Well, it's all over. Costa Rica 1-0 Italy.. Almost looks like the match was fixed IMHO. Italy never looked likely to win. Had the ref not been myopic, Costa Rica would have had two penalties to add to the brilliant goal (from a perfect cross)
How can you say the game was fixed, then say Costa should have had two penalties, that's contradictory.
Yup, that's it for another 4 years at least. I'm now going to console myself by watching England "WIN THE WORLD CUP" ??? Tappy,
Not if the two teams conspired together to allow one to win. The ref, (not knowing Italy wanted Costa to win) might have missed those penalties, or given the other team the benefit of the doubt.
That's daft, it wasn't in Italy' favour allowing Costa to win, they now have to beat Uruguay to go through. They can't rely on England to beat Costa.
Personally, I think the whole World Cup is fixed.. Sepp Blatter, that pinnacle of honesty, has seen to it.
