Here is a well-written article from yesterday's Age - A Melbourne newspaper - about the quality of refereeing in the World Cup and what should be done about it.
Hahaha nice one! That same picture was on the front of our newspaper today
Just look at the look of concentration on his face as he prepares for the roll followed by the grimace and shin clutch.
yes, this is very sad, that referee was sent off of Germany 2006 but who pay for it?.... Australia?... and Italy is in Germany 06 at the moment... thats very sad... FIFA is a big business

I don't agree at all with taking out the offside rule and enlarging the goal so there is more goals in the sport. I think that's not what this sport is about and that's why it isn't popular, for example, in America.
But, I'd definitely like to see having the American model for their competitions (NHL, NBA, and so on) implemented in European football, because they are so different. I don't know how that could be implemented but if it gave the chance of seeing my local team win something once in a while and everybody's team winning something once in a while instead of having the same teams always winning. Here in Portugal, in 72 years, only 5 teams won the Championship, and two of them only did it once. This is something unthinkable for an American, I guess, but... That's European football for you...
