Anybody getting tired of the ref's blowing their whistle too many times and occasionally when the team with the advantage has the ball? Are they like candidates for some bonus for blowing so often? Geez.

And for now the two top teams with the best Oscar performances in diving go to Argentina and Portugal. And the poor sods who got the yellow cards after at times NOT even touching the "victims" must feel sooooo robbed... :mad:
 
I say they should retro-actively enforce a 2 match ban on players who fake it from camera evidence.

Anyone remember the antics of Mexico from four years back?
 
Not just the dives, but the referees blowing their whistle for every little thing is really getting to me. It's becoming very frustrating to watch, where there's a break in play every 30 seconds. Not sure when last I saw advantage being played.

Yes it seems as though the whole advantage rule has been forgotten :(
 
A blatant wrestling-style spear on a Ghana striker in the penalty area was ignored by the referee! :(
