A drift control coulkd be implemented on the second thumbstick, yes.

The referees will always be some good and some intentionally chosen bad ones, because FIFA thinks it must imose on tournaments bad referees from minor football countries to not disadvantage them culturally and have every country, even countreies without pro referees due to lacking football tradition, sending one referee. Its stupid and against the sports, but that is what happens when PC and politics get pushed into sports.

On technical assistances, see what some post earlier I quoted godfather Blatter with.

Will not happen, because FIFA is a corrupt money milking machine and your wishes are aga8inst its business models. FIFA always milks the hosting coutnry for money and demands total control over national stdiums and all merchandising and ticket selling and media broadcasting, leaving the host with stellar debts and empty, useless and eroding stadiums (see South africa, the socalled white elephants, it will happen in Brasil, too, I promise).

The Brasilians now protest and complain about that, which is hypocritical on their behalf, because nobody forced them to file their candidacy for the cup and when they won the hosting, they all celebrated. They could have known what they had coming at them: a stellar bill, big social unrest and a massive waste of money. They asked for it, they wanted it that way. Their wishes got fulfilled, congratulations.

What you should hope for, to honour your desire for social justice, is that FIFa does not fin d any nation that is willing to host FIFA events. But since politicians are master sin wasting money that is not theirs and getting events like this for the ranks as something like building heir own private little Versaille castles, this will not happen so easily also.

I earlier compared FIFA to a Mafia-like organisation. I was not kidding, I was serious. It is a criminal. money,laundering and profit milking machine, corrupt and non-transparent and ridden with criminal activity and bet manipulation to the max.

You want social justice considered in tournament events? Nuke FIFA and threaten politicians with immediate execution if they dare to have a word in it - that is your only chance.

And that is true for many other international major sport events, namely the Olympics, as well.

The Brazilians can thank their lucky stars after last nights result and must take heed of the lesson from the Chileans because there will be more such tests of their nerves in future rounds.

The Uruguay defeat was no big surprise seeing as how much they rely on Saurez.

Being a realistic person, I know the USMNT will not pass Belgium.

Not a chance in hell, though I will still be watching and cheering for my home team!:up: I do not think we will make the same dumb mistakes against them as we did Germany, Tim Howard (New Jersey Boy!) saved that from being at least a 4-0 game.

So today I root for Mexico as a contingency plan.

My team loses I root for the closest team to my country, if Mexico loses I move into South America, beyond that, I would have to get out a map, and plot courses like I was a sub navigator to find out who to go for next.:haha::shifty:

Too lazy for that, so goooooooo Americas! (all the Americas, North and South)

Turn on the damn Mexico/Netherland games now!

Some great plays, some riveting back and forths!

Mexico is trying to stall, rather than attack. The US did that on Portugal and paid for it...

Mexico died the most brutal of deaths possible in football.

Anyone there wanting to discuss with me? No one...? Thank you.

:D :O:

:woot:

No sir. That was as embarassing as a grown man crapping his pants on his wedding day. (before saying I do, and the bride has sex with the best man on the pulpit (cuckolding the groom) to rub the shame in)

My backup team moves further south, USA tuesday, 3pm eastern time.

Miracle in the works? (Belgium is kinda scary)

With America, you never know. We always do things to piss people off, like win a group we should get swept out of.:O:

No need to discuss. I'm happy with the result. :yeah:

Truth being told, the first half of the Dutch was a shameful disgrace and an offence of the audience. Terrible.

It's a pity that Mexico could not move on. My sympathy in principle still is with the Dutch, but the Mexicans for most of the game were the better team, and are a very good team anyway. Their bad karma series at world championships continues.

Considering that an earlier penalty for Robben was not given, the result is okay. But the Mexican had more shares from the match, and did more to set up a fight.

In particular one A. Robben.
He'll win the Oscar for sure.
His theatrics are nothing short of Gold medal material.

Machst Dir schon Bange um Deutschland gegen Algerien oder? :haha:

Well the clog wearers where lucky and cheated their way to the quarter final, felt sorry for Mexico.
And well done Costa Rica, hope you can give the Dutch a game and progress to the semis.

So, did the Portuguese referee did a god job? Just asking because here, normally, he does not!!!

Better job than Ronaldo.

So you recon he'll be a good competition in the run for the Oscars against Thomas Müller?

It will he a tight run.
To be honest Müller bugs me too sometimes.

There's our friend who does it best, and more consistently.

Ah yes that one, it made me roll my eyes too. One thing to give him ''some'' credit for is that he admitted that one after the match. :rotfl2:

as for consistently it's pretty much a striker's thing these days just get yourself in the penalty area and a foot will find your way eventually for you to fall over. Funny how it also can backfire by having ruined a fine chance for a shot at goal. :roll:
And 100% fairplay isn't going to get yourself the Cup, most winners have had their shares of dramatic performance to get the whistle blown in their favour.

If they want 100% fairplay Fifa should allow technology aid the referees which Fifa obviously doesn't want :shifty:
