there have been a number of other tackles that should/could have been carded that may have eventually resulted in a double yellow. unlikely but possible. but it definitely should have been 11 on 10.

Oh, he mad.
As an American who watches no soccer, I am pissed at this game. I have really gotten into soccer this world cup, and really want to follow it more going forward. But seeing how FIFA is and hearing this is just more of the same from the Vets on this board, it sucks. And then this game happens. Makes the whole World Cup semi-tainted to me

Giroud for being a dumbass. He elbowed Obi Mikel in the face in the 1st half.

Unlike bitching about the ref in the Holland-Mexico game, the complaining about the ref in this one is legit.

France should definitely be playing a man down.

Nigeria just can't do shite any more. Seems like they have no urgency. France completely controlling now.

My great grandpa is from France, as well as most of my ancestry. So that's why I root for France (unless they are playing the USofA).

France may get away with murder, and I may not agree with officiating, but that will not make me less happy that France won.

Geiger has definitely missed some calls, but if you guys think this is the most unfair game ever then you haven't been watching the sport very long.

Meh, tigerdroppings.com doesn't make some one a veteran of any sport. I've been a stalker for years on here for what it's worth. Also played soccer since I was 8.

Also, I have this game on DVR. Can't watch it at work, so I'll see what the fuss is about tonight.

I don't think anyone is saying it's the most unfair game ever. I'd hope we wouldn't devolve into the First Take gasbaggery like that.

But there were two legitimate red cards that could have been handed out to France. That's all.

Emotional reaction. I don't think anyone is remotely serious about the long-term implications of this game.

People on this board bitch about officiating way too much. France was the better team, nigeria played well but they had no cutting edge, no quality in the final third. As soon as Griezeman came on for giroud France killed them. It could've been 4 or 5-0 easily.

Also I can't believe people wanted Nigeria to win, Germany and France is going to be an awesome game on so many levels. frick all the African teams they're just the worst
