The refereeing wasn't this bad, a lot of talk is going on about this in a number of football forums.



Germany did play well at the beginning. They would've won easily if they had stuck to it. But it was hard to win over the ball once Spain had it. As the game went on, it just got more frustrating with pointless dives and squabbles interrupting the flow.

Also, crazy Lehmann. I finally realized why they call him that.
