義大利教練 Giovanni Trapattoni 的反應 - 足球

這又是來自 BBC NEWS,
大意是說義大利的裁判 Giovanni Trapattoni 向 FIFA 抱怨裁判,
尤其是昨天義韓之戰中 Totti 的紅牌出場與 Tommasi 被吹越位的進球,
昨天被吹掉的進球是義大利在過去三場比賽中被吹掉的第五個.

FIFA 堅持世界盃的裁判標準都很好.

無獨有偶地, 西班牙教練 Jose Antonio Camacho 對瑞典籍裁判
Anders Frisk 也有些微詞,
他認為西愛之戰在正規時間愛爾蘭判罰 12 碼之前就該結束了,
而且西班牙有數個很好的進攻機會被吹了越位.

我覺得: 義大利教練說得既自傲又悲壯:

"We go out with our heads held high, but with a lot of recriminations.
If we talk about who should have won, I'd say it should be Italy."

他簡直快氣瘋了...
還有, 這個網頁有 Totti 一副難易置信的表情的圖片.

Fifa defends referees

Fifa has jumped to the defence of its World Cup referees following bitter
complaints from Italy coach Giovanni Trapattoni.

Italy were knocked out of the tournament by South Korea on Tuesday courtesy
of a golden goal by Ahn Jung-Hwan.

Trapattoni was incensed by decisions that saw Francesco Totti sent off in
extra-time and a goal by Damiano Tommasi controversially ruled out for
offside.

It was the fifth time in Italy's last three matches that they had had a
goal ruled out.

But Fifa insisted the overall standard of refereeing during the World Cup
had been good.

"I have said on many occasions that referees are subject to making errors
like coaches, players and journalists," said communications director Keith
Cooper.

"It is always going to happen. The inaccuracies have been kept to a minimum."



"You can't play a World Cup with incompetent linesmen"
--Italy coach Giovanni Trapattoni



Italy had refereeing decisions go against them in their final two group
games as well.

Trapattoni's men had two seemingly legitimate goals disallowed in their
2-1 loss to Croatia in the group stages.

Another two goals were ruled out in the following match against Mexico,
leaving Trapattoni seething.

"It was obvious from the start which way the wind was blowing," he said
following Italy's second-round exit.

"The World Cup started like this for us and kept on in the same direction.

"Inability and low attention in the end caused a disaster like this.

"You can't play a World Cup with incompetent linesmen. I've never experienced
such a negative moment in my career.

"We go out with our heads held high, but with a lot of recriminations. If
we talk about who should have won, I'd say it should be Italy."

Italy striker Alessandro del Piero added: "There have been many mistakes,
too many - it hurts a lot."

Italy are not the only teamto believe they have suffered from poor refereeing.

Spain coach Jose Antonio Camacho had few kind words to say about Swedish
referee Anders Frisk after his side's 3-2 penalty shoot-out win over Ireland
on Sunday.

The sides had finished extra-time level at 1-1.

But Camacho believed the match should have been settled before Ireland were
awarded a penalty in the final minute of normal time which was converted by
Robbie Keane.

"We had three or four opportunites and the referee blew for offside," said
Camacho.

"I'm not sure they were offside and I don't think the final penalty (Keane's)
was a penalty."
