When a superstar shakes the ref's hand (or even acknowledges them in the slightest), the ref gets his attention he'd never achieve through his own ability. It inflates his ego and helps your team gget a 25-9 penalty count. It happens in every sport when a ref gets delusions of their status.

You sure have the ability to blackmail everything Mr. L


The Game last night between Aussie and Brazil bored the shit out of me, nuff said.

Out of the last 2 days games I hope Italy will go somewhere where its really hot and stay there because they are a discrace to the game. The dude who put a elbow hard in the american player just acted like nothing happend and wonderd why it was red card. They are falling over as long as someone comes 1 meter close to them

Would be cool if they dont get to the 2nd round

bahaha

LOL! How many times did Ronaldinho step on the ball too? They look a bit flat still, should be an easy win for them against Japan. They stunk last night too.

Im praying that Kewel gets banned for a game, then all we need is viduka to get injured then we might have a chance...
souriously though, the way our so called top guns are paying is aweful, viduka must do something this game

[JB77]

Kewell shouldn't be suspended, the incident was after the game and not during it so why should he miss a game. A fine would be better, he has heaps of $.

Viduka has to lift against Croatia.

[Leighton]

Kewell was cleared. Great stuff, but I fear a referee backlash against Croatia cause it's clear to me FIFA don't want us there. Shit ref after shit ref and they won't let us in when we win our group (they let in the top 2 from the others don't they?).

Viduka and Kewell might not be great finishers, and they aren't, but are good links between the mid-field and the forwards. Cahill will probably be in the peak of his career in 4 years though. Australia could do with another finisher by then though.

I like it how Liverpool call Kewel the Australian Parasite - coz hes so shit. Its simply bad sportsman ship to blame the ref for our loss

[Leighton]

Kewell did something everyone should do more of in sports: he held him accountable. He didn't blame him for the loss at all. There's a massive difference. I hate people who shriek whenever a ref is even questioned. They're just as responsible for the mistakes they make just like Kewell is for missing his chances.

Oh no doubt the refereing was poor, i wasnt denying that, i just dont like it when players harass officials like that, expecially in the manner that kewel went about it. There is a time and place for that and it isnt after the game imo. Anyways lets hope kewel can find the back of the net against croatia
