    Default All the enjoyment I have had from soccer goes down with BS penalty kick.

    Such BS, was a no call and in last seconds of game gives penalty kick? Am I crazy to think that?

    If you're going to give a penalty kick which is essentially going to be the last kick of the game and possibly decide the outcome of the match as a whole then you sure as shit better get it right.

    Pity the ref didn't.

    Had Aus +0.5 and Under 1 goal in live betting. From 2-0 to 0-1-1 with that BS call. No more World Cup for me.

    Don't bet the elimination games guys, the only bets that are reasonable at this stage are teams to advance to next game.

    The drama is so intense in the elimination games i can't bear to have a bet on them on top of that.

    Watch and enjoy the great games, some teams inevitably will get screwed by bad ref decisions, but it happens in every sport, what about the nba finals, it was far worse there.

    I agree with you, its usually more expensive but it prevents the draw line to bite you in the ass.

    Refereeing will get better as the WC advances. FYI crappy referees as sent home as well as crappy teams.

    Dont lose your faith in WC. Its a beautiful tournament and I think its also a chance to make some $$$

    The worst was the Superbowl where the Steelers were handed the championship. At least, the Mavs had their chances and just couldn't close it out.

    FYI NOT ALL crappy refs are sent home, some are ordered to do their deeds to help teams like the ones who officiated in Korea's games vs. Italy in the last 16 and vs. Spain in the last 8 in 2002.

    The time to make cash was in the 1st stage of the tournament.

    Theres always been refereeing issues
    Remember Spain getting robbed by Italy in 98
    or Argentina getting robbed in the 90 WC final game...
    even back in 78 when Arg (home team) needed 5 goals against a very good Peru team.. they got 6.
    but the show must go on...
    it always does.
