Lots of people say the match of Brasil vs Ivory Coast wasn't fair, because the ref against the Ivory Coast and lots of people say FIFA against african teams. I think it's not true, remembering yesterday, Ghana got a penalty they don't deserve, and all of 4 points of Ghana coming from penalty. What do you think, Guys?

I don't think for a minute that FIFA is racist. I just think the referee for the Brasil v Ivory Coast game was inept and should never referee an international match again...and if you notice he sent Kaka (playing for Brasil of course) off for nothing, so, no, FIFA isn't racist, they just "employ" (if that's the right word) certain refs that don't know what they are doing.

Well, i'm not saying FIFA is racist, but people said that, they say FIFA cheated Cameroon out in favor of England in 1986, cheated out Nigeria in favor of Italy in 1994. I'm just quoting lol. It's the 2nd goal of Brasil, people said Fabiano was handball, and they said FIFA is taking side "against" african teams.
But i think you're right, Kaka shouldn't be red carded, and the Ivory Coast play little dirty tonight.

It will be interesting to see who gets in the Final as it's certainly wide open at the moment isn't it? Strangest World Cup I've ever seen..and there are many European teams that aren't doing so well. They're gonna have to improve for their last games in the group(s) to progress I would think.

Yeah, it's the strangest world cup i've ever seen too, like the defeat of spain, germany, the draw of england, while the defeat of france and the draw of italy is predited, at least to me. I guess we'll see, maybe the final Brasil vs Argentina. Btw, which team you support the most?

I saw the whole match and I do not think that was point. If anything I think the sending of Kaka was completely off the mark. There was so much rough tackling going on from Ivory Coast which actually the referee did not give in favor of Brazil. So if anything I believe it was the other way around!!
