QUOTE (Tennie @ Aug 16 2008, 03:03 PM)  I don't know why he didn't play. The US commentators didn't say anything at all about injuries. There were shots of him on the bench and the commentators were screaming for him to come on from the beginning of the second half on. I'm wondering if they didn't want to risk injury. Cameroon played an extremely physical game. Yeah..I guess that's why..Cuz Cameroon usually plays football from a physical point of view and maybe Dunga probably needed fresh blood and physical possession..That's why he opted to go with Rafael Sobis |

QUOTE (gal_kenny @ Aug 16 2008, 04:58 PM) Fifa must have gotten it wrong then..Ma bad guys...But hopefully Pato isn't injured..Or Tennie did the commentators give any commentary on Pato? If he was, it would be like the story of 'the boy who cried wolf' ... Try convincing Zd again, Gluck (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

Anyways, I hope whoever faces Belgium next destroys them. |

Poor refereeing and Italy in one sentence does not surprise me at all. Belgium had more than just 11 men on the field. They had the referees too. Anyways, I hope Pato plays the next Brazil match and that Brazil goes to glory in this... even though I do not view this competition as legitimate. |

Pato is more talented though....what I wouldn't give to see him play for us (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) |

Strictly a tactical move not playing him... it could pay off later...

Italy were at fault for everything, they went from 1-0 to 2-1 down against 10 men, it just aint good enough. Then the referee gave them another penalty. To say he was on Belgiums side is a bit harsh. He did alot to help Italy. But as in the Euro's, Italy do have this very "The World is against us" attitude, whenever they don't win, it's the refs fault.

In fairness, Kurt, the first Belgian goal should probably not have been given. There's a legitimate complaint about that one being a bad call. The rest...not so much. They just didn't bring enough to the table.
The Italian press I've read so far does mention the questionable calls but they're actually more critical of the subpar performances. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Totally utterly disagreed. Italy played a lot better in this competition, and they were penalised unfairly on several calls. You simply don't have a case. Not at all. And what rubbish. He didn't help Italy, he only harmed Italy and it is verified fact that one of the Belgian goals DID NOT CROSS THE LINE. Simple facts like that can tilt the game towards the Belgians. It is the referee's fault. So your statements are utterly wrong. If the first Belgian goal wasn't awarded the balance of game WOULD MOST CERTAINLY BE DIFFERENT. I don't mean to come down harsh on you, but I think you're simply wrong. |
