I fail to understand how anyone can continue to attack Ronaldo when there is a much more deserving target out on the pitch: The Referees.

I understand that the Referees have a tough job and I sure wouldn't want it, but I can count to two.

There should be a special contest for the most horrible referee in WC history. I nominate the ref who in 1982 disallowed a goal by France against Kuwait after a sheik came on the field.

Then there was the referee immortalized by Stoichkov of Bulgaria (sp?) after they lost in 1994: "God was on our side, but the referee was French!"

I would have liked to see the one episode with the sheik. LOL.

As for the refs, well it is a tough job.

But, don't award a penalty unless you are absolutely sure. The Ghana penalty was a disgrace, and PingPong should have been booked. And, for goodness sake, learn how to count into single digits :-)
