ref was above average anyway.
Which in this tournament is like saying that at least the ref wasn't totally worthless. In 10-20 years time, the only thing that will be remembered from South Africa 2010 are all the wrong referee decisions. Nobody will remember the awesome Germany - Argentina match, but everyone will remember Frank Lampard's goal-but-not-quite-so. I don't get why FIFA insists on getting referees from all over the world, instead of just the 20 very best ones out there. I guess it's just politics... AGAIN.
