The Netherlands v Côte d'Ivoire

vs

The Netherlands won 2-1 against Côte d'Ivoire in the World Cup Friday. Kone of Côte d'Ivoire made a beautiful strike against Holland. It was an aggressive game, but clean. There were too many yellow cards (7 cautions in all) for my taste, though. Dutch Robben seemed to be the focus of the referee's attention. I realize he's been a bad boy in the past, but some of the calls looked to be in error, as far as I could see.
