Why? When we’re talking about the World Cup? Rooney wasn’t cut that slack, nor was Ronaldo? Judging a player in the World Cup is based on, er, their WC performances surely? Still, each to their own I guess...
Clattenburg typifies much that's wrong in the game i.e. famous referees. Football was much better when we didn't know who the man in the middle was. Today they want media careers akin to Big Brother contestants
Match summary:
Brazil - all fur coat and no knickers, typified by Marcelo’s performance. He was poor in 2014 and hasn’t improved.
Swiss - opportunity favours the brave, it was more of a brush than a push for the goal and if Brazil can't combat that level of physicality...?!!
