Bad referees today.

In the game Germany against Serbia the referee was showing cards 9 times, most of the time for ridiculous reasons.

And USA would have won today if it hadn't been for the referee. Their third goal was valid.

In Serbia - Germany game there was a few iffy yellow cards, but 99% of the calls were right. Germany tends to play very physical and it was a nice change of pace to see someone call the little bumps, nudges and kicks to the shin for both sides...

The game was very clean for a reason.

Second game ref had some bad calls for sure.

I disagree, the first yellow card given Klose was the most ridiculous thing I've seen so far.

I disagree too , 4 of the 9 cards where not right , not say that it wasn't a foul  but a card is too hard

how can you say it's a nice change of pace when the ref calls every little bump ? it destroyed the whole game  and not only for the german players also for serbia

9 fucking cards 

you wont see this in a champions league match  or in the german league  or in any other league


I thought that was one of the more exciting games in the cup so far, so obviously the game wasn't "destroyed" by bad reffing

You can't say that ref was calling it one way either, he was calling everything. The probelm for Germany is that they couldn't adapt to the reffing style hence why they got more calls...

The USA still has a shot at first in their group if they beat Algeria and Slovenia and England tie, right?

They do but England is going to blow up. They are too good and have played too poorly not to explode.

USA will come top, but if Germany don't come first in their group, that's a disadvantage.

USA will beat Algeria by more than England will beat Slovenia imo.

Algeria will have to go for it, leaving spaces for the USA.

serbia got 4 cards too , and germany got at least 1 card that wasn't legit

and when even players say it's not fun to play because of the ref  than it can't be a good sign

and I'm not only talking about the german match

also the match yesterday france vs mexico was annoying to watch because every minute the game was stoped

football is a game wit physical contact

I find fault with that logic. Maybe they'll play poorly again, because they're not such a great team after all. Rooney can't keep possession worth a damn, Lampard and Gerrard can't cooperate, Carragher is far too slow to keep up with speedy forwards...the list of problems goes on and on. This England team is worse than the sum of its parts.
