Name-calling is childish, especially for a late-comer to this thread. The tape tells all, and you, my friend, must obviously be blind.

George, first of all, the referee was not a Saudi, he was from the United Arab Emirates. I agree Holland did not play as well as they could have; neither did Brazil, for that matter. But the fact remains that Van Hooidonk was BLATANTLY pulled down in the penalty area in the 90th minute. Are we to "let them play" by ignoring fundamental rules of football? Ronaldo was not fouled, either - it was a legitimate slide-tackle.

To all: please review the tape. Van Hooidonk was pulled down by his shirt in the penalty area when he was in scoring position. If you think that play did not merit a penalty, then you are not familiar with the rules. End of story.

I am not a rabid partisan, and I can handle a loss, but not like this. I am sorry.
