The World Cup Referees are deciding these games
and that is complete BS. If that was a foul (AUS-ITL) in the 93rd minute, then slap my ass and call me Sally.

1. The referees have made this World Cup an absolute disgrace
Team USA got robbed twice this Cup alone (plus got robbed in 2002 against Germany). Now the Socceroos are the latest victims of FIFA's incompetence.

8. Well, but Mexico got robbed against the US in 2002
O'Brien's handball was a lot less debatable, BTW. :P

5. Beyond brutal, it was fucking criminal what the refs did in that game
Lots of dubious records in that game, the foremost being the record number of yellow cards thrown.

And it has been characteristic throughout this World Cup. Hell, I never thought I'd say this, but the calls in the World Cup have been worse than those in the NBA. Just a disgrace.
