I'm not even going to mention the antics of the players themselves, with all their diving and writhing... OMFG!
But perhaps worst of all is the way the solitary ref can determine the result of a game... in a way that must make some AFL umpire giddy with envy!

Thank god we dont have the sending off rule in the AFL... but having said that, I'm as convinced that our umpires strive to be as fair as possible, as I am convinced that these soccer ref's are on the take, or at least under instruction.
We were robbed last time against Italy, as it seems were the Kiwis overnight!... And in the last 2 games we've had 2 of our best players sent off for laughable infractions.
Even cricket is better than this game!
Yes, I'll watch and support Australia to the bitter end, however bad the game itself, you cant deny the spectacle of such an enormous international tournament... but faaaark me, what a crap game!
