Getcha popcorn ready

The USA-Germany and Italy-South Korea games in particular stand out to me as being terribly officiated.

USA - Canada at the London Olympics in 2012 - That Norwegian ref should have just worn a USA jersey.

The USA-Germany and Italy-South Korea games in particular stand out to me as being terribly officiated.

As BBB pointed out (and what the Corriere dello sport is saying), the games South Korea played against Portugal Italy and Spain were all questionable

when I heard yesterday they had this story i was hoping the paper would have some hard facts but they dont really

I was in Venice in 2002 on the saturday that SKorea played Spain ... and when the second good spain goal was disallowed that day shopkeepers stormed out of there shops looking skyward and swearing ... i actually witnessed a shoplifting happen as a shopkeeper was totally focused on the game lol

That's quite the illuminating video, jstew...

Sepp addressed the fifa congress and had an interesting choice of entrance music

 

[jstewismybastardson]

he used the non radio edit which had "hoes" instead of "clothes"

Blatter: "a special good luck to all my bitchez at the womens world cup in Cah-nah-duh"

outrageous speech!!!!

 

[jstewismybastardson]

to be fair though, that charismatic speech SHORELY won over the Burundi delegation

I don't know if there's ever been as much anger at a team as there was toward South Korea after the Moreno shitshow. Remember the Bologna (I think) president selling the Korean player out of pure spite?

That tournament was the biggest joke I've ever seen. I'll never forget watching that Italy game and wondering what in the hell it was I was seeing.

 

[puckhead]

so do the 19 nations that have come out against Blatter face any wrath going forward when this is all done?.
put in the Sepptic Tank, so to speak?

ah yes yes Byron Moreno ... former FIFA ref and current convicted heroin smuggler lol

It was Perugia that sent the guy who scored the winning goal v Italy packing

My brother once asked YP Lee at Whitecaps training about the 2002 world cup and he smirked about it and went all "not speak good english" lol ... he also asked him about why he chose not to accept a transfer to Roma in 2006 ... again ... "not speak good english" with a smirk lol

going back to my previous comment ... the shopkeepers in Venice were PISSED about what was going on in that game ... and it was spain getting screwed not Italy lol

*sigh* Incredible.

I don't think Spain ever had as many people cheering for them as they did in that game, even during their 2008-2012 run.

 

[RangersReds03]

I had forgotten how badly Spain got fucked in that game.

Read full transcript of Sepp Blatter's bizarre winner's speech after confirming ANOTHER term as FIFA president - Mirror Online

"I will be in command of this boat called FIFA. We will bring it back, we will bring it back offshore and bring it back to the beach... beach soccer can be played anywhere. We have to work on that."

I think it may be time for a Sepp Blatter Comedy Unobtainium thread. This shit is fucking hilarious.

 

[jstewismybastardson]

Its ALL good for Sepp again!
