The England goal that the ref missed pretty much defines what is wrong with FIFA at this level. There is no viable excuse for excluding replay from this level of competition. You could see the England side totally deflated after that goal. Maybe Germany played a better match, but who knows what would have happened if they went into half-time tied 2-2. My issue with leaving out replay at this level is that it opens a gigantic door for corruption, and given the money and national prestige involved, one would think corruption is inevitable. So instead of a clean, fair game, we see the sporting equivalent of the United Nations. Sad, really. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:322039 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
