Was Treesman not completely wrong.

We have all heard the allegations and rumours about the corruption surrounding Sepp Blatter and FIFA. A short while back we had comments by Lord Treesman concerning allegations of potential Referee/match fixing in the world cup finals, prompting his resignation.

Now the Finals are more than half over has there been any sign of match fixing?

There have certainly been signs of "incompetent" refereeing!!

Yes. Capello was got at by the German's to throw the match yesterday. Allegedly.

England players had been drugged.

" someone " on the "old site" said he knew someone, who knew someone.. who was a ref. at the WC tournament and they (the refs.) had been " told " by FIFA , who the best teams were and how they (the refs.) should treat the " special " sides.

For my part I've seen some pretty horrific fouls go unpunished whilst one or two refs. wield the red card for relatively minor offences in comparison.

The general standard of " acting " would not impress Hollywood, though many deserve an Oscar for realism.

South Koreas win against Spain comes to mind a few years back if true david..
