For this guy to still be there shows FIFA's spineless attitude.

Webb has shown himself to be crap, he refereed the game like it was EPL, and everyone knows how good the English are on the international stage.

Shit they even believed they could win the WC this year - pfft!!

"That was not the case when Xavi had his heels clipped by Heitinga during a melee in the box - a difficult one to call but a penalty nevertheless. However, Webb was not having it.

Robben also felt he was being fouled by Puyol when he ran through on goal and protested so much he too went in the book."


So for Spain, a lesser challenge on Xavi is "a penalty nevertheless", but with the Dutch, a last man cynical tackle on Robben isn't a second yellow and a free kcik on the box?

Really, that game should have ended with Van Bommel, De Jong and Puyol all off.

If it had not been a final the Dutch would've had two players sent off in the first half.
Compare Nigel De Jong's tackle on Xavi Alonso and Mark van Bommel's tackle in Iniesta to the tackle Tim Cahill got sent off for.
Both were far worse yet both players remained on the pitch.
Players from both teams were guilty of milking free kicks with annoying dives but those two challenges required no enhancement.
Spain tried to play football and the Dutch merely tried to stop them from doing so.
The Dutch almost scored on the counter attack when Robben was one-on-one with Casillas. If he had scored and they had then defended for the remainder of the game and won what a terrible endoresment for the World Cup that would've been.

lost holland the game by giving a goal kick when it took 2 touchers by the spanish players before it went out, spain go up the other end and score,

Hmmmm.SHould have been more reds.

Back into your troll hole redcup.

It looks like no one is biting
