that is simply part of the game, and the fact that there was only 1 really bad game for the officials is truely great.
look to the asian cup that is going on right now in indonesia, in the quarterfinals, uzebekestan was robbed of a goal where a player was actually onside by several feet but called offside well after the play had developed. that awful and completely incorrect call cost them the game and forced them from the tournament. but unlike the chileans, the went off with their heads held high and took the loss rather than going crazy. afterwords, their coach said that everybody makes mistakes and that today just wasn't their day, refusing to blame the officials. all this despite the fact that they played superb fotball and deserved the win over saudi arabia. what class, perhaps the chilean football federation should look into hiring this guy to teach their players and officials how to act in a manner befitting that of footballers representing their nation abroad.
