...and the Dutch need to be punished: World Cup final: Howard Webb's dream job descends into nightmare | Football | The Guardian .
Not only for their determination to kick Spain out of the game, but for their reaction afterwards - just what the f@&k are they complaining about? They're lucky Webb didn't send at least 2 more of their players off. Foul at the other end? Erm, not really...
I really think this kind of stuff is ruining football. Never mind that Webb is English - it's understandable that no-one wants to be a ref and that the pressure on them is forcing them into bad decisions. FIFA need to do something and the first thing they can do is publicly remind the Dutch that they lost because they decided not to turn up and play football, not because of anything that Howard Webb did.
