Well obviously it has. Football is a team game, so the better the team the better each individual can be expected to perform.

Or the better the team, the more a player goes unnoticed. With Ronaldo alongside him, how much of the ball does he really get in comparison as to how much he gets for Wales? A lot less would be my guess.

I'm still convinced the extra officials are a job creation scheme invented by Blatter. We'll find out they're his old mates earning £50,000 a game.

And . . . .
I know some people like him but Savage is a stupid git.

Invented by Platini, I believe, but I'm with you there. Howard Webb says they can do a good job, but then they've got to be awake and have input. Thing is, the extra official may have said, penalty, but the referee can always overrule him. However, clearly Škrtel has been overly aggressive there. But there's that bloody ruling about attackers having lost or no control of the ball. Goalkeepers get away with fouls because the attacker has lost control of the ball. Maybe there's something of that in the decision.? I'm fishing there.

Surely an elbow to the face is a penalty whether Williams had lost the ball or not.
 
That goal looks a lot like the one they should have scored in the first five minutes.
 
Škrtel is one of those defenders, like Koscielny, who try it on and run the risk of getting themselves sent off. Koscielny is a lot better at getting away with it, but they're both out of the same mould.

Coincidentally, both have faces you'd like to punch. ;)
