[kj] (OT) World Cup

> .There has to be proper refereeing and consequences for unsportsmanlike behaviour. 

 
The refereeing so far has been either bad, uneven, or both. Also, I think they should have instant replay for just red-cardworthy offenses.  Just the fear of getting reviewed for one will be a deterrent, I hope.
 
Just found this article saying how the U.S.sings together before each game. One of their faves is "I got a Feeling," by Black Eyed Peas.  
With their record thus far, the Netherlands' song should be Queen's "Another One Bites the Dutch."
 
 
..are there also WAG academies...? hm.

    Someone must have told him if you work too hard... you can sweat"

Elite athletes do not fall over with a shirt tug. Soccer players falling over left right and centre in simulated agony is despicable. Train that into them (as they do in soccer academies) and you’re training to fail, what the bloody hell is the point of that?
 
FIFA needs to wake up and get with the times, introduce a video ref and stiff penalties for histrionics. It’s a low enough scoring game that refereeing is critical to begin with, without the incidence of fake fouls. There has to be proper refereeing and consequences for unsportsmanlike behaviour. Legitimate fouls need to be penalised, but pretending to fall over with no contact or minor contact deserves the removal of that player from the match. It’s a disservice to yourself, your teammates, the fans on both sides, and all the previous greats who played honourably and took a bit of contact ‘on the chin’ so to speak, and got on with scoring goals. (And scoring multi million dollar pay checks and top-shelf model WAGs ;)
