I assume it comes from a decision by UEFA (kudos to them if true), but I have been very impressed by the refereeing so far in this tournament.
They seem to have reverted to the old fashioned English way.
Two players come together, not necessarily a foul.
It's been interesting to see those players that can't cope with it.
Thomas Rosicky, I'm looking at you.

I particularly liked when he kept saying "behave" to Eder.Denbighammer wrote:Thought Clattenburg was excellent tonight. Wouldn't be surprised if he got the final.
Did well and didn't fall for any simulation. Normally can't stand the bloke but credit when credit's due.

Re: Referees
I agree. They must have been schooled before the tournament to cut out the play acting and simulation which they have done a great job on. However, there have been a couple of blatant fouls that have gone unpunished but I guess you can't have it both ways. Well done refs!

Re: Referees
Yes, fair play to them I say.
The games seem to be flowing and it is refreshing to not hear the whistle going for every single coming together of players. So far the refs have done well. !
