So what's the biggest World Cup "issue" so far? Vuvuzelas, the refereeing, or the amount of 'good team' upsets (not meant as a spoiler)?

The upsets make it interesting to me. The ref issue is bigger than the annoying noise issue. -- nm - ty97 Jun 21, 08:43
the refs have been awful, but it's really nothing new. They've always sucked. The flopping has been ridiculous too. -- nm - CQ Jun 21, 08:43 1
- the flops have been like that forever, though. -- nm - JaxSean Jun 21, 08:45
I'd hope to think the referee situation. - Will Hunting Jun 21, 08:33 4
- As a casual (USA) observer, the "refs don't have to file a report or even say what the foul was" was...a big turn off. - JaxSean Jun 21, 08:39 3
  - referee decisins on goals are final and can't be appealed -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jun 21, 08:54
  - Yep, no accountability is a big issue. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 21, 08:46
  - yup, and soccer has more stories of corrupt refs than basketball ever dreamed of having -- nm - Beaker Jun 21, 08:41
The refs. Inconsistent, and getting things wrong. -- nm - mobile mafic Jun 21, 08:28
