> [@mhendo](#): > > Yeah, what the fuck happened there? One minute it looked like there were going to be warnings and such, and the next second Brazil was streaming downfield in attack as if nothing had happened. The replay showed the Colombians took their free kick during the contretemps to try to take advantage, and of course, gave possession away almost immediately. The ref should have whistled it dead and given some lectures. ---

The refereeing is horrible. I liked the initial pace but now every play is being disrupted. Agreed that the referee has lost control. ---

I feel bad for Ospina’s fall, although it was a good save. ---

Ref too embarrassed to admit he’s left the cards in his hotel room? ---

> [@Baron\_Greenback](#): > > Ref too embarrassed to admit he’s left the cards in his hotel room? We’re now at about 40 fouls without a single card. Edit: And just as i write that, he finally finds the yellow card in his pocket. ---

So the ref hasn’t lost his yellow cards after all. ---

The referee was finally forced to give a yellow. Even he couldn’t ignore that. ---

Finally! A yellow! I don’t understand; the referee is Spanish. Surely he has a lot of experience refereeing high-level games in the Liga. Usually it’s the refs from tiny countries that look out of their depth. ---
