:idea:



for brasil it always counts...

...all jokes aside I hope there is no refeering fiascos from now on. sepp "leave the cash in a unmarked envelope" blatter has come out with yet more critical comments in the papers today. i just wish he would shut up and stop asking refs to dish out more cards.

interestingly I was looking at the ref stats yesterday. interestingly the best refs seem to have been averaging 5-7 cards a game, but a number of refs have cracked much bigger numbers.

Is it just me, or does anyone else get the impression this guy is bent? Fifa reminds me of the mafia.

Without doubt blatter is power-crazed. I suspect up to some point he is bent, not as bent as Havelange was. Still, he is not a straight shooter, that's for sure. There's a decent little piece in the current New Yorker that pretty well sums him up.

 

Certainly there is a history of nasty speculation about World Cup tournament bids (most recently the awarding of the current tournament to Germany and not South Africa). It was uglier under the last administration, where without doubt there were kickbacks for the awarding of world cup tournaments.

 

That said FIFA is just an umbrella federation. To really understand the power machinations you need to look at the regional admins, like UEFA and so on.

 

There is and will always be speculation and conspiracy theories about refereeing and whilst local leagues have problems, I don't for a second believe it at the world cup stage.

Ronaldo is comin' out of the fat closet with good style. Zidane is comin' out of the old closet with good style.

At their current level, Brazil will defeat France narrowly. The French will have surprises, but I think Brazil will have the ultimate advantage. Basically, whoever wins tomorrow's game (ARG-GER, I'm a hardcore Argentina fan) will play against Brazil in the final.
