US pressure on FIFA
Controversial referee Koman Coulibaly was left off FIFA’s list for the next batch of World Cup matches following the error that likely cost the United States a victory against Slovenia.
The referee is a human being with only two eyes and not a machine to seen everything that happens during the 90 minutes match of 22 players. The decision of the referee should be considered as final. The above incident is taking place because the decision was not in favour of US.
hooooraYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pride is root of all evil...
what a thread this is, blaming everything to the beloved yanks. yiiiihaaa!
I don't think so that this was the case... US has no influence in FIFA...
Making an effort to be stupid.. Duh...
The Yanks should have one..
This a common practice with FIFA and EUFA..
Referees are evaluated for each game. If they perform badly, then they are removed or rested for a game..
Ofcourse it is feasible that Obama threatened to authorise a rendition flight for Sepp Blatter unless this referee was removed - Isn't it ?
WK> Your first post is more than enough for reaching to that conclusion. I would appreciate if you can clarify your new comment (making effort for what?).
Veto !
you are not the only one its a long list but i really wanted to you guys to shutup in 163 days...QATAR will get inshallah FIFA world cup even if he didnt its worth of try .32 billions just to invest in train system thats somthing exciting .its time for you go to home
They could have made it to the World Cup instead of having their countrymen sit around and bitch about how countries with athletes competent enough to compete should be happy about getting screwed by worthless referees. If you are poor at your job, you get fired (not literally set on fire as is the case in some heathen nations) this guy proved himself to not be able to handle the position, he should have never been on the pitch.
Also, Dot.com, how has Afghanastan been doing in the World Cup?
cherukkan how did you reach that conclusion?
You really are making an effort today.
RUN ITS ACHMED THE DEAD TERRORIST. He's back!!!!
Y only american voice is raised..?
There are 31 more teams playing
I Keel You!!! :-D
really
Shame On US
i mean, on their team, full of losers.
Mr M., I dont think so that FIFA will penalise french refree due to the goal was scored by hand. Because US is not losing anything in this case.
This issue is raised just because the US team has lost their match. In football, it happens all the time and even in this current worldcup it is still happening because the refree cannot see everything and there is no provision to consult with 3rd umpire like in Cricket.
So, shame on US.
Damn
i miss it :P
Living in Europe, u must be loyal with US!
....and take me with you. :)
FIFA should have laughed out loud and made fun of Qatar for its world cup bid with only proposed stadiums as well.
Should have, would have, could have, but didn't.
.....and take me with you. :)
FIFA should have penalised that french referee who was in charge of the Brazil-Ivory Coast match for allowing a goal scored by handball as well!
Damn those infidel bullies....
Obviously a conspiracy
Those darn evil US infidels are behind everything!!!
Come on guys, the news is not my invention.
WK> it looks like you are so desperate to read something against US.
Bloody Americans
:P
damn americans!
go back to flashing your headlights in your white landcruiser. tired of the anti-US rhetoric from stupid people
Anti US haters now move to football!! What next the tiddlywinks championship??
He didn't perform well, what has this got to do with US. US isn't a major voice in FIFA.. Duh... How desperate are you to find something against US.
