This should be easy to officiate...

Just keep blowing the whistle for physical play, stop play, call back play, disallow advantage, give a free kick to every tackle and randomly blow for the slightest offside.
Mr. Green

That will certainly give us a reputation for being a lawful bunch!

the referee did a good job.

he sent a trinidad player off.

why did sweden field allback? he is a horrible finisher. if i remember correctly he failed miserably at the last world cup.

yesterday he missed a lot of chances again.

sweden have no luck. a disappointing results considering the number of chances they had!!!

It was still a much more entertaining match than the England match, though.

And Shamsul sure did a far better job than the Mexican referee in the England match. I felt that the Mexican was biased against England and seemed to get pleasure out of tormenting Peter Crouch. Confused

The second yellow card leading to the red card that Shamsul dished out was reasonable by any standard. The T&T guy had used a two-footed lunge at the legs of another player. That's a minimum yellow card for sure.

First red card of the tournament handed out by a Singaporean!!! How befitting for our reputation. I didn’t watch the match but from what I’ve gleaned from the BBC commentary, Avery John ought to have been sent off in the first half for a slew of bad tackles.

The man who was death SG

allback made his name at the last world cup and then villa bought him!!

anders svensson is a even more horrible fielding

allback could've finished the jonson chance if jonson didn't square the ball too far ahead of allback
