This has been an incredibly dramatic and exciting European Championship. It seems all the action goes down in the last 10 -20 minutes. Overtime, PKs, Dramatic Equalizers.
Why? Referees.
The referees in this tourney have been tight. I'm not sure if UEFA is telling them to call it that way so no one gets injured and the players can go back to their clubs without injuries - clubs demanding compensation - but the officiating is not "normal". Instant whistles, no advantages, not even a look to see if the fouled team can break. It kills the rhythm of the game allows defenses to organize and the spectator ends up with boredom until ... the end when the ref can't totally control it any longer and he lets the game unwind. It has been exploding into unbelievable drama.
Is it better this way? Do the refs know something we don't?
