FIFA made a big mistake with the mandate to the refs to call EVERYTHING. It makes the game pathetic...

those were the worst calls all tournament

No, really - it wasn't intended to be a shot at Germany or Germans at all. Obviously, FIFA staffs the officials internationally. I would draw no conclusions based on that. It just happened that the most pressure-packed international competition in American sports happened to be 1972 Munchen. That's all. I've always enjoyed your company here.
