All it would take is two independent refs and a TV!!
Just refer key decisions such as penalties, red cards, 'did the ball cross the line'...

They deserved to go home, b*st*rds
Serves them right.
They kicked the Japanese off the park, were lucky Brazil didn't slaughter them, won against Croatia with an offside goal and were just generally a bunch of roughnecks. The hypocrisy of that fscker Cahill trying to get people booked, talk about brass-neck.
Was a bit worried that it was a penalty though. Italians and pressure-penalties don't generally go together, but well done Totti, the fiats will be hionking their little horns out tonight all over Roma.
(And cue SB with moronic polemic claiming it's a plot to discredit ex-celtic players, mwahahaha)

Useless Aussie b*stards!
I can't count the number of times Aussie sportsmen have thwarted me in the past by coming up with the goods. This time, I have £20 on them at 11/2 and they can't even win against an Italian side with only 10 men for almost half the game.
I agree it was a disgraceful dive but it was hardly a surprise when it came.

It's tedious when teams train for many months, expectations build, then it comes down to a split second decision and some play acting.
That's just is not interesting at all.
Not much point in watching a match to have it won by who could fool the referee, rather than who played the game in question the best, in any sport.
For comparison, the Oympics spend a huge amout of effort trying to stop cheats, - even after they have 'won', when they are found out, they are stripped of their victory - and banned from competition. They do that to try to maintain some semblance of respectability.

Rubbish!!!!
Why make the game even more tedious than it is already? why remove talking points?
What they need is to explain to players that they are playing a physical game and not to fall over when an opposing player hovers into sight.
Its a funny old game...its not some clinically clean game....fek that fer a laugh!

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.

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....
