Though FIFA admit it or not, the refereeing mistakes in this worldcup are monumental. Even deciding the outcome of the match at times. And surprisingly the mistakes are made in such conditions that may seem biased at times. The controversies with refereeing started with the qualifying rounds and (with worst misfortunes) might continue till the Great Finale.
I don't know if these controversies will lead FIFA to use technology assistance for critical decisions, specially at goal-line (which they are utterly against). Well, the FIFA is right in their reason - "the replay and use of technology to pause the game for a decision will kill the dynamic football (as in Cricket it is used extensively and doesn't matter, as that's a slow game anyway)", but it doesn't make a sense to give dozens of wrong decision (mostly crucial) and kill the game in the other way.
Let's see what more this world cup FIFA 2010 brings on.

Oh Referee
I was really sick of watching referees last match between Brazil and Ivory coast. The second goal of Brazil was clearly a result of handling the ball by Fabiano - surprisingly twice and not once. Also the red card that was given to Kaka is surely unjustified. He got a card for simply standing in the field. The referee, gave more free kicks and cards for play acting then for actual fowls. In fact for a few cases he didn't notice any actual fowl. What was most surprising is the match referee consulting the concerned player for the decision. For the handball of Fabiano, he was seemingly asking him "Did u just handle that ball"? To which surely Fabiano wouldn't reply saying "YES". What a joke. Also while giving Yellow card to Kaka, he was consulting the Ivory coast players for decision.
Already for bad refering Ireland is out of the tournament. Hope FIFA takes into note all these and does something to give us a fair match in future

Grand Departure
Yeah, That's the way to die. I'd rather if I could.
A traditional New Orleans Jazz Funeral for the late tuba player Kerwin James. He died in Oct. 2007. Alot of viewers have been asking whats the reason for rocking the casket, it's so he can dance one last time.
