How long until England get screwed over by the referee?
Let's not lie, the referees in Fifa have a vendetta against England. A total and absolute vendetta, we are pretty much the most hated team in the world. Campbell's disallowed goal vs Argentina, Lampard's disallowed goal vs Germany, etc etc. A whole history of very **** decisions. I have no doubt that the talent of the England team has never been the problem.

Beckham's penalty against Argentina which Owen dived to win.

How about Maradona's handball?
Looking at the decisions made so far - in just 1 and a bit games - I'd say probably tommorow

Yeah, how could i forget the hand of God lol.
Was watching the first half of the Mexico vs Cameroon game. We are in for a tough time with referees. In terms of thinking about this logically, our team is good enough to go far. Brazil weren't all that at all, we have it in us to really go far in this tournament. But, it will be the refereeing decisions that deflate the team, it always has been. We have a young team too and when these big big decisions go against you, well, you start losing your mind whereas the opponent will pick up momentum. These decisions change games.
On paper and from watching the other big teams, we are not that bad a team at all.
The penalty last night was correctly given. The offsides today have both been wrong, but close enough that you can understand why it wasn't spotted properly.
As far as England goes, who cares which referee they get. They're not good enough to beat any of the top teams with the referee or without him.

Thank you.
Please don't hype up England, you'll only have your dreams crushed.
Victim mentality. And btw, Campbells goal was debatable, and in the Euro Champs so not governed by FIFA.

You forget the red card Neymar should have got for his attack on Modric. That could have literally killed the man. His eyes were on him, he knew what he was doing.
You also forget the foul leading up to Oscar's goal, it was a blatant foul.

And Croatias goal was incorrectly disallowed

Actually think that may have been a correct call, apparently you can't lunge into the GK in the box ... according to the commentator's understanding of the Fifa rules.

The Campbell disallowed "goal" is the most misreported ref's decision in history. Shearer was up to his usual trick of elbowing a defender off the ball. He always was a dirty player and that was typical of him. The ref was quite right.

No it wasn't. You can no longer lean on the goalie in the six yard box.

You also can't pull shirts but everyone does it. Touching the keeper shouldn't be an automatic foul it's ridiculous, it wasn't leaning they both jumped and happened to touch
