It just seems that the refs are letting everything go, and then after a while they get board and call the next thing that happens. I'm confused as shit about most of what is getting called and I am definitely dumbfounded by what hasn't been called. It's one thing to let players play it's another to let players play dirty.Cheezyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10032603890931960798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6877352591328171428.post-26932145078312895972009-04-20T13:51:00.000-06:002009-04-20T13:51:00.000-06:00Other than breaking the trophy, he did nothing wro...Other than breaking the trophy, he did nothing wrong! lol<br /><br />but yeah ive noticed real lack of decipline so far, lots of players kicking away balls, for free kicks and kick-ins, not listening to the refs at all when being told to give space, etc etc, never mind some of the rougher playJohnny Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00609136288706102731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6877352591328171428.post-77069539305629606452009-04-20T13:17:00.000-06:002009-04-20T13:17:00.000-06:00I agree, how that Greek defender didn't get a red ...I agree, how that Greek defender didn't get a red card blows my mind. Nobody feels sorry for ROI but they were playing a good game and that guy went absolutely nuts, especially when he attempted a flying tackle on Collins who was smarter and quicker and ducked underneath it. An absolute joke. Collins did nothing wrong and even if he did, doing crap like that does not belong in the game. Plus he was yelling at the ref and booted the ball away at the end of the game. He could and should have received cards for all those things.Illegal Alienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06909765317188953309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6877352591328171428.post-17827439126712672062009-04-20T12:58:00.000-06:002009-04-20T12:58:00.000-06:00Anyone else notice the complete lack of cards in t...Anyone else notice the complete lack of cards in this tourny. <br /><br />I got taken out dirty in the game against Scottland.

The only thing muffling them is your fat ass. <BR/>The team is built on strong defending. thats what won us a championship so we'll stick to our guns. We will score more goals than last year guranteed, even with the loss of some of our more gifted players. We have replaced them and will still find ways to score. <BR/>As I recall it was you who once gloriously put it "it doesn't matter if we win 1-0, 2-1, 5-2, 7-6, or 13-3" haha<BR/><BR/>I am looking forward to the germany game. should be a good one to open the group.ole gunnarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05432404628307510840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6877352591328171428.post-63417162767999784302009-04-05T11:28:00.000-06:002009-04-05T11:28:00.000-06:00This may be the first and only time that I agree w...This may be the first and only time that I agree with Ole Gunnar as he is a complete DOUSCHE BAG... and I can't stand the guy what so ever.... Ole your a dud!<BR/><BR/>With there being soo many players on the field, and the ref's lack of calling fouls... the quality of the defenders isn't as important as the defenders willingess to kick the shit out of the attackers.<BR/>I remember playing against Norway last year, and nothing against their defenders... but they aren't anything spectacular. Yet they were strong, and fierce that it was almost impossible to turn the defender without being taken down or ran over.... which in this tournament is a strong point as the ref don't call as much fouls. <BR/>So with that being said, Norway's defence will not be bad by any means as they are suited for the enviroment that this tournament presents.<BR/><BR/>But a 6 piece on Simon, let's be real Ole.... they have Adam Laing back there, that a 5 piece is abit more realistic!XA91https://www.blogger.com/profile/10345010176986396719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6877352591328171428.post-29604289224925662592009-04-04T17:20:00.000-06:002009-04-04T17:20:00.000-06:00haha, 6 a peice? ireland was the only team last ye...haha, 6 a peice? ireland was the only team last year to put in more than 3 on us, and our team is stronger this year... i don't see your logic behind that. same core of players? not really, losing zerr, bolen, brady, peto... is that not the majority of the core players? and bad defence? give me a break. look at norways team in general. they lost nearly every player of importance that they had. <BR/>they have klempner in net... can't see that being a strong addition. you no longer have jarvis at the back.... thats not going to help you any. Braden and goose at the back..weak.... so lets say they score 6 against the germans... won't help much if they are giving up goals into double digits.better than youhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12924627796384555554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6877352591328171428.post-52386254858090754402009-04-04T15:08:00.000-06:002009-04-04T15:08:00.000-06:00germany is a completely new team this year it is ...germany is a completely new team this year it is even being ran by someone new we have alot of players that have moved on and been replaced with very good players We will give any team in this tournment a run for there moneygerman4lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364370469048877280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6877352591328171428.post-45167390372667543332009-04-04T14:03:00.000-06:002009-04-04T14:03:00.000-06:00i dont think that will happen. germany has the sam...i dont think that will happen. germany has the same core of players that have done shit all in the past world cups.
