its weird how everyone remembers the Heitinga incident and not the one that stimulated it: the figo incident.

Hope all of you complaining out there are not naive enough to consider Heitinga’s behaviour in a vaccum and not in context.
One took place after the other folk !! and in many ways Boulahrouz red card and Figos simulation(s) led the Dutch to go mad, and thus the Heitinga incident..

I dont really understand what dumb ivanov means when he says they were the instigators ?? If by this he means what Heitinga did, then please everyone disregard his stupid comment.. Not even worth acknowledging !!

@Ian, comment about Boula deserving a red card is very true, very nasty on Ronaldo(but was beautiful to see him cry!!), saw Boula take to strikers out in the Bundesliga in half an hour in a simular way, dont like that at all
about returning the ball: it was a referee ball, so both teams got to compete for it after the ref drops the ball, its Portugals fault that they didnt compete for the ball and expected the dutch to give them the ball , now it may not be realy gentlemens like cause Portugal had the ball when the ref. blowed his wisle but its the rules and the game was just not a fair game from the beginning, it didnt start in the 80 minute!!

Overall, I think the referees’ performances so far have been inconsistent. Ivanov lost control of Holland-Portugal match. Referee made mistakes in giving Ghana the penalty against US, the second yellow to Lucic of Sweden in Germany game, and the Italy penalty against Australia. Clamming down in acting/diving/cheating is not consistent. Being a Dutch fan, I think the fault against C. Ronaldo by a Dutch defend deserved a red card. I also did not like the way the Dutch did not return the ball to Portugal, creating all the chaos afterward. I hope the young Dutch team learn well from this experiences so they can win the Euro 08 and the WC in 2010. The talents and potentials are there, as Van Basten and players all realize that they have not played the way they want yet.

The dogs bark and the caravan goes on? You must have trouble adjusting to Sweden, no stray dogs on the streets or caravans of chuckwagons coming through, sounds like your homesick. England is not a very good team these days, I would put most of the blame on their outgoing Swedish coach Erikson; taking two broken strikers to the world cup and filling another spot with a 17 year old kid that has not even made his club debute with Arsenol. It’s clearly apparent that he’s too scared to play him, so they have a real lack of depth and production up front. If England lose fragile Rooney to some questionable Portuguese tackling they won’t even have enough strikers left to play 442 formation. But they do have quality everywhere else, except in goal. So even a depleted Portugal team playing the dirty game portugal has shown, could have a chance but I sure hope they lose, go England. Hup Holland.

Van Basten should be ashamed of himself.Because he has an ego.when you’re defending your country,as a coach he should come with edgard davids,this guy is an iron in the midfield, maybe with him we could go further,so ithink he is an idiot.He should resign or get fired.He is a fool.

I dont realy care about England. I would rather see Portogal win this game. At least I can say we lost from a semi finalist or finalist.

I would love to see another game war with England, so the media supported by the english media would blast and would show us whats going on.

Mike and those:
Who do you expect to retire from Holland ? Will RVN stay in form Euro 2008 ?

Mr RAMI are you on drugs?? Are you teling me figo started de hole mess? so before the headbut of figo there was only love between the teams? I even saw cristiano ronaldo limp off the field because he was madly hugged and kissed by the dutch defense. Dont be a sad looser man. Admit you litle pussies wanted to play ruff football but could not handle the big boys. Grow up and then comme back again for more beating. And dont come talking about EUROSPORT because anyone with brains nows that they are ALWAYS beating on portugal because we always kick englands ass too. Love to Holland from Portugal. Keep on smoking grass and leave soccer alone

Personally the money trail will tell the story of “bad referees”
for them to decide a game is unconscioble
