It really is a shame that FIFA keeps frustrating the use of modern technology in football to correct faulty observations by mortals. Have another look at the USA "equalizer":

The likes of Brazil and Argentina who have talented ball players are doing well and scoring goals, my theory is because their coaches trust them to play to win whereas European teams are shackled by having to play to orders or risk losing their place by overcautious coaches who are afraid of losing.
England have good players but a rubbish team, why?

Let's hope those sl--zy cheating olive oil drenched players in Blue also get their asses severely wrapped by lead weighted spaghetti lengths. And as for the referee may he be relegated to "refing" in Iraq.
Go the All whites - can you say that ha, ha.

Everyone light a candle and say a prayer. They and their families will all be 'disappeared' upon arrival back home. Just like good old Uday Hussein used to do to failing Iraqi teams.

Chiles Vidal - another cheat and another absolutely appalling referee.
Itchy brother Kim jung Ill will not be pleased perhaps the NK's can play for France as there are hardly any French in that side - substitute for the sulk and his mates ha, ha.

I wish I could jeer at the French but I will either have to wait until tomorrow or just keep quiet. As for Pharvey on another thread, just think All Blacks v Wales.
