The Extra Player For Greece
The tragedy was quite simply that the team was given numerous unwarranted free kicks and outrageous help by a referee who must surely have Greek relatives. It was simply farcical to see a referee with so much blatant bias in his handling of the game. He sent off a Greek player who'd 'earned' a second yellow card, and from that point onwards did his best to assist, making up the number of Greek players on the field!
Referee Joel Aguilar had an appalling game, and should have sent himself off for cuntish behaviour. The Greeks were guilty of horrendous time wasting, but the impotent referee did absolutely nothing to stop the shenanigans. I was expecting about eight or nine minutes of extra time, but only four were signalled and played. The Japanese players showed discipline in not retaliating to numerous fouls by Greece, and not lynching the fucker with the whistle who was intent on giving anything he could Greece's way.
Sadly for spectators, the performance by Japan was poor, and despite having 74% possession and an extra man for much of the game, the quality of their play was weaker than Shandy Bass. Thus, it was painful to watch the pointless passages of play, which generally culminated in ineffectiveness and wastefulness by Japan, or a Greek player on the ground, wincing and rolling about, to waste time. The cynicism with which Greece played makes any neutral observer hope that Greece gets no further in this competition. The boos around the stadium at the end of the match were proof enough of a crap game.
