1: the ball isnt terrible. Its different, yea and it makes it harder for the keeper, yea but still its not terrible. I cant stand all those discussions about the ball all the time, its all the time the same.
2: banning the vuvuzuelas from the WC would have be a freakin joke and offensive to SAs IMO. vuvus are part of the game in Africa and if FIFA decides that the WC will take place in Africa, the rest of the world has to live with what comes with this decision. I dont like lots of stuff in other countries around soccer but I cant and I wont do anything about it.
3: sure everyone is soo smart when watching soccer on TV, but seriously dude? I have watched so many games and yea there were many situations were I thought that was a bad call and after all it was but it was a tough decision to make in real time so Im fine with some bad calls, they just happen once in a while. But I cant remember that I have seen any tournament, league or something similar with so many bad calls and those being that obvious and IMO easy to prevent. Its rediculous that a team like USA doesnt win a match because one goal in the last minutes isnt given which was more then obvious. Thats just sad. Destroying games because of false red cards is frustrating me. Not given red cards for fouls where I would say someone should be banned from soccer for 2-3 months, like the Kung-Fu fight by De Jong, is plain stupid and seriously pissing me off. I just have the feeling that FIFA is talking way too much to their referees apparently and kinda confusing them. I saw lots of decisions for a yellow/red card that was far away from it and some where I cant believe they didnt get a red card, after all I am the one whos confused as this whole thing just doesnt make any sense anymore.. I feel like there are rules but how the player is punished is just bad luck or pure luck.
