistake, he would have been refereeing the World Cup Final no doubt. He is by far the best referee in the tournament but now, he's been sent home.
Poll also said that when his Grandchildren are on his knee at home he can say "I could have refereed the World Cup Final". Doesn't that make you feel bad? The amount of disappointment the media have cast over him and his family is just plain wrong in my opinion.

Oh, and by the way, yes, I agree that 16 yellows and 4 reds was harsh, but most of them WERE worthy of a card. There were high and late tackles flying EVERYWHERE in that game. Oh and what a surprise. Urs Mehir (The referee for England vs. Portugal in Euro 2004) has defended his Russion "counterpart". How ironic.

I had something else to say but I've completely forgotten so I'll get back to it later.

In conclusion, the point I'm trying to get across is that you've got to stop moaning at Graham. He made a mistake. Nothing bad came out of it. People didn't have a bitter taste left in their mouths afterwards like the Italy vs Australia game so let's just drop it hey?

Yeah horrible refs. 20 cards in one game, 3 yellow cards to one player, horrible calls.

But I hear those refs are out. FIFA doesn't like it either.

16 yellow cards and 4 reds the ref gave in that game.

The previous record for red cards in an entire world cup finals was 22, set in 1998. In this tournament so far there have been 25, and the quarter finals havent even started...

both teams had enough opportunities to place lots of goals even without those near-offsides.
i wonder how many goals brazil could have scored if they played with some spirit instead of sleeping through the whole match.

yeah south korea "Pwned" spain and italy in 2002 thanks to the referees so now italy gets back what happened to them in the 2002 WC...
but anyway there is no such thing as a perfect referee.

Shouldn't have been penalty against Australia. Mind you, it shouldn't have been an italian red card either.

Italy still deserve to win.
