FIFA need to do something about the quality of the refereeing. Pretty much every problem I had with this years cup stems from that.

Oh and can we please put sensors in the ball or cameras on the line or something so that we know when the ball has crossed the line? It's ridiculous to be trusting that sort of thing to eyeball Mk I in this day and age.

[NGTM-1R]

Ah, but is the Eyeball Mark I Mod 0?

[karajorma]

Revision number is a matter for another debate

I don't know if this has been posted and I'm not going to check. Thanks for Kazan for the link. Get ready for the Zidane-super-headbutt-'o'-doom. If gets worse every time you watch it yes, but also funnier.

YTMND are having a field day with this

About half of the most viewed pages are Zidane related

Yep.  This is the best so far, IMO.

I wonder how long before someone makes a mugen fighter out of him...

Surprised Zidane got sent off when no-one actually saw the incident on the pitch.  I don't buy it from FIFA that the Fourth Official saw it himself, rather than watched a replay.  Zidane would have gone straight away if that had been the case.

Bear in mind neither the 4th official nor the referee spent their time twiddling their thumbs; what's likely IMO is that the 4th official saw something, tipped off the ref; the ref walked back up to the incident, spent a few minutes talking to the players and calming them down, and then went to the linesman to hear what he saw, and only then got out the card.

I doubt, in a world cup final, the referee would want to send of Zidane without at least getting the linesmans view of things (given where the 4th official was located in seeing the incident).

Isn't that what the headsets are for?

[Skippy]

You know, something like that already happened several times, but this time someone noticed

Btw this is interesting too

[Kazan]

this is what i think about italy winning

[12:37] Kazan: **** italy
[12:37] Kazan: Diving is for swimming poools, do da, do da
[12:37] Kazan: Diving is for swimming pools, oh do da dei

[CP5670]

I have no idea what this is all about, but those headbutt movies are hilarious.

You're not bitter in the slightest, though.

Mmm.... you  might want to edit page 1 before anyone looks, though.

i called things wrong, without going back and reading i believe i put "could" and other thingsl ike that in most of the time.

I don't need to go edit things to hide the fact that I made a bad call

Not so much out as 'Frank Lampard shot', though

Well, I did say so, if I do say so myself

Zidane this,Zidane that...he isn't 100% French,you know this.
France won the world cup in 98,winning another cup after 8 years,c'mon...

A world cup is what Italy needs now.After the M-today(read "M-oggi")Calciopoli,players like Buffon(clown)and Del Piero now will certainly play in series C with some point penalties. News reported:"We won the world football cup,but are we going to win the Justice's one too?".

PS. Don't say "FORZA ITALIA" with political intent.I don't know what do you think out there,but Berlusconi "Made Italy free from Liberty" for over 5 years. We all hate him,except the Padanian League loyalists,the same who want to divide Italy in North,Central and South like before the unification in 1861.

[aldo_14]

The likes of Del Piero, Cannavaro, Buffon etc will almost certainly have release or cut-price transfer clauses in their contracts, so if Juve go down, they go elsewhere.  I could see Barca swooping for Buffon, in particular.
