What was wrong with the referee? Have I watch a different game? Dont complain about the ref, he was good.. Only he had to give more yellow cards to Brazil..
All goals, offside's was regulatory, you cant say that about Rosetti and Larrionda !!
Seriously. Every time a Brazilian player got a touch, there was immediately a shove. To the Netherlands' credit, Brazil did collapse like a house of cards after the Dutch got the equalizer, but I can't root for a team that is going to resort to thuggery and bringing a "whatever I can get away with" mentality to the game.
And I totally disagree with the fact that the referee was bad! The referee was good! Felipe Melo deserved the red card, Brasil where lucky that they dont get many yellow cards, they deserved it. You know what is a sad day of soccer!? The referee at England - Germany.. C'mon Netherlands deserved the win (in the second half), first half was bad, but lucky enough they showed resilience!!!!!
I don't say that the Netherlands did'nt deserve to win, but the ref was inconsistent. He destroyed the game by picking on smal this and ignoring more seriously things. The match lost the rythm
The ref was really in the right to give that red, Melo was being extremely violent
It was a great game, Netherlands really played amazingly but Brazil couldn't live up to their usual standards
Netherlands played a horribly cheap game. I expected much more from them, watching dive after dive it was quite embarrassing seeing them celebrate. Fifa needs to consider replays because the Netherlands sure put on a show for the referee.
if you say we dive, the Brazilian also dive too, and you know what, the Brazilian had always been known as fair play, look at them today, the worse ever and I thought they're not Brazilian, playing so aggressively when they loose, look at Robinho, Melo, and even Kaka, guess Brazil players is also a bad looser, and here I thought the Argentinean were the bad looser lol :P
Brazil dominated the first half. Holland dominated the second half. Holland was more effective and won. Can't take it? Then I suggest you stop watching football and focus on cricket :D
oh what with the ref, mind tell me what you think the ref did wrong? Btw Felipe Melo deserved a red, and Don't say we got better treatment. This year official have been the worse I have ever seen, especially the mexico, Argentina and Germany match too, there have been too many unnecessary cards handed out
Shocking!! Worst ref I've seen so far in the wc. That does'nt mean the netherlands did'nt deserve to win.
Totally agree! He must be put on the first plane home to Japan.
Sad day for soccer, but this means a easier way for la furia roja;-)
Awfull refering.
I'm............speechless
