Near the end of the 1st round many people were saying that the games were boring and predictable.

However, the results from the last 2 days of games suggest otherwise. It looks like a couple of big name teams will find it tough to get through to the last 16. France and Italy being the obvious.

If Australia beats Ghana, Group D is anyones, and group F could be the same.

US just scored an equaliser so that bet looks gone beej.

Forgot to include England in that list!

That tw*t f a ref in the Germany match showed the red cos he's worn his yellow card out.

Refereeing is a pile of shite.

US should've won 3-2 for the same reason. The ref in that match wants shooting. Tosser.

What a load of total bolleaux.

often boring games so far ...but bazaar results ... :shock:

maybe bazaarly boring play!! ??

and a serious question: ---- isn't the officiating inconsistent and overbearing on these matches, so far?

I ask because honestly I do not have enough experience with the sport to have a fair opinion...

Teacher to class: "What does your dad do at weekends?" Little boy "He's a dancer in a gay bar and sometimes if the moneys right he lets punters bang his arse and cum in his gob. Teacher takes him outside: "Is that true? "No miss, its bollocks. He plays for England but I'm too embarrassed to say.

If the Brazil v Portugal game was not already highly anticipated at the start of the tournament then after their most recent games it is looking like a cracker.

(Prediction: entire PRK team defects in the next 24 hrs as no one wants to go home and get shot!)

am sure their families are guests of the PRK government for duration of tournament...

:lol:

**** 'em... let 'em defect!

Let 'em go to North Korea... maybe they'd be able to score a goal there.

Good riddance!

"PRETORIA, South Africa – Controversial referee Koman Coulibaly was left off FIFA’s list for the next batch of World Cup matches following the error that cost the United States a victory against Slovenia.

Yahoo! Sports revealed on Friday that Coulibaly was “highly unlikely” to take any further part in the tournament after being given a poor evaluation by assessors following his decision to disallow Maurice Edu’s 86th-minute goal. FIFA confirmed yesterday that Coulibaly will not play any part in Tuesday or Wednesday’s matches, which will include Team USA’s critical Group C finale against Algeria.

Instead, as they step into the arena of Loftus Versfeld Stadium on Wednesday with their World Cup life at stake, the Americans will be officiated by a man who has just witnessed a combat far more brutal than any game in the tournament.

Belgian referee Frank De Bleeckere will prepare himself for the occasion by watching a DVD of the movie “Gladiator” before taking center stage in a game that decides the USA’s destiny – with a victory guaranteed to put the Americans through to the last 16.

FIFA deliberately assigned De Bleeckere, a highly experienced and respected referee, to this game in response to the storm of controversy that came after the United States’ 2-2 draw with Slovenia. De Bleeckere has been in charge of big matches many times in the past, most notably a Champions League clash between Chelsea and Barcelona in 2006 which came a year after a pair of explosive matches between those teams.

“I don’t look at reputation or anything that has gone before,” De Bleeckere said. “I will watch the previous games of USA and Algeria to help me understand their tactics and work on my positioning. But I will watch ‘Gladiator’ first.”

Referees at the tournament have come under heavy criticism after a series of bad calls compounded by a stubborn refusal to explain their actions publicly.

On Monday, the FIFA Referee Committee tried to go on a charm offensive by inviting the media to an open day but totally defeated the object of the exercise by refusing to answer questions about specific decisions.

Neither Coulibaly nor Stephane Lannoy – the French referee who erred in sending off Brazil’s Kaka against the Ivory Coast on Sunday – were present. Coulibaly’s assistant, Inacio Candido of Angola, was in attendance.

When asked if the controversy following the Edu no-goal had affected Coulibaly, Candido replied: “A referee is like a player. When they lose an opportunity to score a goal, they put it behind them.”"
