I beleive that this is a major problem when english referees go to 
the continent. In England they are used to games that are hard and
with a lot of fightning but they are also used to more fairness from
the players. I remember we had the same kind of problems when Denmark 
played Youguslavia in 1991 with another english referee.

I agree! I look upon this game as a mirror image of the EC final, where
Denmark converted their few chances.
