...Irwin yelling: 'Just look at those beauties! Crikey! With those barbs a stingray can kill a horse!'" Greer bravely sets her imaginary Irwin straight: "Yes Steve, but a stingray doesn't want to kill a horse. It eats crustaceans, for God's sake."

It is unfortunate that decisions by the referees were sometimes questionable, and obviously so, since television viewers could see what really happened through slow-motion replays. FIFA's refusal to introduce modern technology for referees to consult on difficult calls is a great loss for the fans and athletes.
