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.

Just to add that there has been a general consensus here (Ireland) that there has been some very (very) poor referee decisions in the world cup thus far. The vast majority of after match commentary has mentioned the need for a video referee system to be introduced.

(But to be fair, we're obviously biased towards it because of Henry's/France's handball that was missed in our qualifiers)

Yeah, I think it's likely that some sort of video technology will be introduced after some of these farcical decisions. I mean, other sports use it and it works just fine, so I don't see why it wouldn't for football.

I didn't see the qualifying game you mentioned, but it seems like almost all teams have had a terrible decision go against them.
