Erroll 80 #77 June 18, 2010 I'm no expert but I think the Americans 'wuz robbed'. Alas, the score card has no comments column, eh? Still wide open group. Let's see what the Poms can do. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why didn't they review it, I've seen them look at video during other matches in the last few days. Really outrageous, one of the Americans was bear hugged from behind during the incident, and then the goal is disallowed? In Hockey they video review every goal (there's lots of time to do it after a goal). Of course I know why they don't review it, it would hurt the ego of the refs.People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

FreeflyChile 0 #79 June 18, 2010 I thought in hockey the review is to see whether the puck is in or not, or do they also review whether someone committed a penalty on the play that wasn't called/rescind a called penalty that shouldn't have been called?

They make sure it was in the net (past the line), and also that it didn't get kicked in (not allowed if intentional), and also review it to be sure who gets the credit, and can check to be sure if there was a goalie interference violation, etc. I really do remember the officials watching some video to confirm a call a few days ago.

Erroll 80 #82 June 19, 2010 QuoteI really do remember the officials watching some video to confirm a call a few days ago. Perhaps I'm wrong. As Remster said, there is no official video review in soccer. Any replays, slo-mos etc are for the benefit of the viewers and commentators. Pity, really. Most other major sporting codes use technology as far as is possible, especially with the vast amounts of money at stake these days. Anyways, a draw for England and Algeria too. The last games in this group are going to be fascinating. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
masterblaster72 0 #83 June 19, 2010 Cameroon 1 Denmark 1 Easily the best half I've seen in this cup yet, lots of occasions on goal for both teams. Eto'o is playing his heart out and I hope he puts more away in the second half. Be humble, ask questions, listen, learn, follow the golden rule, talk when necessary, and know when to shut the fuck up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Remster 30 #86 June 20, 2010 Leblanc will have quite the uphill battle in front of him! Still, as much of a fan of Les Bleus that I am, this is pathetic.. And I dont know which part if more pathetic... The coaching, the coaching, the team's attitude, their game on the pitch... Oh well... It's only 4 years till the next one, right! And yeah, Italy is looking pretty flaky too...Remster Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FreeflyChile 0 #90 June 21, 2010 Holy crap I was nervous during the last part of today's game - the Swiss missed a golden opportunity to tie it, if only we hadn't missed so many chances to put the game away.. We have to finish better or else we'll get killed by Spain. That said, go Honduras for the remaining 2 games! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Remster 30 #91 June 21, 2010 Holly card-age, batman! How many cards were given in that game? I didn't watch it, just saw the summary.. Was it that rough?Remster Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FreeflyChile 0 #92 June 21, 2010 No, the ref was an idiot...and let me tell you I was shouting obscenities that I am glad are not in print. Now, people who know the game can come from any part of the globe - but between the ref whose country of origin I can't remember for the US game and then this guy (Saudi, I think), why bring in refs that clearly do not have experience with games of this magnitude?? Outside of Europe and South America, where else in the world are there leagues that are so passionately followed that the refs have to really be on top of their game? While the red card against the Swiss helped Chile, I still think it was utter bullshit... the ref was in over his head and was giving cards for pretty much anything. Maybe he's a basketball ref in his spare time? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkyDekker 1,465 #93 June 21, 2010 because those refs are cheaper too buy. Like the penalty call for the Italians. Or the call that wiped out winning goal for the US. I have a hard time believing people truly think these calls are a coincidence. Every tournament is rife with calls that go in favour of the "old Boys".

Yes, once dismissed the referee will not be back again at this world cup. South Africa up 2-0 on France in the first 20 min. France down to 10 men from a red card.
