Justice in Football

We all already know that Spain is the champion of World Cup 2010. But what I wanna emphasize here is not how Spain could become a champion or failure of my favourite team, Brazil in the first World Cup held in Africa.

I just wanna emphasize some Justice in football.

First, let's begin with Slovenia, which has seen USA's clear goal disallowed by the referee, and the match ended with 2-2, and Slovenia got advantage from referee's bad decision. They tragically fail to qualify from Group C, following to 0-1 lost from England and USA's 1-0 win against Algeria.

Next team is Serbia, who saw Miroslav Klose sent off after slightly obstructed Serbian player. Serbia won 1-0 against Germany. But they failed in Group Stage as Australia beat them 2-1 while Germany beat Ghana 1-0, which gave Germany and Ghana ticket to the next round.

Brazil also got advantage from the referee when Luis Fabiano controlled with his hand before scoring to Boubacar Barry's goal. In that match, Brazil win 3-1, which resulting them to go to next round. In round of 16, they still won against Chile 3-0. But in the quarterfinal, Netherlands defeated them 2-1, sending them home.

Don't forget Germany who saved by the referee which disallowed Lampard's goal, in the last 16 match against England, the scoreline when that accident happen is 2-1 for German's lead, but if England had scored, who knew the momentum will change into Capello's side. Argentina has also got advantage from the referee when Carlos Tevez's offside goal is counted, when Mexico had more chances to score. Mexico lost concentration, and lost 1-3 in the end. When Germany and Argentina meet, it's 'advantaged' vs 'advantaged', so it's no problem which teams won, which in the end Germany thrashed Argentina four goals without any reply! But in semifinal, Germany outclassed by 'tiki-taka' performed by Spain, 0-1.

Paraguay, which played hardly in Second Round match against Japan, could easily conceded a penalty, after one of their defender fouled Japan's player, but they eventually won 5-3 over penalty shootout. In quarterfinal, they were defeated by Spain, from David Villa's only goal.

Uruguay, which dramatically win against Ghana, with 'Hand of Evil' Luis Suarez saved Ghana's 99,9% chance of scoring goal with his hand. They win 4-2 in a penalty shootout, after Asamoah Gyan's penalty hit the crossbar. in the end got two consecutive 2-3 lost - against Netherlands and Germany, and ended in fourth place. They were lucky when Ghana failed to score from the spot. But they were unlucky when they saw Netherlands offside goal is counted, and in the next match against Germany, Forlan's freekick only hit the post.

Netherlands, the finalist, got an offside goal counted against Spain, lost 0-1 over an extra time.

Lastly, France which qualified from Henry's two times handball, followed by Gallas' goal to beat Ireland 2-1 in aggregate, was destroyed in South Africa, with one draw and two lost, with only one goal scored. The team squad themselves even had a bad disharmony with each other, with Nicolas Anelka argued with Raymond Domenech and sent home by the France Football Federation, followed by Patrice Evra's captaincy continued in training boycott, France is completely destroyed in South Africa, mainly by themselves.

Well, teams might had got advantage(s) - unfairly - by the referee, or maybe got a high luck in one match; in one match would lost in next games, could be said it's the price they sacrifice to get the 'advantage', even if they never wished for get it. That's Justice in Football, which happens in this World Cup.

I write this without any disrespect any teams, I know most of teams playing in World Cup have already fighting at their best in South Africa.
