BOTH teams played dirty as there was so much at stake.
The Dutch could not score on Portugal, even when the Portugal team was down by 2 men! |
Holland never had a two man advantage. A Dutch player was sent off early in the second half which evened the sides. Then a second Portuguese player was sent off and Holland finished the game with a one-man advantage.
I thought the physical play was pretty evenly divided between the two teams. Lots of cleats in the thighs all around. I thought Holland had a decided territorial edge but just couldn't pull the trigger.
Oh, and that Russian referee; the worst I have ever seen. He completely lost control. |
You're right about the two-man advantage, Charlie.
ALso, the Refs throughout the entire Series have been questionable!

The Australians lost 1-0 in extra time. A completely undeserved penalty (if you ask me)! That was a dive, not a foul! The Italians should have been given a yellow card for that, and should not have been rewarded with a penalty.
What's wrong with the referees at this tournament? Have they left their common sense at home????!!!

Here is a post i came acros in one of my soccer forums......This post is accurate and on the money IMO!!
| Quote: | As a long sufering world cup fan, last night was the final straw and epitomized the malaise that is running deep in this beautiful game. Really, how many more world cups must be subjected to blatant corruption and interfering?
It seems that FIFA have yet again set the wheels in motion for their influence to decide the ultimate winners of this once great tournament.
A great English fan I am, but a proud supporter would I not be if England win this year. Fifa have decided; a mediocre England team will win it.
Let's look at last night: Unclear as to who might become England's next opponents the refree decides to take action and tears strips off both sides to weaken them as much as possible for the next round against England.
The world needs to open its eyes and realize that we have lost our beautiul tournament.
Let's look at some hitorical evidence of Fifa interference: Maradona was cheated in 1994 for speaking out against FIFA, Ronaldo the same in 1998 and even this year. In 2002 Italy were robbed again and Korea made it to the semi to promote football in their potentially very rich market.
The stage is set yet again, for a FIFA-chosen winner to emerge. England will not have to rely on magic to win, because they have Fifa on their side. Why not just present the cup already to England so that the rest of us who care about the game can watch great football to see who "wins" as runners up?
I am an England fan, but if we are to win the world cup, let's win it fairly and let's not ruin the greatest game in the world.
Please sit up and listen. Please take note; this tournament is not what we believe it to be. |

Now I'll have to change my avatar again! Haven't made up my mind yet which team I'll support now.
 I have to find me an other hot player. Until then I'll stick to my mate John.
