                    It is.

                    As for the Holland/Portugal ref, when no one is stepping up to defend you, then you know you've screwed the pooch (so to speak).

                      Probably--

                      Admittedly, both teams went into a foul frenzy but often-times it is poor refereeing early thats sets the stage for that. I missed the first 20 minutes of that match so I don't know what happened there but by the second half BOTH teams were doing very very stupid and silly things

                        If you watch most Portugal or Netherlands matches, you'll realize they normally don't go nuts. Any match has the potential to get crazy if it is allowed to, but the ref has to calm people down.

                              Late reply to Locutus...

                              [q=Locutus]Also, very few people in the Netherlands ever expect the national team to win any major tournament.
                              (...)
                              So yes, in my experience the English are much more delusional about the abilities of their team/country than fans in any other major European nation. Not saying it doesn't happen at all elsewhere, but it's definitely worst in England.[/q]

                              That's funny...
