[QUOTE="Will, post: 153617"] NZ fans should stop going on about the referee. It gets boring very quickly. One forward pass does not make or break an entire tournament. NZ had most of the possession and did very little with it. Fact. France meanwhile were making tackles all over the park and running their little hearts out. Maybe that's what it all boils down to. A genuine lack of heart.* But it's easier to complain about the ref. It means you don't have to look too close to home for the answer. However we know better. We know that the NZ fans are going to be carrying this around with them on their shoulders for the next four years, and again should they fail to win the tournament again it will be someone else's fault. NZ fans need to get a grip of themselves. Their team has no divine right to win any tournament just because they show up and dance around and make faces at the beginning of every match. Being "the best team in the world" counts for nothing if you can't turn possession into points. And don't even get me started on the yellow card. It was completely deserved. *I say this fully in the knowledge that I am a supporter of a nation/team with bags of heart. Just lacking in the ability at the moment to really make any real use of it..... [/QUOTE]
