It was pretty clear which way the wind was blowing when they stopped the game for 3 minutes to unsuccessfully find an offside in the first Juve goal.. This is mind-boggling, we know the ref knows there was a penalty for Juve because we saw him seeing the footage, and he elected not to give it...

That’s obviously not what he meant by that - serie A is the third big league he has played in, after PL with United and la Liga with Real. 3rd in chronological order for him, not quality. Or are people arguing serie A is not a big league?

Alfredo is actually not related to the Milan goalies! Just happens to share the same name.

If he had been treated like everyone else he wouldn't have even gotten that red card. Disgraceful comments for people that fancy themselves 'sport fans' those.

I really think it's anyone's game tonight, very hard to predict.

Italy lost against Uruguay (1-0) the US (1-0) and Russia (3-0) in the three matches they played before Euro 2012. Just saying.

This world cup is a joke. Give those refs a damn camera

Who would have thought that building a stadium for a World Cup in the middle of the Amazonian Rainforest could turn out to be a terrible idea? Guess who's never playing there? The host country. Not the best display of spirit of hospitality from Brazil. As for the game, I'm predicting a 0-0 too.

We can't condone this situation though. If matches against the host team are so clearly influenced by that fact that the opposing team has to change the way they play in fear of the ref punishing them for simply playing according to the rules, then this World Cup would be nothing but a worthless...

You draw the line where it becomes so obvious you just can't deny it. I watched the Italy and Spain matches against South Korea and I never saw anything like that, before or since. People who are claiming Man Utd has rigged the EPL in their favour and stuff like that are talking rubbish. They...

Hehe lots of these exotic refs became rich after the 2002 World Cup methinks. Byron Moreno, the ref who officiated the Italy-South Korea match, also became a successful businessman... in the drug import/export field. He was busted smuggling heroin into the US in 2010 lol Not long after being...

I don't know who might be behind it all, if it's FIFA, the Brazilian FA, their government, or some Brazilian mafia group, or if there's someone behind it all at all, but I'm sure as hell not so naive to think that a World Cup is above any suspicion of rigging. 2002 was rigged. They wanted South...

Care to elaborate?

Brazil already had a World Cup gifted to them in 2002. Cheating against Belgium, cheating against Turkey and facing the worst Germany team in ages in the final only because the refs shattered Italy's and Spain's hopes against South Korea. One fluke world cup is enough thanks. Havelange's legacy...

Never forget. We (Italy) had 5 regular goals disallowed in three straight games against Croatia, Mexico and finally South Korea. I was just kid and that literally left an everlasting scar on me, from that moment on I would never be able to look at football in the same way, to celebrate at a goal...
