Always making a judgement because of the skin tone of people? It apperantly is real american to spit on people that have the guts to be inependently thinking and calling americans on their faults.
For your information: the referee was Jorge larionda from urugay. That can hardly be called middle eastern.
From what I hear from the people that criticize the referee, they are all american, and preferably would have an american referee.
Well, that ain't gonna happen.
I must admit though that the way matches are run is completely out of date, but that is something that is a change needed for not only the worldcup, but all of the soccer competitions.
Changes that would be beneficial are things like cameras on the goal line, make the playing time to something like2*30 minutes clean playing time, and overall, more use of technical possibilities that are available nowadays, like using cameras in doubtfull situations like fouls. I think it would be a good thing if the FIFA would finaly go with the ever changing technological evolution. It would be a good thing for the sports, if the games would be judged in a more impartial manner, because we are all human and are prone to mistakes.
