[QUOTE="nam97, post: 154636"] ROTFLMFAO. f***ing rich coming from a yank. [/b][/quote] Such a well thought out response, exactly the sort I would expect from a Kiwi FYI, the French just lost, at home with probably their best world cup team ever (this was probably their best chance to win it all) . Let's compare the reactions of these ousted squads(the french and abs) in the days to come. I'm sure if we look hard enough we can find a couple of calls or no calls Kaplan did or didn't make, which of course cost the French their entire world cup. I doubt that we will see such great hatred of Kaplan. On another note. We trusted our World Cup to Peter Thorburn, a kiwi, and paid him a very handsome salary which many people think was too high, but the decision was made to give him such a high salary to ensure that he would give us his devoted attention....Just one week after the USA ended their world cup matches, winning none, instead of communicating with the USA staff and addressing the positives, negatives, what the USA could do better in future world cups,etc etc. He writes an article blasting Referee Wayne Barnes for his display in the New Zealand v. France game. [/b][/quote] What response were you expecting on the basis of your well thought out comment on saying the RWC shouldn't be in NZ based on the fact refs won't be safe?
