Portugal is getting assaulted.
You would never think it is 2 vs 3 match up...
The way those rankings work, you can't really rely on them.
Real talk. We were 5th in the world at one point.
On another note, Xavi got stupid vision. His shit is dumb hot.

Yes, Xavi is godly.
On another note, they should put in Victor Valdes.

I said something about the rankings before... I was making a sarcastic remark.. So far No2 looks like a man, and No 3 looks like a boy
with all the controversy with the refs i have 2 questions
1-who governs them or chose THESE refs
2-what does it mean for future world cups and other leagues? will instant replay be involved ,etc

Larrionda, Rosetti left off Cup list
JOHANNESBURG -- Uruguay's Jorge Larrionda and Italy's Roberto Rosetti, whose blunders have prompted FIFA to rethink using video technology, have been left off the list of referees for the rest of the World Cup.
Larrionda failed to see an England shot cross the line in a 4-1 loss to Germany, and Rosetti wrongly awarded a goal to Argentina's Carlos Tevez against Mexico when he was offside.
Without giving reasons, FIFA announced the cut Tuesday.
Two more left out were Koman Coulibaly of Mali, who disallowed a third United States goal in a 2-2 draw with Slovenia, and French ref Stephane Lannoy, who harshly sent off Brazil's Kaka for a second yellow after Ivory Coast's Kader Keita ran into him while going for the ball.

FIFA and FIFA
I'm not even making a joke, FIFA handles #1 and if you want the answer to #2 you gotta talk to FIFA.
FIFA is making MLB look good with they way they handle shit.
FIFA has a committee that selects the referees that will participate in the World Cup. The criteria is unknown, but one would like to assume it's performance based off the number of games refereed, and quality of the individuals officiating.
Given the recent blunders with Rosetti, Coualiy, etc, FIFA will have to sit down and reassess this process in order to have a better overall experience as far as the officials are concerned.
Two best refs in the world right now IMO are...
England's Howard Webb
and Sweden's Massimo Busacca
With these two, you almost always forget there's a referee on the field.
This ref today has been alright, he's let play go on, kept the cards in the pocket so far......he's doing a good job so far in my book.
Edit: Howard Webb is THAT ref

lol its like the refs think people paid to see them instead of the actual players.
this is why i stopped watching the world cup. not just cause u.s. lost but i was actually rooting for brazil.who knows if the fix is in.
and if a ref comes out after the world cup and blows the whistle (no pun intended) on a fix,what then?

If he gets one he'll miss the next game.
What about the ref who kicked the South African keeper out of the Uruguay game? Africans need to make noise. What about the ref who left Luis Fabiano handle the ball twice?
Agreed. Fuckery. Absolute fuckery. Africans need to speak up and fight these injustices.
BGOL is the only thing keepin me awake.
Fuck sake this game is boring as fuck.
More boring than the Paraguay/Japan match?
Really just caught the extra time and PKs.
Absolutely. I'm takin that you aint catch that Paraguay/Japan match. That was good football.
