That was totally depressing. One of the most negative games it has been my misfortune to watch. I'm not sure I've seen a game as poorly officiating as this one. I have a sneaking suspicion that the referee was corrupt - I cannot imagine that he and his crew could have been that incompetent.
One of my favorite teams goes down to defeat but I do not believe that they would feel that the loss was deserved. To be sure, the Portugese scored a good goal but the game went to hell in a hand basket shortly thereafter and left the Netherlands with little opportunity to respond.
