UEFA EURO 2008 group stage:
Sweden - Spain, 1 - 2. Tivoli-Neu, Innsbruck, Austria, 2008-06-14

It is as if Pieter Vink hasn't got his act together yet. Some things are fouls, some aren't, with most refs it is clear but with Vink you never know. You could actually see the players look at each other: "Huh? Was that a foul? He didn't even touch me".

ex cop
The really bad fouls got noticed by Vink, but wasn't that a penalty for Spain? If it wasn't, then why were a lot of almost non incidents reason for a free kick?
I'm sure he wasn't, but it almost almost felt as if he was inclined to whistle against Spain.
And he looks like he doesn't want to be there. Like the ex-cop he is, fining Villa for running too fast.

match
What is Sweden doing in this tournament? Why are they here? Certainly not to try to win it. You will never stand a chance against Spain by playing like this. Their play was like an Ikea couch: it looks solid but after a while it just falls to pieces.
