The only time there was a major stop was when Cana, Sneijder and RvN began arguing. And that lasted 2 minutes. Add that to the other bs throughout the game, then 3 minutes (at most 4) sounded reasonable. Considering how the game got completely out of hand, "Riley the Moron" had no other choice but to call it off. More cards could have been shown if he had continued. 6 extra minues was too much.

How come it's not 6 extra minutes for Albania to score?? I mean you keep talking about how much you were shutting down Van Nistelrooij, so you shouldn't have been worried. Maybe Albania could have stolen it if they played a more positive game and tried to go for the win instead of just setting up a defensive wall and playing for a draw. And of course the ref is going to end the game when fans start trying to injure players and throw fireworks at them. It's just common sense.

It seems Melchiot's goal was a real goal. We did play lousy. A draw was probably more fair. Let's not get carried away and dragging racist, monetary of geographical reasons in the discussions...

It seems Melchiot’s goal was a real goal.

We did play lousy.

A draw was probably more fair.

Let’s not get carried away and dragging racist, monetary of geographical reasons in the discussions…

Another well-known example; Zlatan Ibrahimovic (half Bosnian, half Croatian). Another example; Lorik Cana, hehe. But I have to say the Dutch were not quiet either. Sneijder and v.Nistelrooy were also aggressive at some cases, and Van Persie was begging the referee for an early shower. v.Basten replaced him and that was the right thing to do. tjeerd, hehehe, it’s true that Tahir Domi did have a problem with temper and that’s true for all Balkan peoples.

It was a physical game from both sides. Our defenders made some nasty tackles, but so did the Dutch players. Also, what did you expect, that we were gonna let Van Persie and Van Nistelrooy just walk around and shoot? Obviously, it was going to be a physical game. tjeerd, if the Albanians are a dirty bunch, then so are the Dutch. It was a physical game from both sides.

The game was enjoyable for me to watch, the Albanians are a dirty bunch. I even taped it. The ref ended the game 3 minutes early when a firework exploded a few metre's from a Dutch players head. Jan.
