Still, the point is the ref didn't bottle it

"Oh bollocks, I've already booked him, maybe I'll just wave a finger at him..."

The question of course is whether he'd do the same to one of the Brazilian players. He booked Adriano for diving in the first half, so maybe yes.

Is this the first ref to book someone for diving at this World Cup (After FIFA's much-trumpeted "crackdown" on diving)? Arjen "Dutch U-Boat 2" Robben would last about 5 minutes if they did.
