I mean they really ****** this tournament up. I can't take it no more...Its got to the point that the refs are winning the games for teams. Penalties are given when they shouldn't be given, and Penalties that are really penalties are not being called. The offsides call is being called when the forwards and actually onsides. And don't get me started on the yellow and red cards. Every foul tends to be a yellow card. A ref gave three yellows to one player before seeing red. The sideline ref put up his flag against South Korea for offsides but was not called and the Swiss scored while the Koreans stopped. Fat *** Sepp Blatter needs to step down and elect a new president, because there needs to be alllloooootttttt of changes. It sickening to watch the games and see refs blow this beautiful game away. Its a brand new game now and I can't take it. Who Agrees with me?

I agree with you most of the teams that should have made it to the next rounds didn't because of the bad calls by the refs

I wouldn't go that far, but they are blowing a lot of big calls. But it comes down to this: the matches are 90 minutes long and that's plenty of time to take them out of the ref's hands. I sure hope the officiating improves for the remainder of the tourney though.
I've watched the WC closely since '94 and this is definitely the worst officiating I've seen.

Here, Here, Bad Umpiring or Refereeing is part of the game, but not to this extreme or this level, when halft of the post game coverage is devoted to how the ref's f****ed up somethings wrong, they need better trained ref's than the monkeys they are using now,

I agree with you , the refereeing for this WC is sickening ,,, it looks like the old guard at FIFA HQs will do anything to keep status quo ,,,There is a need for major changes in how the referees handle the game ,, TOO MUCH POLITICS ,,,

no matter what the refs are, you could get the best in the world, and there will always be mistakes made...if the mistakes were status threatening you guys have to remember the FIFA organization is behind this monitoring everything, it's not going unnoticed

OF COURSE! WHO DOESN'T AGREE WITH THIS? I THINK THERE SHOULD BE TWO REFS (ONE FOR EACH TEAM) SO THAT WAY THERE WOULDNT BE ONE REFTHAT GOES FOR ONE TEAM, AND THEY JUST TRY TO HELP THAT TEAM WIN. ACTUALLY THERE SHOULDNT BE A REF AT ALL! WELL, I DON'T KNOW, THIS JUST NEEDS TO GET FIXED!
