So… how about those Syrian (silly ‘un) officials in the Uzbek – Japan game, eh? By the time Hasebe flicked an elbow at a defender in frustration and got a deserved red card, the Japanese had put up with so much cr@p… no excuse for Hasebe, but, let’s pray to the gods of FIFA that we never see THIS bunch of “officials” again – EVER!And, by the way… if you wondered what Okada got a red card for – it was for standing on the edge of his technical area and trying to instruct his players what to do, and how to cover the loss if Hasebe! The referee got the wrong end of that stick, for sure. Let’s hope the AFC/FIFA or whoever is in charge give Mr. Okada a break!
