The Fox Sports commentators commentating the final are so unhappy with the Iranian referee's performance tonight. They've been slamming his decisions and are now even suggesting he is biased against Australia. Here's a couple of examples so far:
Commentator 1: "Where did they find this bloke?"
Commentator 2: "I think he's from Iran."
"Yet another decision goes against the Roos (Socceroos)."
"The only person who hasn't been up for this final is the referee."
I think the suggestion they're making is that the Iranian officials are somehow getting Australia back for Ben Williams' poor performance against Iran.
I'm an Iranian-Australian but these comments have made me cheer for South Korea. It's been hard enough watching these games after Team Melli's elimination but stupid comments like this add salt to the wound.
