Guest ttfn Posted 12 June 2014 Posted 12 June 2014 Yeah because all games in Europe are of the same size. He'll have reffed in these stadiums http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._League_Division_1#Division_1_Stadiums_.282014.29 and will have reffed at other FIFA tournaments. Besides, he has his badges and is fully qualified to be a World Cup referee. No need to be a sarcastic. To suggest that he isn't good enough because of his nationality is racism. No, until Japanese referees are refereeing in the champions league, it's common sense.
AKCJ Posted 12 June 2014 Posted 12 June 2014 I doubt he's ever reffed a or been involved in anything as high profile as brazil in Brazil to open a World Cup. He should've sent Neymar off, it was never a penalty and the disallowed Croatia goal was debatable. Numerous other dodgy fouls/not fouls went Brazils way too. Ridiculous. How many people have refereed in games that big? You're looking at about 3 or 4 who still referee. I'm not saying that his performance was good enough. But blaming it on his nationality is fvcking moronic and that's putting it mildly.
Buzzell Posted 12 June 2014 Posted 12 June 2014 Called 3-1 in the first post of this thread Congrats!
Stadt Posted 12 June 2014 Posted 12 June 2014 That "Braziiiil, Braziiil" thing before adverts is the worst thing ever. Embarrassing.Just sing WASYLLLLL WASSSYLLL instead
Buzzell Posted 12 June 2014 Posted 12 June 2014 Unlucky Croatia there. The referee was shocking and Brazil were pretty poor. MOTM: Oscar, he was brilliant.
BoyJones Posted 12 June 2014 Posted 12 June 2014 A sad start to the tournament, shows all that bad in the game - teams work hard to get to the final stages and then a cheating referee spoils a nations hopes. I don't have any affection for Croatia but they didn't deserve what happened tonight. After 50+ years watching the game, I am obviously still naive, but the WC is already spoiled for me, it seems more fixed than horse racing, was looking forward to it, but will give a miss to all games now, but for England obviously. Brasil were basically rubbish, but can't see them losing with being given very dodgy penalties and having goals scored against them mysteriously disallowed.
AKCJ Posted 12 June 2014 Posted 12 June 2014 No, until Japanese referees are refereeing in the champions league, it's common sense. Why is it? He's clearly qualified, otherwise he wouldn't have been chosen. I'm not surprised Barton has deleted that tweet. Even he knows that he's miles out of order.
Kitchandro Posted 12 June 2014 Posted 12 June 2014 ITV just get lower and lower. Did Chiles actually just say it was a comfortable win? They just continually embarrass themselves. The theme tune is bad enough but then they get David Luiz and his cronies singing it One of the most cringey things ever. They could have had Sergio Mendez damnit.
kingfox Posted 12 June 2014 Posted 12 June 2014 Said before the game, people will bang on about Neymar, yet Oscar is the player to watch. Oscar was different class tonight, and you tits on here say I know nothing about football. Pish cya later

Bugg Posted 12 June 2014 Posted 12 June 2014 Croatia deserved to lose for having such a diabolical goalkeeper.
Guest ttfn Posted 12 June 2014 Posted 12 June 2014 Why is it? He's clearly qualified, otherwise he wouldn't have been chosen. I'm not surprised Barton has deleted that tweet. Even he knows that he's miles out of order. He's been chosen because he's one of the best referees in Asia. That does not automatically equate to being one of the best in the world and I strongly resent the implication that suggesting that a man with no experience of anywhere near such an occasion was not up to it is racist.If he was English and refereed in a league with no players playing for a top nation I'd question his suitability for such an occasion.
AKCJ Posted 12 June 2014 Posted 12 June 2014 Mate, this is FIFA we're talking about. He's 'qualified' because he's dishonest. I'm not going to go down the route of speculation. He has got his badges and he is good enough. Whether or not he performed truthfully is another matter. Still has nothing to do with his nationality.

Even he knows that he's miles out of order. there's being qualified and then there's being good enough. I'm a qualified referee. I'm not good enough to referee a game that big. I'd probably do better than him though.
foxes_rule1978 Posted 12 June 2014 Posted 12 June 2014 Itv comfortable! what the.... Oh forget it... I'm fed up with the World Cup already...
ScouseFox Posted 12 June 2014 Posted 12 June 2014 On a positive note we can comfortably take brazil in the quarters if they play that poorly

Whether or not he performed truthfully is another matter. Still has nothing to do with his nationality. Nationality doesn't make any difference but the league you referee in does. But yeh, the quality of the referee is irrelevant if they take bribes. And let's not sidestep the issue, he's refereed dishonestly tonight, there's no two ways about it.
kingfox Posted 12 June 2014 Posted 12 June 2014 Everyone can guess though Well Game 1, and my expertise was pretty much spot on. See if I can do the same with Mexico v Cameroon, that's if you make a match thread Bertram.

A continent of over 4 billion and he was chosen. Why do you think that's a bad thing? Or are you one of those that thinks Football doesn't exist outside of Europe? He's got his badges and is clearly qualified to be the referee. Where he is from is totally irrelevant and I can't believe I have to point that out to people with the capability of turning on a computer.
foxes_rule1978 Posted 12 June 2014 Posted 12 June 2014 Jeeze its one game. Chill out people. One game with at least four awful decisions, all in favour of the host nation
AKCJ Posted 12 June 2014 Posted 12 June 2014 there's being qualified and then there's being good enough. I'm a qualified referee. I'm not good enough to referee a game that big. I'd probably do better than him though. Slight different between qualifying for under 8s on a Sunday to the Fifa World Cup.
jimmeh Posted 12 June 2014 Posted 12 June 2014 One game with at least four awful decisions, all in favour of the host nation Croatias 'goal' wasnt a goal. The ref blew his whistle way before the ball got crossed into the box if you see. Yes it wasnt a pen but whos to say brazil wouldnt have scored anyway especially with croatias awful goalkeeper. Croatia will still go through anyway and I fancy Mexico to get a point against Brazil.
