If you're missing it, a hockey game has broken out during the second half of
the Portugal-Netherlands match. It's been about a yellow card a minute for a while here.
GAME-OVER UPDATE: Portugal wins. What a clusterfuck. But the Dutch deserved to lose -- they had every opportunity and advantage over the Portuguese and they just couldn't make it happen. There were 16 cards handed out during the game, including 4 second yellows/reds. I understand that's some sort of
record.
There have been 23 red cards handed out in the tournament so far, which is also a new record.
UPDATE 2: Oh, and this kills my perfect record of correct predictions, ruining my credibility as a good guy at sports and making the Portuguese indisputably the greatest villains in World Cup history.
