I've seen much of the rest of the world. It is brutal and cruel and dark, Rome is the light. -

Probably too much grappa

They just play the system. Officials can't sort the dives from the fouls, so Italy are in the quarters and the Aussies aren't.Originally posted by sasguruComment

As a serious question, how many times have in-game decisions by referees been overturned? We've seen quite a few iffy decisions by refs over the years.. saw a collection of Klinsman's professional dives last night - absolutely amazing that people who do that are allowed to remain in the cup when some are sent off for far, far less....Vieze Oude ManComment

Robbed!
There has been some good football played so far (coming from a rugby fan!) but the standard of refereeing has been appalling! The Australians were robbed! I hate to see injustice - even if the Aussies would have been unbearable getting into the Quarter finals!!
It must be time to move to Video referrees in major tournaments and "sin bins" like rugby has adopted.Comment

It really is about time that such important decisions are referred to a couple of refs who have access to the TV replays from multiple angles....Vieze Oude ManComment

Great minds think alike it seems....
Maradonna's 'Hand of God' joke goal springs to mind... who cares if it interrupts play for a minute or so to get an accurate decision...Vieze Oude ManComment

So let's hope we get our share of dodgy decisions until it happens!Originally posted by mcquiggdComment
