    SHAME TO EVERYONE WHO ALLOW THIS KIND OF REFREE TO MANAGE A WORLD CUP MATCH FOR REAL. I HOPE THIS KIND OF REFREES WILL NOT TAKE PART OF THE REMAINING MATCHES

    FIFA's contagious corruption and RACISM from SEPP BLATTER to match officials is not only embarrassing but dehumanizing! Why sould poor countries --including Ghana, which can't even provide good drinking water for the citizens ...

    Pathetic, very pathetic. Referee without shame in the eyes of billions of spectators. So it's not how much you can play but how much big a team you are. Ghana should watch out for their matches against Germany and Portugal as ...

    This is what always happens, bad refereeing always sees Braizil through tournaments. This needs to be stoped all let's boycott the game.

    Why give a great event such a distasteful performance of refereeing? FIFA, you need to crack the whip. Your reputation is at stake!

    Reputation at stake?
    What reputation?
    You mean the one that has been in the shit hole since Blatter took over on June 8, 1998?

    The Black Stars must come home if any such crap is visited on them at this World Cup.

    Referees and poor officiating. Referees will always do the damage. FIFA knows the referees that can do dirty job if they want it done.

    Watch the replay. Fred slipped in the box. He wasn't grabbed or brought down.

  • CHE 9 years ago

    Why did Croatia turn defensive at the early stage of the game when they were up by a goal? You definitely don't play this kind of game against Brazil, he'll no! It was a terrible strategy.

  • Ghfuo, heaven is not for fools! 9 years ago

    Becos fifa gives these nations money to prepare for the wcup. Fifa thinks it can influence who gets the win and who does not. In the Nfl, nhl, nba, tennis...these teams are financed by individuals so no one wants to be cheate ...

    "grabbed and pulled him down"?

    What were YOU! watching, Obrefoo?
    You need some serious lenses.

    Defensive or not is NOT the issue.
    The issue is that another Japanese ref made a critical call on a foul that NEVER was.
