Metal Reviews

i mean, how can seriously defend using additional refs instead of GLT? they both serve the same purpose, only one of them is far better at it!

Oh my. I expected Germany to win, but not by three goals. I think perhaps if England's second goal had counted, as it should have, then maybe they could have made it to penalties, but perhaps that would just have delayed the inevitable as England suffers from a penalty curse.

Aregentina will make quick work of Germany assuming they can get past Mexico. Vamos Mexico, hermanos hispanos de diferentes madres!!! Espero que ganeis! QUe se jodan los Argentinos!

another game-changing mistake, Carlos Tevez was offside on Argentina's goal.

Yep... Videofuckingreviews. This is the fucking world cup, things should be done properly and perfectly fucking just. This pisses me off. And of course it was Scarface. The Cunt.

Yikes. I think the Mex-Argh game is worse even than ours. OK, fine, bring on the videos and cyborg implants, it can't make the game any worse.

Yes, again, truly atrocious officiating. Argentina's first goal being allowed is actually worse then the England goal not being counted. Tevez was a full three yards offsides. Why call it a goal and then run over to the linesman for a second opinion if you're just going to call it a goal anyway? Really, this is fucking pathetic.

I suspect FIFA will finally give in, after all the complaints they finally came out and recognized that the ball is a piece of shit. Why do they have to wait until it's painfully obvious that they're wrong before they do something? I suspect it's because the French formed FIFA and it still has a French essence lurking about it's governing body such that no wrongdoing is ever owned up to.

if FIFA do anything they'll roll out the goal-line referee, as they really want football to retain its "human element" (read: unnecessary unfairness).

Argentina! Yeah, the officiating was bad, but they still won pretty formidably...same thing with Germany/England. Now that USA is out, Argentina is my team. Trying to disprove all the people who say Americans will stop watching

Pah, glory-seeker! The Argies did play bloody well though, and Maradona is strangely loveable, the greasy old cheat.

Argentina didn't play formidably. one goal was offside, the other was an unbelievable mistake by the defender and the third was a rabbit pulled out of Carlos Tevez' hat. Mexico missed chance after chance and hit the woodwork twice in the first few minutes. a deceiving scoreline if i ever saw one.

Agreed.
Anyway, one of those teams will lose agains Netherlands in the finals.

I still think it will be an Argentina (or Germany) - Brazil.

I think technology must be mandatory on offsides and to decide if the ball is in or out. I undestand a foul, a penalty, is more discutible, but these things? Technology can help a lot in these things.

FIFA needs to correct a lot of shit in football but does nothing. First the fucking vuvuzelas destroy the football, now that got a bit bearable this time it is the fucking refs making shit decisions. What needs to happen for FIFA to act against something quickly?

and FIFPro, the players' union, has also joined the chorus of criticisms:

Hehe, some sore losers at the NYP, eh?

What letter does Stupid start with? S!

That can't be real.

I think it can. So many people on this planet, there ought to be idiots like this somewhere...
