Weak in what way? Giving too many fouls or not enough?

Yeah well, the refereeing in the PL is an utter fucking disgrace.Disgraceful refereeing? The lucky fucker wouldn’t have been given a sniff of a free kick in the prem for half those ‘fouls’
If it was disgraceful it was because he fell for it every time.

Cheers Jim.I like a guy with a sense of humour. You can stay!
It'll all depend on the knockout stages and if it's geared towards a 2002 South Korea-esque fix at this rate.Not seen a team yet that looks like they will power through the tournament and win it.

Brazil's midfield is bang average.
Incidently Switzerland are currently ranked 6th in the world!

If I remember correctly it is exactly that type of incident which premier league refs were told to crack down on. Obviously FIFA see it different.
I dunno we see it in the midfield leaning in, pulling of the arms or jostling for position but the ref doesn't blow up. Now we have to have a penalty any contact happens. We are going down a slippery slope.
Have not seen the game, will watch reording later. But, the result means that the WC has got off to a great start. Everybody is a neutral for most games, so you want great footy and surprises, with the underdog holding or even beating the big boys. Mind you we dont want any surprises next week.
He should have shown a card much earlier and if Neymar played up a foul after, he should have gotten a yellow card, too.Weak in what way? Giving too many fouls or not enough?
The Swiss have one game plan, and as I said, it's Pulis' preferred game except they're far too talented to need to rely on that, but as long as you have idiots like this referee that thinks the only way a "small" team like Switzerland can compete is to allow that kind of play, this is what we'll get. The saddest part is that this does the Swiss no favors. They'll never become a better team if they don't play and rely on kicking players.
