      Yep, lots of fun. The referee doesn't need to speak English, or any other language, he needs to blow his whistle and point and the players need to shut up and get on with the game. Every 4 years crap referees from crap footballing nations give odd decisions and the English are amazed by it. Best part of the game yesterday was the Brazilian protestors stoning the ITV studio. Would have been even more entertaining if they hadn't had such strong glass.

      Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

      Until football has an off-pitch referee (like in rugby) who can review video of incidents its refereeing will remain a joke. Every time someone takes a dive it should be played in a loop on the biggest screen in the stadium while everyone points at the player and laughs, and the opposing team given a penalty. And some ice cream.

        Disagree, he needs to be able to warn them and explain decisions. It's not that I'm amazed by it, I just think it's stupid that each Country has 1 set of officials representing it. You should have the best referees refereeing the biggest games even if that means having 6 sets of officials from each of Spain, England, Italy and Germany.

          Dodgy decisions make football better, how depressing would it be if the only reason your team kept losing was because they were shite? Much better to have a referee to blame.

            Not to me it doesn't. Why does a football match in Brazil effect traffic near Luton on a Thursday evening? I realise you're not the best person to ask this question to.

              All I see are the crazy youtube videos of football (soccer) fans going nuts. They're crazy. :)

                That wasn't the football's fault directly. It was the trucks delivering Dave's weekend tipples.

                  Everybody rushing out to get electric on their meters? Or a rush to get the best spot outside the TV shop?

                        I didn't know tipple was a slang term for vibrating anal bead.
