text: will australia ever be assigned a decent ref by fifa? all three ref's in the australian games have been noted to have made terrible decisions, usually against australia. notably the japan goal and a those couple of deserved penalties against croatia (blatant football tackle) + 3 yellow cards incident. these incidents could have proved to be crutial although luckly for the ref's the deserving team progressed. what the deal? ! the ref's in this world cup have been horrible!
