@ Lathina, i can't believe it. Well, really admire the coach from netherlands who manage to keep his calm all along.

And I am sorry but South America or not, this shouldn't have had happened. I am not so sure and don't recall that games in Central and SouthA. were so dirty and non fairplay.

Even the thoughest team in Europe don't act like that, and for the one that for time to time try it, they are put back in place in no time.

As for the Fifa, that's all they have to say about their Referee ? Que decepcion, pffft.

Chécate esto, Julie. Oh, y adivina qué? Resulta que no van a sancionar a Figo. Buuuu!

NUREMBERG, June 25 (Reuters) - Russian referee Valentin Ivanov was given a resounding vote of no confidence by players, coaches and even FIFA president Sepp Blatter after he lost control of Portugal's 1-0 win over Netherlands on Sunday.

Ivanov produced his yellow card 16 times and his red card four times as both teams were reduced to nine men in their second round clash -- a record for any World Cup.

"There could have been a yellow card for the referee" - Blatter

This increased the number of red cards for the tournament to a record 23 just midway through the second round and five days before the quarter-finals begin on Friday.

Portugal, who had two players sent off, five cautioned and also lost winger Cristiano Ronaldo through an injury inflicted by a high tackle, meet England in Gelsenkirchen on Saturday.

"I consider that today the referee was not at the same level as the participants, the players. There could have been a yellow card for the referee," Blatter told Portugal's SIC television channel.

"This was a game of emotion, with exceptional drama in the last instant, with a deserved winner," her adde.d "It was a great show with intervention by the referee that was not consistent and (had) lack of fair play by some players."

MATCH CONTROL

Ivanov, a 45-year-old music-loving teacher, attempted to establish his control from the start when he cautioned two Dutchmen in the opening seven minutes.

But instead of gaining command of the game, he sent the contest into a spiral of chaos as Portugal took a 23rd minute lead, thanks to a well-taken goal by Maniche, and defended it with every trick in the professionals' book.

In the end, Ivanov sent off Costinha and Deco of Portugal, each for two yellow cards, and Khalid Boulahrouz and Giovanni van Bronckhorst of the Netherlands, both also for two cautions.

He also handed out yellows to Portugal's Maniche, Petit, Luis Figo, Ricardo and Nuno Valente and the Netherlands' Mark van Bommel, Wesley Sneijder and Rafael van der Vaart.

"I must say it was a pity that there was no football in the second half," said Dutch coach Marco van Basten.

"The referee made a mess of it and Portugal used all their experience, all their tricks and time-wasting. We just couldn't play. It was chaos and it should not happen this way at a World Cup."

LIKE WAR

Portugal coach Luiz Felipe Scolari said he was happy to win and added that such rough games were a part of his South American experience.

"Sometimes it is like war," he said. "It is like that in the Copa America and I am used to that."

Scolari said he was not worried avoutt losing players to suspension because he has a strong squad.

He defended captain Luis Figo, who was cautioned for butting Mark van Bommel in a scrap to grab the ball when the Dutch were refusing to hand it back.

Van Bommel said: "They were not any smarter than us, but the referee let them get away with it.

"If Figo butts you, and he only gets a yellow card, and then minutes later he 'delivers' Boulahrouz's second yellow when, already, he should have been in the dressing room... Well, they are crucial mistakes that shouldn't be made at a World Cup."

But Scolari said Figo only did what a committed player should do when goaded by his opponents, adding "Jesus Christ said he would turn the other cheek but Figo is not Jesus Christ. I thought he was more correct than the Dutchmen".

Scolari refused to accept that his side tricked their way to victory and Van Basten, when asked about his own team's physical style and their role in the chaos, said: "If they are talking about fair play, they should look at themselves first."

OKAAYYYY maybe I should reword...the most exciting game, highly entertaining (betta?). I agree Netherlands were more the deserved team because Portugal played really dirty! They spent most of their time tripping the Netherlands players....but Netherlands didnt give up...I think they played really well for what they were up against....even against the Ref cuz at the beginning he was more on the porkchops side... I will laugh if they beat England.... I cant wait to see how the game goes....

I was ok earlier today but someone came to me at the office and started to give me abunch of crapy comments about the game ! The worst thing was, that i...t did not even watch the game, QEF and then I read this, please...........

This game should have been called out and the referee changed before it got all nasty. I still can't understand why the FIFA no intervino durante partido.

Go Protugal Go I seen this game. ..and i gotta agree with you Princessa. .it was the most exciting game so far!!! It was krazy yellow and red cards flying EVERYWHERE!! and the Portuguese basically started the beefs...I mean Netherlands was playing pretty clean so I they got tired of being clean and started playing them back! It was krazzzyyyy!!! I felt bad for the REF... I coudlnt believe that a team like Netherlands couldnt score what so ever!! Wut was up with that!! Everytime they attempted it was too high or it just missed, I dont know why they couldnt just score ONE GOAL!! They shot about 21 times...while the porkchops shot only like 10 times...I was honestly expecting Netherlands to win! Well England is happy they will be up against a very broken down Portugal team with two players kicked out and Ronaldos injury that perhaps will keep him from playing. So what do you all think ...do you think Portugal can handle England the way they are??!

It might be a good spectacle on some level, but this wasn't supposed to be a friggin novela. I completely disliked the fact that there was such bad sportsmanship here. I felt bad for the players, especially the Netherlands. Imagine all the hard work they put into the game; their dreams and aspirations and to have them cut short like this it must be so frustrating. And for Portugal it can't be that good either. How can they be proud of this win? How can they find the glory in it? Unless of course they suck and think any win is a good win. ETA (Maradona - hand of God. ) Boo boo and boo. Isn't FIFA all about fair play?

The referee totally reminded me of my first year teaching - a fiasco.
