We were talking abuot that on Sundee 'cos we wathced the extended

highlights of Holland vs Belgium and then Portugal vs Israel.

The two games couldn't have been reffed differently: the Clogs vs Flems game was reffed like a Championship game: touch tackling allowed, advantage played, no too card-happy. But then the Israel vs Portugal game was more like a Champs League game - tough tacking always bringing a foul, yellow cards for not-very-bad fouls.

I'm not asying one's better than the other, but you'd hope you'd get more consistency within a tournament.
