Definately, pretty much all the matches have had a very poor standard of refereeing, seriously where do they find them, the dole queue?
Cant say i agree, other than unavoidable, isolated mistakes i really like refering so far. The games are run smoothly without unnecesary interruptions with ref trying to become a star.
I also like how refs don't tolerate contesting their decisions. Surrounding the ref Barca-style, BS that has plagued stadiums for last couple of years, has been mostly eliminated.
Ronaldo is having a great game.
He is absolutely murdering VDW haha, please Chelsea re-think!
Holland have been awful. Defence was the problem, but even their Attack have looked shocking...
Greeks are very traditional people. While all the other nations try to invent and/or change something over time they still trust their good old phalanx..

Dutch played three at the back... I know that they had to change something but when you have Nani and Ronaldo exploiting the flanks it was tactical suicide, that goal didn't surprise anyone I don't think.
