He's right. You're wrong.

Accept dem facts, Pinocchi-mousse
 
Like all the groups are competitive up to the final day and we've had a whole bunch of amazing, high scoring games with a few big shocks thrown in.

What more do you want?
Usually with worldcups we all know who will come out of the groups (except for maybe 1 'group of death) and its a borefest until it gets to the last 16. This time it has been much better in that regard. All the smaller teams seem to be more competitive putting in very decent displays.

Should be zero complaints.
 
If it's not in the rules that means it's subjective and down to them - that doesn't mean they're wrong, you should learn the difference.
Fair, but if 99% of refs interpret the subjective decision one way and the other 1% another way, he’s wrong. Refereeing is about creating fairness and consistency for the players… it’s not a competition to see who can ref the best.

If refereeing is about creating consistency and fairness then why would it be fair on the Ghana players if he decided to add on more time which had already been allotted?
 
We've been over this...

The board showed 10, they ended up playing 11.
It's worth remembering that what they show on the board is the "minimum" stoppage time allowed for.

Even if it was a solid 10 mins, as the others have said, a minute of rolling around plus a substitution (which I believe is a minimum of 30 seconds allowable), that means that there was still around 30 seconds available, more than enough time to allow the corner to be taken, see how the play develops, then blow if nothing comes of it.

Taylor was absolutely in the wrong here, the corner should have been allowed.

Nonsense..Remember what referee clive thomas did ? He let brazil take the corner and blew for full time while the ball was in the air .

......And yet people are still writing articles about said controversy decades later.
