I thought Webb had a shocker. He didn't ref like he would have in a Prem game. I can only assume he was under pressure from FIFA to not send people off.
The players constantly haranguing him showed his lack of control. I'm sure millions of public park referees around the world will be suffering for sometime due to his poor performance.
Maybe he was concerned he couldn't keep track of the number of yellow card he'd issued to individuals as has happened with Prem Refs in previous finals
