I dont think I have seen anything like this, there was a match in the last few years in the english 2nd or 3rd division where it had to be abandoned due to so many sendings off.

Holland not giving the ball back just kicked it off before and now the officials on the side getting confused as well.

I suspect this ref wont be getting a Siberian Fourth Division match.

honestly, if soccer was always like this, it'd be huge in the US.

This is a terribly managed game by the referee, althought it is highly entertaining.

Many posts have talked about the need for more stoppage time because they think there is only 35 or so minutes of "real play" in a given half.

The 2nd half has probably had about 20 minutes of real soccer.

Funny thing is there have been two very clear red cards not given (Figo and Schneidjer), also a clear yellow for Cocu.
