True, but either way they still got owned. Could have made their spirit better though. Another mistake : Offside on Argentina's goal. The AR wasn't in line...

A what a great couple of matches last night! Unfortunate that FIFA think it is a better idea to bring in two extra match officials rather than video technology. But man, Germany vs. Argentina is going to be a great match! I'm picking Germany because they have a stronger defense than Argentina. Either way it should be a goal fest!! I'm going to be neutral on who I would prefer to get through, because I fancy both of these teams as good finalists, however I guess I would prefer the German's to get through.

so at least one of your favourite teams is gonna be in the semi finals
GER - ARG is gonna be epic! hopefully just as epic as GER - ENG.
The FIFA won't change the rules so soon, I guess. German expert Günther Netzer said, if it weren't for those mistakes, football wouldn't be as passionate, and he's right.
In any sport where you have referees you face problems like this. Me too I am against video evidence, at least in football. However, referees have to be qualified enough to see things like Argentina's offside goal or Lampard's goal.
Furthermore, you have to admit that mostly at the World Cup, you see referees making mistakes. This just comes from the FIFA wanting to have referees from all over the world. So sometimes, you have referees from the Seychelles who are just not used to judging such high level football.

Who?
I disagree. Football would be as passionate as it is right now even with video technology. That's just another lame excuse which I cannot see why should we accept. So he basically claims, that those mistakes are good for the game? Well then let him know that disappointing a whole nation and millions of fans with one wrong call will not make football more passioanate. It's 2010, it's time for them to catch up.
Last night there was a shot which was blocked by an argentinian just on the line. They refused to play it back... That shows weakness. I bet if that shot was in, many of the mexican fans or even the players would have left the stadium. Who knows? Maybe they would have walked away passionately.

Bring in straight red cards for obvious diving. Sure, occassionally the wrong decision might be made with this rule, but at least players won't be so eager to dive in the box. It's disgraceful watching players dive. Or, the referee should give away frees/penalties, but the cards should be given by a 3rd referee.

Here we go. Next wrong decision by a referee. That was not a penalty kick. Although I am very happy that Slovakia was able to score again in this match. ^^

The ref was just behind the goalkeeper. i think he should have enough confidence to give that penalty.
