zenryan Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Blatter mentioned he'd like to see challenges. Well how about reviews of all fouls/hand balls that result in penalties inside the box. If the ref calls a foul/hand ball inside the box on the defending team, the ref looks at a replay or someone from the press box does to confirm there was a legit foul, not a dive. But only for plays that are whistled by the ref. If there is a play that results in what appears to be a foul but the ref doesnt call it then no review and the game just continues.

cabiness42 Posted June 13, 2014 Author Share Posted June 13, 2014 OK, not nearly as bad as the awarded penalty from yesterday, but a Cameroon guy just tripped over his own leg and the referee called a foul on Mexico. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do realize there are Irish Americans that root for Ireland, Italian Americans for Italy, Croation Americans for Croatia and so on and so forth. I don't come at you serious, we're cracking jokes, it doesn't really affect me wether Mexico wins or not really. I see you guys love making cracks about Mexico, I rarely speak up and when I do, seems that some can't take a little ribbing... Anyways, Mexico should be up comfortably but these refs are making NBA refs look competant. FIFA needs to use technology like the rest of the world, effing dinosaurs.

On Marquez....guess they missed it or called it inadvertent? I still have no idea what the call was on that corner kick where the possible 2nd goal could have been scored in the first half for Mexico...the first disallowed one was THIS close but a correct offsides call. Neither one of these teams were very impressive, although the weather conditions were obviously terrible. Cameroon has Samuel Eto'o and that's about it in terms of firepower. Pretty nice play by the Mexican keeper on that deep header attempt at the left corner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty nice play by the Mexican keeper on that deep header attempt at the left corner. I can only guess that the linesman thought it deflected off of a Mexican player. The only way Ochoa doesnt make that save at the end is if his foot slips out from underneath him. Wasnt much power behind that header.
