Who's ready for the World Cup?

Brazil has my favorite team (and women). No one opens up the field like they do and every player is a star. So are many of the fans!

Excellent game this morning. The US was robbed of that third goal, there was no offsides. When are they instituting replay? Damn refs.

Why pick a ref from Mali for such an important game? That's like picking an ump from Mali for the World Serious! This guy was horrible, and he certainly didn't waste any time to end the game! Hopefully he is done for the duration.

Actually from a soccer perspective USA v Slovenia is not really a big match. Neither team are expected to make it too far in the tournament.

I agree that he did suck though...the question is how he qualified to ref ANY game at the World Cup.

unless youre a USA or Slovenia fan!

This ref apparently was more than qualified... he just blew some calls. I heard he had ref'd the African World of Nations Cup, and some other high profile matches.

The ref in this morning Germany game was brutal... he was dishing out yellow cards like they were post it notes.
