Karma for '66.

WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT REF'S PROBLEM? THAT WAS QUITE CLEARLY A GOAL. GAHHHHHHHHHHHH.

At least things are looking up and it seems like we're still in the game, but if we lose by one goal I'm going to be so fucking angry. God, the referees at this World Cup have been shocking.

ETA: Well, that was humiliating.

I totes agree on the ref thing, but to go nuts at the decision? No. Ok? The US had 2 goals taken away from them in group matches but they still topped their group. Kaka also got sent off, but apparently it was a rly good dive so...even in the opening match the ref disqualified a goal for offside when it DEFINITELY wasn't. That's not mentioning numerous handballs (which wouldve resulted in penalties) that weren't given to a number of teams.

It's jux that the poor referee-ing hasn't been mentioned much at all until it goes against england's favor. Idk, that's what pisses me off the most I guess, up til now when refs make mistakes like this, they'd be pointed out then forgotten like 5' after. In my country anw. Just my opinion.

I don't think that's true at all. Obviously people are going to be most outraged when a decision goes against their team, but I thought that Kaka's red card and the US disallowed goal were just as terrible. And it's perfectly reasonable to be upset about a referee decision that's quite obviously wrong.

Then, like you said, that's only in your country. From what I've seen, everyone has been pretty outraged by how referees have been fucking up left and right. People should go nuts at this decision, shit like this happening at the WORLD CUP is unacceptable.
