Okay, it’s time for a refereeing discussion. We all saw the three biggest World Cup blunders this year, the horrible “mystery foul” in the USA/Slovenia match and the Frank Lampard “goal that wasn’t” in the England/Germany match. There was also an amazingly vicious Nigel De Jong chest kick in the final that could have killed [...]

Many club teams could claim to have produced the stars of the World Cup.
