It's not fixed. Definitely not. And the Portugal one wasn't either.

But this game shows you once again that half the referees are morons who should never have been called. ALL referees should be European next time.

exactly. FIFA's policy is idiotic, and really hurts the game. These last two games have been embarrassing

For some reason I thought of that Norwegian bald ref that fucked up both Braca-Chelsea in the CL semi final a year ago and the Viola - Bayern 1st leg match this season when I read that.

I can see where they're coming from: only UEFA has true professionals. Unfortunately they are also the only organisation that set standards high enough.

Something ought to be done. I hope it'll be instant replay, but I think they won't allow it, because that way you can never influence a game.

That red was as idiotic as behrami's was yesterday
The red yesterday wasn't idiotic. The guy lashed out at the player. Maybe a little harsh, but can be punishable with a red.

I think it was red, he went in with that elbow, and that in my eyes are automatic red.
Depends if there was intent or not.

Just like the teams.

Oh Ovrebo is shitty no doubt. I don't know why he got the big games either.

Anyways, this game is fixed :D.

The Euros are definitely becoming a better tournament quality wise. Brazil and Argentina are fun and add a lot. But America? No, I'd rather watch Russia.
