Best Soccer Football Players so far World Cup 2010

Maradona believes the officiating in South Africa is poor, and referees should be doing more to protect fair players.

He was upset that South Korea went unpunished for a series of fouls during their defeat by Argentina.

Maradona said: “We all want fair play. I understand that the referee may make a mistake, but when Javier Mascherano, for instance, gets a yellow card and the Korean player kicks out and gets nothing, no card, then sometimes as a coach you have doubts,”

“This is football and not kung-fu fighting.”

Swiss midfielder Valon Behrami was sent off in the 31st minute for violent conduct, a very questionable call that  helped Chile to take sole lead of their group.

“Vidal fell down with a lot of drama, it was quite a performance,” Switzerland coach Ottmar Hitzfeld said after the ill-tempered match full of tough tackles, free kicks and colourful Chilean dives.

“It clearly wasn’t a red card it wasn’t even a yellow card. It was unfair of Vidal to roll around on the floor and simply ask for a red card.”

Behrami said he was disappointed by the referee’s decision who he said mistook a brilliant acting performance for a foul.

“Soccer is a physical game but what happened there today was nothing of the sort. I was simply defending, and lost against great acting,” he said.

Graeme McDowell  won the U.S Open in 2010  and the only citizen of Europe  in the last 40 years to win this title.

McDowell, 30, came from three shots behind overnight as third-round leader Dustin Johnson imploded early on.

England’s Tony Jacklin was the last European winner at Hazeltine in 1970.

“It’s an absolute dream come true, I’ve dreamed about this all my life,” said McDowell, who won his fifth European Tour title in Wales two weeks ago.

Instead of focusing on his accomplishments, many are searching for pictures of his sexy girlfriend. Incredible!!!

Americans rally from two goals down against Slovenia, but should have won the game.

Koman Coulibaly who was refereeing his first World Cup match, called ‘foul’ on Maurice Edu who had scored a goal in the last minutes of the match which would have given the Americans a 3-2 lead.
Some are saying that America got robbed and that Koman Coulibaly should be fired immediately.

“I don’t know how they stole that last goal from us,” a clearly heated Donovan said as he left the field. “I’m not sure what the call was. He [Coulibaly] wouldn’t tell us.”

Later, Donovan, who launched the comeback with a blistering goal of his own three minutes into the second half, had calmed down a bit but was still bemused by the call.

“I’m assuming it was a foul somewhere,” he said. “Obviously, it couldn’t have been offside. We asked the ref many times who it was on or what the foul was and he wouldn’t or couldn’t explain it.

“I don’t know what to think of the call because I didn’t see any foul anywhere. I just saw a normal free kick and a goal.”

Had the goal been allowed and had the U.S. held on to the lead, it would have earned three points and would have been virtually assured of a place in the next round.
