Wazzup, Wazza?

This image says it all:

ouch!
Would you like some fries with that?

I thought the call was a little harsh, especially with Ronaldo “I can’t show my face again in England” running in to whine about the stomp, which the ref hadn’t even seen. Why show red here? You’ve got a nice, tight, evenly played match, a little chippy, true, but neither team had earned or deserved this kind of advantage. If anything, I was getting exasperated with all the Portugese flopping, even after being a man up, which should have earned them at least a yellow or two.

England, a little like the U.S. team against Italy (and to a lesser extent, against Ghana), finally started playing after they were down a man. This was the best ball I’d seen from them all tournament. Crouch, where was this the whole time? The big guy was rushing into the box, challenging for balls, dropping F-bombs, and generally making a one-man nuisance of himself for the last 40 minutes or so. Too little, too late. C’est la vie.

And with that, I look forward to France handing another under-achieving team, Brazil, an early exit as well. After that, we’re headed up to Austin to buy some coffee and see our friends Farid Matuk and Scott Pierce read for Effing and Skanky Possum at 12th St. Books… Here’s a quick remark from the WC Crew:

From Dan Greenspan:

I guess it’s back to the Viking occupation for the Berzerker (Wayne Rooney) and his gang of merry loons. Not a day goes by when I don’t have the urge to crush a portuguese man’s balls myself, but self-control is what keeps us Americans out of costly foreign entanglements. I saw things about the way that you did, David. I do feel bad for England. They played hard and down. But Portugal was still reeling from the effects of shitbomb officiating in their previous match, so much credit is due on both sides. It was an interesting one to watch, though it leaves me without a team to root for. I guess I’ll have to play the DNA card and throw my support to France… at least for the next 3 hours before the stage is set for the most predictible semi-final imaginable.
Jogo feio você bastardos franceses!!!!

  1. The Portugese played harder than the Brits; they wanted it more: they took twice as many shots, had far less yellow cards, and their goalie is an amazingly gifted athlete. It seemed like the Portugese team possessed the ball 90% of the time. I think maybe the Brits didn’t think they would have to play very hard to beat them: they seemed unmotivated and unfocused when the ball was near the Portugese goal. Rooney looks and acts like a thugish soccer hooligan and got what he deserved. I don’t know what Beckham’s problem was. He’s a quitter–the commentators said he always bows out of important matches because of injuries. He should see a psychiatrist and stop letting his teams down. I like the Portugese dramatics. Well played. Now, let’s see Brazil win this afternoon. BTW, what do you have against the Latin teams? Cultural bias, maybe?

  2. Yes, Ricardo had England’s number. Yes, Portugal kept the ball, but that and 50 cents will get you a bag of peanuts if you don’t score, which they really never came close to doing in regulation or overtime. Tina’s dad has watched Rooney a lot and thinks he’s a dirty player and deserved the red, but I still think they’ve been far too quick to show it thru the whole tourney given the consequences. Especially since the ref apparently wasn’t going to toss him at first, why let Ronaldo wheedle it out of you? Good example just now in the Brazil match. Guy gets taken down hard just outside the box, could’ve tossed him, instead just gave yellow. I agree with that. As for Beckham, I’m not defending him. Unless his leg was about to fall off he should’ve stayed in there. I have nothing against the Latins, I just think Portugal has been whiney and Brazil has not played even remotely close to the hype. I was actually rooting for Argentina if they were playing anyone but Germany…

  3. [...] Needless to say I’m annoyed with FIFA and the plethora of red and yellow cards, dubiously culminating in their shameful decision to suspend Torsten Frings for a love-swipe after the Argentina quarterfinal. Overall, the reffing has been — I was going to type “fair” — let’s just say it hasn’t changed the outcome of any of the games from the quarterfinals on (with the possible exception of the above-mentioned, but that was FIFA, not an individual ref). Prior to that I can think of no less than three matches that I saw that were hugely altered by outright gaffes or over-reactions: Italy-U.S. (no need to say more); Italy-Australia (total dive for the PK); and of course the Dutch-Portugal bloodbath. Then there was the Rooney incident and of course, the double-yellow/no red in Croatia-Australia, which I didn’t see. (All of which led one blogger to ask, “which was the worst refereed game you saw?” Frankly, I can’t decide.) I’m not even counting U.S-Ghana here, which feels like small potatoes compared to some of these. [...]
