I think you missed the point: that ref, (who was South American I believe) from Uruguay, was trying to be the star of the game when he should have let the players on the field play. I heard one commentator on the Spanish coverage mention that ref was suspended before as well, so far I have not been able to confirm it, but I bet we hear everything there is to hear about that mook's background in the soccer press.
He handed out so many cards I thought he would run out, justice would be served if that ref was sent back to Uruguay on the next plane.
