No it was not a well called game...

For starters, the clearest error was to invalidate the Spanish goal in the second OT.

Then at least there were one and maybe two off-sides that were not.

The worst thing about this referee, is that allowed many shoving and pushing without being called, and the Korean (Dutch) coach did a silly display by throwing his jacket on the floor... in stead of calling him to order he goes and smiles and exchanges strokes on the face... ??

WHAT ? I have never seen a referee do this.

He was immensely lucky that the Spaniards and Koreans behave and are good sportsmen..

This referee in the middle of a game, say with Italy, Bulgaria and/or Argentina and the game becomes a disaster... as the kicking would have become massive.

This, without doubt is the worst refereeing of the tournament, which I have to admit, it has been falling apart as the games progressed... (remember Brazil - England, throwing Ronaldihno out ?) Incomprehensible and unacceptable.

I hope the referees in the following games will improve.
