The referee from Uzbekistan, who also is the youngest referee in the 2010 world cup made a blunder in the semi final match played between Holland and Uruguay. In the 18th minute of the game Givane Bronchurst the Dutch captain scored a beutiful goal from a long distance shot. But a few seconds earlier to that shot a dutch player had raised his foot high and it landed on the thigh , a very clear fowl according to F.I.F.A rules and the referee was standing a few feet away. sothat goal should not have stood. Shebby Singh and Paul Masefield saw it and it was shown clearly to us all on T.V. as a fowl. But only F.I.F.A referees can not see it. Mind you these referees are getting 500 pounds a game.
So actually the game should have gone to extra time and then penalties. And van Bommel should have got a red card for a leg breaking tackle on a Uruguay player.
