Quite obviously you cannot understand the difference between a sport where the winner is decided strictly by judgements and sport where opponents compete and the sole determining factor is goals. Show me a systematic analysis of the hundreds, thousands of calls made or ommitted that show for any of the World cup games that favored one team or the other. Taking single or a couple of data points out of the context of thousands and foaming at the mouth is making really stupid proffers. You seemed to have embraced the smear logic and methods of the vacant liberal minded lefty loons that post here. So I see you cannot address this.. In soccer only one bad call can decide a game. But to predetermine a game the calls would have to be very one sided. I have not seen that in any of the games I've watched. I've seen bad calls detected on replay in almost every game. None absolutely decided the game. The refs are fallible and watching 11 vs 11 with charges, tackles and in a heartbeat changes of possession not seeing everything is a real possibility. I would also expect the errors to occur towards the end of the game. This is because the ref has also been running for 70,80 ... minutes. With fatigue errors of attention and judgement will increase. This is not a conspiracy, it's just the nature of sports and being human. Something you seem to have little knowledge of. tom watson tosiwmee
