i believe fifa would justify webb's performance as satisfactory.
It would have been nice to watch a smooth flowing game but holland
was just too rough. And true, that dutch chap who had his foot on
alonso's chest, that should be a direct red.
For those of you who say spain dives, i beg to differ, albeit
not totally. Busquet's acting to get thiago motta sent off, that
was despicable. But then again, it's karma. Mourinho taught his
players at chelsea and porto to "make the most out of every
contact". He's a great manager but he encouraged cheating in the
game. Those who have noticed webb refereeing in the EPL, you would
realise that he's one of the top in the game today. He's assertive
and confident, and he doesnt sway easily to player opinion. Does
not mean that if they signal waving of cards to him, he will cave
in to their demands.
For those who play football, you will know that it's easy to get
tripped at the slightest of contacts, especially when you are
running or dribbling on the field. Spain was more skillful,
sometimes when u play against opponents who have better skill, if
you can't get the ball, your tackles can be mistimed. Period. So I
don't believe all this bullshit about webb being biased.
