I actually thought that was a tough tough match to referee, regardless of the ref,

He should have carded the major fouls more and let the little things go. So in the end every little foul meant the same and everything WAS a foul. Players will dive more when they know the ref will fall for it.
By trying to control the game the players became frustrated and out of control.
This is a game played by men (I would think) and they don't need protection from the ref for every little thing. It's the World Cup Final!

Don't know if it was mentioned but Diego Forlan won the Golden Ball!
