I am so ******* pissed off!
This dumbass referee is ruining everything.
To: IslandJeff
Why do you refer to Munich? You do know that the refs are from various countries, and this special one is from Uruguay. But hey, he did no wrong.

This was to be expected when the ref is the Iranian president.

"This is either payback from FIFA for the Italians getting screwed in 2002, or the Italians bought this ref like they buy their own."
Either is very possible.

Unintentional reference - the controversial outcomes in various events happened to be at the Munich games. Nothing against Deutschland. My apologies.

The US will finish with 5 players.
7 players minimum, otherwise the ref has to end the game.

Actually, the stupid US players are ruining our plans for the next round. They had one more on the field than the Azurros, and now they´ve one down. Rules must be obeyed.
Let´s put the fouls aside, the US team has been fighting really hard, they had a real chance - and had actually deserved to lead.

A lot easier to be offsides when one team is down 2.

No need for apologies. I was just curious. You´re entitled to your own conclusions. :-)

Rigatoni offsides again...
To: Jameison
My stomach is turned upside down.
In anger.
10 on 10 was hard enough. This is a damn nightmare.
Not one UK ref in this tournament. Screw you FIFA.

Actually it was one red and one yellow-red. A yellow-red card is actually a yellow card, but becomes a red when it's the players second yellow card in a row.

Ref is out of control.
USA could still pull this off in spite of 2 red cards.
Go USA, would be a nice in-your-face if they win.
