...Poland's defending... the 2nd and 3rd Columbia goals are OK... but the defending is shocking. At 1-0 down, facing elimination, Falcao's marker stops playing. Criminal.

No Poland midfield it’s an open gate for Colombia to run right through.
 
88 at last a ref talking point... Cuadrado shoved in the back, ref puts whistle to lips, should blow, but instead points at the ball...

Looked poor IMHO.

On a related note, the pointing at the ball, as well as the hand signals the refs are using at corners have been really consistent and presumably trained before the tournament. The problem is they are being massively over used and poorly used, which is neutralising their effect and diminishing match control.

Indeed, too much of a good thing is a bad thing!
