only African countries attended this unnecessary class because fifa is complaining that Africans are too physical when it comes to tournament like this and they want to protect the so call world class players.so they want to talk African teams in such a way that when you touch Ronaldo and the rest there will be foul no matter what the touch may be.Once again they are trying to find a way to scare the African teams to be slow.They should not listen to them in anyway.

When others are busy fine tuning their tactics and strategies we are being schooled by referees on the rules of the game at this hour. Time wasting and also why is this Coach always slow in preparing his teams? He called them up late, had the fewest friendlies, experimenting even at this point and waiting till Friday before first work out on Brazillian soil. Why this lethargy and lay back approach? I sincerely hope the players are fit and because we have to send a strong signal in the first match against the US who are just being boastful and on and on with their empty talk and bravado

Senseless planning.
You could cut travel time by half if you had planned your trip from Miami, where you played South Korea, straight to Brazil.

Don't mind gfa. They are not serious. Gh should have played at least 2 lower.division teams in brasil as pert of their prep. They should have been in brasil at least 10days before the start of the tournament. Failing to plan is planning to.fail. The white ppl have already polluted the air and water in natal. This will affect the players and make them prone to.committing unnecessary fouls. Don't trust Fifa! Do you know why the crime rate in low income neighborhoods in Western nations is so high? Becos the water has been purposely polluted with lead and manganese. Drink this and it affects ur brain to commit crime. Foods with soy lecithin, cancer in processed foods like sausages, hotdogs etc turn male hormones into female ones and vice versa. These planes u see in the sky with those whitish smoke trails. Are not for fun. They spread pollutants into the air that increase diseases. Don't trust Fifa. Why didn't they sponsor such programs way before the wcup, but wait till the last minute?

COACH, you and your technical team and the players need to have a very lengthy discussion or talk and think about the mind behind why FIFA gave the team the refereeing seminar.
All the non-call fouls in the European leagues will be call for a foul if an African player commits that same foul in the games.
So just be smart, wise, intelligent, patience, cohesive on the defense, skillful, avoid mistakes and be quick on the offense.
Never be angry at all cause!

What a waste of time! Are we that inferior? Would they ask The English, the Italian, the Dutch and the Spanish delegation to attend a seminar on refereeing? Why didn't they send one person if it was mandatory?

Referee FAVORED Brazil.
1st Croatian goal:
Clean.
Pressure too much for Brazilian defender to avoid own goal.
1st Brazilian goal:
Clean.
Long shot by Neymar too wide for Croatian keeper's full-length dive.
2nd Brazilian goal:
No penalty. Referee calls penalty just because Brazilian falls in box. He is even barely touched before he falls.
2nd Croatian "goal":
Croatian attacker jumps and heads ball away cleanly from Brazilian goalkeeper to his fellow attacker.
The latter scores. Referee disallows goal and calls a foul against Croatia.
3rd Brazilian goal:
Referee ignores clear fouling of a Croatian in midfield and allows Brazilian attacker to score.
Referee started well and then decided to help Brazil.
They don't deserve this "win".
Because of this, they will never touch the World Cup in 2014.
Asshole ref.

The African game for the most part is quite physical and the defenders play it rough. Even when they go.for clean balls, the intention and force after the fact is crushing and causes these foreign re fs to claim fouls. It is the responsibility of the gfa to make these changes in the leagues thru seminars like these, dialogues with the refs etc. But they don't so players in gh for instance think it's acceptable. I watched brasil league n the players don't tackle like that. Infection the foreign game is less reliant ln physical tackles, bit precision and clean timings on the ball, with as less physicality as possible. This is what made john Mensah that much of a professional. He was strong, but he never used his strength to play the defensive position, but sheer discipline and tenacity. The only time u see a European result.to physical force will be when it's the very last option. They often get a redcsrd. But in Africa, it's part of the game...lol

Luis Suarez handball should have been four years ago should have been taken ago because it entered the net
Why was it taken as a penalty?
