yeah like england's goal against germany, or the first goal of argentina against mexico . overall there were too many bad referees, the fifa should try to make a more decent selection of referees for the cup in the future imo. But yeah, i guess that's something that will always happen, until they implement replays or w/e.

Many goalkeepers complained about the ball before the world cup started, that's not something that happenes every tournament They went as far as calling it a volley ball (again, before the tournament started). Casillas (Spain), LLoris (france, Julio cesar (Brazil) were some of the keepers that complained.

The fifa probably thought that with such a ball there'd be more goals but they were clearly wrong

Stadiums not being full is disgusting.....if the WC is in England in 2018 I can't imagine there would be a seat spare for ANY game.  I for one would go to any game.....I'd go to North Korea-New Zealand if it was on.....it's the WORLD CUP.....doesn't matter if it's Brazil-Spain or the two worst teams in it....the World Cup final or a random group game....having it in your country is a privilege and I think the South African public have let their country down by not attenting in huge numbers (seeing as they had the easiest access to ridiculously cheap tickets.....I don't see them being that cheap over here!)

And yes.....the vuvuzelas do get a bit annoying, but it's a cultural thing...

well yeah i know. but what i mean is that it was annoying for us, the viewers. im not saying that it was unfair or whatever, as every ream had to deal with the same thing, but it was annoying to watch a game and the only thing you'd hear were vuvuzelas. it's NOTHING like drums or flares, those dont get you into your nerves
