[QUOTE="tincho73, post: 455368, member: 55530"] Please correct me if i´m wrong in some part: Being N. Owens the referee for this match, and paying attention to what happend whit the Samoa-SA match and all that have been said , do you think that : a- He will keep he´s line of judging things, no matter what it looks like ( favouring one team or the other) b- In controversial situations, or hard to judge plays he will favour Argentina , to "show that smaller teams are treated equally to bigger " and try to erase he´s performance in the previous match ( and i´m not saying he favoured SA, I just saw some replays and read some stuff about this question , but who knows what is on Owens mind or all that have been said will affect him) c- Again In controversial situations, or hard to judge plays he will favour AB , just because AB are No. 1 and so they are the ones doing the things in the rigth way and Argentina sholud be the infractors ? What I believe? - None of the 3 above! I think referees are doing a Great WC , with some mistakes, of course , they´re human , but in the case of Mr. Owens, after the red card to samoan player , the correct thing to do was to give yellow car to Sa player, instead of trying later to balance things whit the yellow card to J. Smith ( it doesn´t seem to me that it was an intentional knock on , but more of an out of timing reaction ). Martin [/QUOTE]
