The assistant referee stole my points

[Serb]

If not his dumb decision we could saw an enteirly different game. Despite the final score that was a very close game and this f*cker just ruined it. At least twice.

[Kitschum]

I'm glad I know better than to bet real money on the world cup (also because I suck but that's beside the point)
