Poor PORTUGAL has always been unlucky since 2004 when they lost in their HOME COUNTRY to a cheap totally defensive GREEK SIDE!! since then i have always enjoyed their fighting spirit against the ENGLISH in worlcup 2006 & the sad heart breaking loss in the semi finals in 2006 to ZIZO and Co.

Blundering Refs Cut From World Cup List
JOHANNESBURG (AP): Uruguay’s Jorge Larrionda and Italy’s Roberto Rosetti, whose blunders have prompted FIFA to rethink using video technology, won’t play any further part in the World Cup.
They were left off the list of 19 referees announced by FIFA Tuesday to take part in the rest of the competition although football’s world governing body gave no explanation.
Larrionda and his linesman failed to see an England shot clearly cross the line in a 4-1 loss to Germany in a second round game on Sunday.
Frank Lampard’s shot hit the bar and bounced down behind the line before spinning back into play. It would have made the score 2-2.
Rosetti wrongly awarded a goal to Argentina’s Carlos Tevez against Mexico when he took Lionel’s Messi’s pass in a clearly offside position. It was Argentina’s first in a 3-1 victory which put the team into the last eight.
The mistakes prompted FIFA president Sepp Blatter to announce that he had apologized to England and Mexico after the errors helped eliminate their teams from the World Cup.
“Naturally, we deplore when you see the evidence of referees’ mistakes,” said Blatter, adding it would be “a nonsense” for FIFA not to look again at goal-line technology with its rule-making panel.
“After having witnessed such a situation,” Blatter said, “we have to open again this file, definitely. Naturally, we will take on board again the discussion about technology. Something has to be changed.”
Two more left out for the remainder of the competition were Koman Coulibaly of Mali, who disallowed a third United States goal in a 2-2 draw with Slovenia, and French ref Stephane Lannoy who harshly sent off Brazil’s Kaka for a second yellow after Ivory Coast’s Kader Keita ran into him while going for the ball.
Those left on the list include some from countries no longer involved in the competition.
England’s Howard Webb has become one of the favorites to referee the final and so has Frank De Bleekere of Belgium, which didn’t qualify.
The amended list includes six from Europe, four from South America, three from Asia, three from North, Central America and the Caribbean (CONCACAF), two from Africa and one from Oceania.
From these, FIFA will select the officials for the last eight games from the quarterfinals onwards.
 
Spains winning goal, ones again, was an offside one that shouldn't have counted.. Ref are really pathetic this tournament.
 
PARIS (AFP) - When it comes to the World Cup Jabulani football, perfect may not be good enough, according to scientists who have analysed the controversial ball.
Experts puzzling over its allegedly erratic flight—which has unnerved more than one goalkeeper in South Africa—have concluded that the Jabulani may simply be too round to fly straight.
Since being chosen for the World Cup, the Adidas-made ball has come in for a serious drubbing.
Players complaint Addidas footballs jabulani and unsatisfied with these cheap unreliable footballs, this is what happens when the world class football makers and not given contract, instead they make knock-off product to take over full contract.
Spain's Iker Casillas has dissed it as "rotten," while Italy's top goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon tagged it as "unpredictable."
Julio Cesar of Brazil suggested he could do better buying a ball in a supermarket.
Part of the problem may be that "the stitches of the Jabulani are internal, so the ball resembles a perfect sphere," said Eric Berton, deputy director of the Institute of the Science of Movement in Marseille, France.
