Americans are right. Soccer/Football is a rubbish game.
Beyond the latest Australian game, this world cup has been the most disappointing I have watched. I enjoy sports, I have previously enjoyed the world cup, but this one has been terrible, the ref's have ruled this world cup.
Soccer is won or lost on a single goal, and that single goal is OFTEN scored on either pure luck, or on the account of terrible officials. The best team OFTEN does not win on the day, and to me that is not a fair or decent sport. So far the officials have ruined the Australian v Germany game (terrible red card), the Germany v Serbia game (another terrible red card), the USA v Slovenia game (terrible call on the final goal), the Australian v Ghana (terrible red card, and the non-red card on the Ghanaian tackle from behind) and perhaps others I have missed.
At the end of the day officials should not have the ability to totally dictate the end score. The red card ruling should be altered to instead result in 10 men for 20-30 minutes maximum. To determine 10 men for the entire game, dictates the final score. It is bullshit.
After 16 years I am done with the world cup and soccer. NRL rules, okay! And Jim Beam (black).
