Good first half from elfath. Much less in the players faces unnecessarily and firm with players trying to milk dubious clashes...

Somewhat dubious in/out call, but who cares about a throw in on half way

There was an advantage played in 24th, then ball lost about 8 seconds after the foul and brought the ball back for the foul. Everything else has also been minor as well. First yellow was desrved but delivered while player on ground. TBH this has not been very hard to ref so far. And not first ET of the tournament.

Very dull really. Not even much excessive whistling.

Finally found a team who are worse at penalty shootouts than England.

Island nation with a parliamentary constitutional monarchy taking bad PKs? Sounds familiar.
