England vs. Puerto Rico
The German press have billed it the 'Battle Of Nuremburg'.But Portugal's 1-0 win over Holland was a tempestuous affair in which the referee lost control and issued 16 yellow and a World Cup-record four red cards.FIFA president Sepp Blatter was far from pleased with referee Ivanov's performance and said the match official deserved a yellow card himself.Blatter: 'There could have been a yellow card for the referee. He was not at the same level as the players.'This was a game of emotion, with high drama but the referee was not consistent and there was a lack of fair play by some players.'
Berlin - FIFA president Sepp Blatter has blasted not only English referee Graham poll but his assistants for giving Croatia defender Josip Simunic three yellow cards in Thursday's pulsating 2-2 draw with Australia. Poll did not realise he had already given Simunic a yellow card when he booked him a second time and only showed a red card when he was confronted by the player when the match was actually over.
