HotShot said:Bah that was disgraceful..
Firstly the ref didnt see it, secondly the linesman didnt see it either - unless he was retard - he saw the incident and didnt act on it. I mean WTF is going with FIFA and its referees.
The fourth official (cantolejo) saw it i think.Thirdly a video reply was used- this is not allowed rite?
How can we know for sure what he said? If a player automatically receives a red for receiving a headbutt, an Italian player could just "sacrifice" himself and headbutt Zidane.Secondly, there was no red card shown to materazzi for his racial slurs? or at least a yellow card for provokation.
fines mean nothing to millionare footballers when the world cup is the prize on offer1. Get rid of the red cards, and instead issue fines thats rite money. SO maybe $5000 for late tackle in the box or somethin.
I hope this is a joke4. Get rid of penalty shootouts. There is very little skill involved. a gud solution, would be to reduce the number of players on the pitch to minium of 7 a side after every few minutes. Or maybe, determine, through using the stats, possesion, shots on target, corners and create a formula to determine th ewinner after extra time.
No. Seven matches is plenty after a long and tiring football season.5. Tournament structure needs to be changed, clearly italy were no the best team and did not deserve the world cup. Italy played 7 matches to proceed to the final, thats not enough in my opinion. A better format would four groups of eight, where each plays each other once.
so A, B, C, D - top two of each group progess to second round consisting one group of eight. where they play each for the top four spots to determine semi-final.
that way way if italy had made it through they would played, 16 mathces (i think). This also means they would have played the other top teams to progress.
lol, some of that was soooo random! XD!HotShot said:Bah that was disgraceful..

Lastly, WTF is wrong with Zidane, he headbutts a player wtf? normally punching, kicking, shovinh pushing etc , but who headbutts? .. bizarree..
Lastly improvements for the next world cup.
1. Get rid of the red cards, and instead issue fines thats rite money. SO maybe $5000 for late tackle in the box or somethin.
2. Yellow cards for warnings, and yellow cards to players who ask for the card to be given, and yellow cards for divin.
3. Video replays used, to determine any fouls inside the box, to determine whether a penalty is to be given or not. Actually all incidents in the box must go the video ref.
4. Get rid of penalty shootouts. There is very little skill involved. a gud solution, would be to reduce the number of players on the pitch to minium of 7 a side after every few minutes. Or maybe, determine, through using the stats, possesion, shots on target, corners and create a formula to determine th ewinner after extra time.

I didn't say France were angels, only that they're angels compared to Italy. And you've got to be kidding me about France wasting time.....France was playing a very fast game and was always on the move whereas Italy looked dead.You're right about Henry though, he is a drama queen. Here's just one example of the disgusting behaviour employed by the Italians:fush said:Sorry but what game were u watching. Wasn't it France that got awarded a dubious penalty ( clear dive) which then bounced off the cross bar, in the goal and back out. And wasn't it Italy that hit the cross bar and was cancelled a goal.
And to talk about Fair Play. Henry stopped the game for a good 2 minutes at the very start. He looked almost dead but suddenely came back to life without any trouble. And then the Zidane incident...
Also what 'cheating' do you refer to exactly?
at the end it was actually barthez and france wasting time to reach the penalties.
Do you really think a player who earns millions and millions of dollars would give a rats ass about $5000?HotShot said:Bah that was disgraceful..

hahah determine through stats of possession wtf?? thats ridiculuous, each team has different strategies and ways of playingHotShot said:4. Get rid of penalty shootouts.

1982 world cup final between italy and west germany and italy's defeat of brazil in the quarters were some of the best world cup matches ever so if i were u i would go back and watch the games before you make such commentspolitik said:It's been a few days since i've posted in here, so:
1. I didn't watch the game. I woke up, drifted off and woke up later to find I slept through it all.
2. Italy is shit.
3. Italy won the World Cup playing the worst football imaginable (as they did last time they were champions).
So what if we are favourites to win? You should still go to the game to support your country, and also because we havn't had a national team game in Sydney since November last year, oppurtunities are somewhat limited.sly fly said:Going to the Australia/Kuwait game is a waste of time, money and energy. Aus is obviously gonna win.
