        • The ref didn't have any control. He started it when he booked for a few puny ones in the first 10 minutes, then it just went downhill. We were rubbish today, but it should have been maybe 6-7 yellow and 1-2 reds instead of 16 yellows and 4 reds.

            • Khalid Boulahrouz should have seen directly red. And the match would not have been that dirty.

                  Agreed on that one. It was nasty

                    Agreed, but I doubt the game would have been any fairer. The referee handed many more cards throughout the game (and most, I may add, well deserved), but that didn't seem to impress anyone.

                      TSN was having problems with their satellite feed, so they switched from the British broadcast to the American one somewhere around the 90th minute. Ye gods what a difference.

                        They weren't. They played dirty. But the Dutch weren't orders of magnitude more horrible.

                              So why is it that the casual Canadian fan has no problem understanding the British announcers?

                                :shrug: Canadian casual fans are more knowledgable than American casual fans?

                                Hell, they have to put subtitles on Eric Cantona speaking ENGLISH on the Joga Bonita commericals. For that matter, I've seen them put subtitles on Sir Alex Ferguson!
