Most of those fouls were harmless...most refs would've just given the freekick. That's why he lost control of the game. Then again, I think it was FIFA's agenda to get as many as those players carded. He broke the record with 4 reds and 15 yellows.
Yes, my words are harsh, but true. It's all a business and some teams are favoured over others. And if you believe football is completely fair, then you live in cuckoo land. Proof of corruption has been determined before and there's a lot which hasn't come out yet.
I love footy...but not when it's being manipulated by fat cat businessmen.
