2010 FOOTBALL World Cup

Jump to new
Let's face it: The refs are a disgrace. This idiot should be sent back to school and learn about anatomy: "The hand bone's connected to the arm bone. The arm bone's connected to the shoulder bone. The shoulder ..." last time I looked, it was nowehere near the hand.
 
Well done Aussies

Even though it was a draw, this was how it should have been played from the start

Playing with 10 men, we did well

One more game, we still have a chance.
 
I will send the bill first thing on Monday morning.

Wyg Don't worry about it I seem to pick scores better then I pick the share market
give me a hot share tip

We could have won this even with Kewell being sent off.
The ball did hit his upper arm The slowmo showed his arm not moving to deflect the ball. He even had his eyes closed so was not watching where the ball was going. Penalty was a hard call. If Kewell was not there they would have scored anyway.
We have a good team who aways give it a fair go you cant ask for more than that. Most of these players wont be in the next world cup

This was the team that should have played against the Germans
I doubt we would have lost by 4 goals


Winners Tonight should be
Brazil
Paraguay or a draw
Italy this could be a draw with NZ

Get real - if you don't line hearing about the world game, what're you whingeing in here? Open a rugby thread and wallow in wallabies.
Right now, some of us are interested in the World Cup. Fair enough?
 
Kiwis you beauty!

NZ 1 Italy 1

It would have been 2-1 if Wood had slotted his shot in the 81st minute. Brilliant keeping from Paston.
 
Paraguay (oddly a word not recognised even with spellchecker) is my pick to take it out

lol about NZ we had the italians on ice last time too..
 
lol nice double hand ball by Elano to score Brazil's 3 goal against Ivory coast. Referee eats at Elano's bakery it seems.....

Definitely a new dawn for Kiwi football after the last 3 results.

Would like to say N.Z should have won but despite the Italian's dive for the penalty they had enough chances to put the game to bed. Probably a fair result. Paraguay will be difficult to beat. To qualify they need a win unfortunately. I shall be up at 2.00am again Friday to cheer them on.
 

If you knew the rules you would understand that a handball is infact the whole arm. It was a fair red card as he stopped a goal, but the tackle on bresciano was a straight red also which would have evened up the match.

Why wasn't that rule applied then in the France vs Ireland qualifier that eliminated Ireland, a handball was acceptable there, what has changed.

Way too much much inconsistency in the referee standards and too many opinions of what the rules are (and too many Italians falling over themselves) is making a joke of the whole exercise.

Some of these girly boys need to put the stilettos aside, stop preening themselves and start playing football.

My valuable

Isn't a red card only warranted if it was a deliberate hand ball to stop a goal?

Most seem to agree that the penalty was fair, but many disagree on whether it was deliberate or not. However it was probably more of a 50-50 call than most Aussies would like to admit imo.

Agree with you the tackle should be straight red.

Well if the Aussies bail out I am switching my support to the Kiwis...

Absolutely. Some of the refeering has been disgracful.
That was a clear case of ball to arm.
What about the Germany v Serbia game, Vidic only got a yellow for a deliberate hand ball.
We were stitched up against an African side. Fancy that.

Soccer & FIFA have about as much credibility as Pro-wrestling and WWE.
