...that never should've existed if the holland players had fair play and had given the ball back to portugal

I guess it was a bit unreasonable to expect "fair play" at that point of the game, it was just pure war anyway.

Poor Australia. ?They worked hard but just didn't create enough chances.? Italy were diving all over the place in the second half after yet another soft red card. ?I don't think it was a penalty either - I think it was another dive. ?What a horrible way to get knocked out of the World Cup. Cry

It was an utter disgrace.

I suggest FIFA get back to the drawing board and focus on basics like getting the refereeing right before their genious plans to reduce teams in domestic competitions.

Here where football isn't a #1 sport and has been ridiculed throughout the decades (where Rugby League and Union are more popular), it has taken off big time as a result of Australia's involvement, I can tell you that a lot of new fans who have barely watched a game before, find the refereeing and cards a total joke and laughable. Not a good way for FIFA to represent the game to a new audience. It's a joke.

Another red card!

I'm just incredulous at this point - will anyone actually be left by the end of the tournament without an outstanding ban?

Are the refs told to issue a quota of cards?!?

...and the most blatant fouls escape a card again and again!

True Danny.. we did work hard but you are right in saying Australia didn't create the chances. We didn't have any clear cut chances but Italy did do well in defending their area and restricting creating the chances.

Australia did work hard though and it was a cruel way to go out.

I bet Oceania will still not get a spot for the winner of their qualifying group in the next World Cup even after Australia have provided some thrilling matches for the World. They will probably still be forced to play a losing South American side.

At least my birth and #1 country England are still going.. just ?nervous

I know. It's laughable that some of the worst fouls go unpunished yet those which are clearly NOT fouls, or very soft fouls if that.. are dealt with a red card and the wrong decision made.

It is totally ruining this World Cup.

Every morning I switch on the news and you can be guaranteed the headlines will be red cards and refereeing decisions.

This has to be the worst world cup as an advertisement for football there has ever been

Who would get into football on the basis of the recent matches?

Even FIFA High Command is calling it a disgrace - well why dont they intervene?

A few teams have shown that you can play according to the guidlines very well (Brazil, Germany, England, Spain, ...)

That's absolutely correct. A few mistakes are being made, but it's nowhere near as bad as 2002 in my opinion.

Another reason why soccer is a fuckin joke.  Even though I am not a fan of soccer  I have always enjoyed watching the world cup  but  the officiating in this event has been a disgrace.  What was done to Australia today  was pure robbery  .  How can you decide a game on a penalty that never existed??  Now the Australians know what the USA felt  like when they were screwed  by the referees.  Only in international ciompetition   and soccer  could shit like this happen. FIFA  is as corrupt as orgamized crime. They are a mafia.   All FIFA is doing is making sure that the big name countries  advance  while the underdog gets screwed.   I don't like soccer but I did like the World cup until today .  That bullshit call was the final straw,  Fuck soccer  and most important  fuck FIFA and their corruption and manipulation .   I am Italian american  and I was rooting for Italy to win   but I did not want them to win on a bullshit call .  Even if Italy were to win this WC  , it would be tarnished  in my opinion.   Referees helped Italy against the USA by red carding 2 americans  and now they get a gift against Australia.   A lot of controversy surrounding this Italian team .

spectaculous??

and swingtrader, would you mind not starting threads with sentences like "another reason why soccer is a fucking joke". it makes you come across as a ballbag.

As for the part of your post where you made a point - 4 years ago italy got knocked out the WC by poor officiating. These things even themselves out.

I dont think anyone, besides you, actually thinks the ref's are being maliciously poor or that they're favouring teams; just that the FIFA guidelines leave no room for interpretation and that under heavy scrutiny the rules are actually unfeasable at the top level.

What does Australia have to do with what happened 4 yrs ago??  Why should they  be victimized  just so things can " even themselves out" .  Ridiculous .

Not much, but what happened four years ago has everything to do with your argument. Get a clue mate.

Oh, and I was gutted that the Aussies went out.

And England were rubbish, the refereeing decisions have been poor, bla bla bla.
