Larrionda

Larrionda is World Referee's favorite, but not today. I could live with the not-a-penalty for Xavi, Larrionda hardly ever whistles for minor fouls, but the red card for Bradley was too much and his assistant on our right, was wrong calling for off-side four times. And then, at the end of the match, when the losing team try to score whatever it takes, Larrionda lost it a bit. Like a rookie ref.

match

Spain had, what, 15 corner kicks? The Americans attacked maybe four times. Spain are the better team with better players, so why did they lose? Maybe because they started out thinking they would surely win...
