Yeah a lot of games were won by teams who really shouldn't have (no need to mention who) but that's the nature of football - there's no instant replay and the outcome of the game is completely really in the hands of the first referee and the two linesman.

Buddy, you don't know what you're talking about. Of course fifa could rig the world cup. Poor officiating is the reason, you said it yourself. And you don't think fifa could have any impact on that? Are you that naive? And why do you think there's no video replay? BECAUSE FIFA DOESN'T WANT IT... this has been brought up before (even this week) and they said they didn't want to do it, despite the MANY "errors" *cough cough* of their referees. Hhhhhmmmmmmmmm.........
