I'm sorry I don't agree. I don't think the ref should change how they call the game dependent on how much time has elapsed, what level of game it is and maybe whether that player or team has yellow cards/red cards. I just want them to call them how they see it, refs aren't perfect and they will make mistakes but I don't think that call could be classed as a mistake.

Apparently the Italians have some sort of obsession with flares.

And you'd be wrong.

Malouda should have a yellow card as well for flopping.l

its a football stadium in the middle of nowhere with rainouts frequent...personally I dont mind it, but those are the primary reasons why we need a new one according to the pundits that say we do. Whatever pundits means.

There you go then - Loria should be allowed to swap teams again!!! South Florida hate shim! Montreal hate him! And now the State hate him!!! The tema should move to San Antonio!!!

50? That's a pretty generous amount.

no we still hate Huizienga...cant say I wouldnt mind an owner willing to build the stadium with his own money and reinvest some of the revenue back into the team though.

True. Never understood the "well if it's this set fo criteria I should only call x penalties." So stupid.

If France wins because of a fracking dive, I will be severely pi$$ed off.

I was thinking more ironic myself but I suppose that works too.
