The game turned on a drop ball, when the dutch player deliberatley kept it in

to cause trouble, that player got his way, as the portuguese player flew straight into him taking him out, and started a mini mely

That just signalled the intent of the Dutch, and the Portuguese reacted too

If Collina was still around at his peak, he'd have probably referee'd that game the same way

Even on the 4th red I was watching and thinking "what else could the referee do?"
