Dear FIFA World Cup officials,
Please feel free to instruct the hapless men in the "middle" to keep the yellow and red card in their pocket unless someone has lost a limb. This cup has been marred by incompetent referees taking it upon themselves to change the outcome of games. Let the players play. If anything, start handing out cards for excessive "simulation".
I know I'll sound like an old codger with this one, but for cripes sake, can you PLEASE tuck your shirts in? If the hoodlums in the NBA can keep their shirts tucked in, I think the players in the world cup can as well.
That being said ... I think we have been treated to some HUGE moments so far. Shaka Hislop comes to mind. Ghana exposing the Czech's as old and slow. USA exposing themselves as unable to overcome the bad luck that was somehow laid upon them. Amazing goals from all over the pitch.
Thank you to Germany for being a good host so far.
I'm sure we have great things to come, and I sincerely hope that we don't have to remember this cup as the one that the referees ruined.

My own sounding board. I will be posting random thoughts every so often. Some with be coherent and well thought out while others might make little or no sense at all. It's a public diary so to speak.
