I'd say I don't follow your logic, but I'm not sure there is any there.

That was sarcasm, because the word goes around that they wanted an African referee for political reasons or whatever, not the best referee they could get. I wouldn't be surprised if that's true.

Final starting in half an hour, I'm rooting for Germany. I think their the best team of WC 2014.

No... don't think so, but he definitely shouldn't have played on.

Best half of the World Cup... even with no goals.

i think the key here is whether or not garay had the intention to hit kramer. to me, it seemed like he did, hence the red card should have been given.

obviously if there was no intention then it's not an infraction.

mascherano has a yellow and makes a clear foul from behind. ref gives the freekick but "forgets" to give mascherano the second yellow.

1 minute later aguero (who had a previous yellow card) punches schweini in the face making him bleed and again the ref "forgets" to use the yellow card or the red.

Schwrinsteiger makes the tackle, realizes he's gonna get called for a foul and then reaches for his knee.

Jesus Christ this is why soccer isn't popular in the US (flopping and running/stoppage time)

And that's saying quite a lot, as anyone will tell you.

This tournament clearly showed that FIFA urgently needs to take a good, long, look at the way matches are officiated ans seriously consider scrapping it and starting over.
So, of course, they'll just pretend everything's fine and not change anything - or listen to anyone.

Sempai Sempai, if you don't get sarcasm THAT thick your sarcasmmeter is clearly broken.

Germany wins it all, all is well, well deserved, well earned and well played. =D>

Hey guys, what did I miss? I heard Lebron is in Cleveland now.

I wonder if this means a little more to Germany winning it as a unified Germany instead of West Germany?

No one agrees with that.

No one of the perhaps 30 analysts I've heard or the 10 regular viewers agree with that.

Why FIFA continues to f*ck up over and over? Recently FIFA said the penalty over Robben in the last minutes vs Mexico was correctly sanctioned, even though Robben has admitted he dived. And let's not forget Blatter's comment about CR7 saying he was a robot.

by **Timminz** on Sun Jul 13, 2014 6:28 pm

Robben's embellishment doesn't remove the fact that he was fouled. You need to get over that call.

by **nietzsche** on Sun Jul 13, 2014 6:29 pm

I just heard that the technical committee of coaches don't select the best players, they don't make lists either. Their job is to analyze matches and deliver reports to FIFA. FIFA alone (I assume Blatter) decides.

That was told on ESPN by a member of such committee.

No, that was not a foul. This is not basketball.

In the first half there was a clear penalty that wasn't sanctioned, but nobody saw that penalty in the last minutes but the referee. Robben admitted it.

It was a correct penalty. And Robben never admitted he dived in that situation. He was clear with his words and said himself that was a 100 % penalty. I watched the interview with Robben live. And believe me i understand Dutch

. I try to explain you what he exactly told.There where 3 situations in the game where he was fauled in the penalty box. First time was in the last minute of the first half. That was actually already a penalty. What Robben also told. He spoke about a second situation in the second half. The penaly in the last minute was the third situation and a correct penalty in his eyes. Some countries now telling he admitted diving about that given penalty. Not true and not cool.
