So far two games marred by bullshite and a Mexico victory. I waited four years for this...

I get people complaining about the penalty call, but it's not like Costa dived there.

The only contact was Diego stepping on the defender. Absolutely awful call.

Yeah but you can't blame the ref for that. At full speed it looked like the defender swept his leg. Diego sold it well.

Don't worry about all of these terrible calls, guys.

I'm sure these will all go our way in our games.

These last 2 penalties are examples A & B of why Americans will never care about the World Cup. Totally shameful. Euros can live with this. We won't.

How y'all get into this is beyond me. The officiating is more of a joke than the nba and that is saying something. The players flop around like giant pussies. A guy gets fouled and someone else gets a penalty kick? This lame arse shite will never catch on big in Murica and I'm damn glad

It really is making me look forward to next season much less.

I don't care how much of a dick it makes me I really hope he suffers a significant injury and it blows up the transfer.

I've gone from really enjoying watching Spain in 2008 to disliking them as a neutral in 2010 to outright disliking them at this point, other than Xavi, Iniesta, Cesc, and Casillas.

not go to all :Randy:, but FIFA molding refs to cave to their bullshite has really warped the game

size and strength are disadvantages now, and FIFA has enabled so much more flopping and bullshite FKs. to quote droba, this world cup has been a fricking disgrace

Americans bought more World Cup tickets than people from any nation other than Brazil, fwiw.

It's not usually this bad; hence all of the complaining from all of the soccer fans, pundits, etc.

Yet you're posting on a Soccer Board that's been around for four years. It has already "caught on" and will only get bigger.
