Just as analysis, because I didnt really have a dog in the race, - TopicsExpress



          

Just as analysis, because I didnt really have a dog in the race, but that PK for the Dutch hurts as a referee. The Dutch player had already put the ball outside of his own reach and the foul did not deny a goal scoring opportunity. I wouldnt have given it. 50/50. I know there are those that disagree with me on the penalty area and want to see every foul called in the box, but a PK, especially at this level is almost a guaranteed goal. One of the basic principles of a referee is that you remain objective and let the players determine the outcome of the game. In this case, I believe the ref determined the outcome of this game and gave the game to the Dutch. But in the end, hindsight is 20/20 and whats done is done.
