and as for refs ... the only game so far, mildly destroyed by refs, is Holland-Portugal. Not that Holland would win (sorry stuveltje) but the games was unnecessary sliced and wasn't fluid enough to enjoy it (although I did enjoy the fights)!!! None of the other ref mistakes did too much damage to the game ... now I didn't watch Italy's game so can't comment on that :-) everything else was ... well ok :-)
I think that these teams that have gone through: Ger, Arg, Eng, Por, Braz, France, Ukr, Ita deserve it ... well except Italy but then again I'm saying this every Championship and they always seam to be in the top so I guess they deserve it (in a way)
