to be honest, I don't think that the ref was trying to help the English in anyway.
Englishmen wanted to play football more than the Colombians did.
Colombians wanted to destroy English tempo and kick them off balance. For the majority of the match, though, they were completely lost in this effort and what
almost saved them, was pure luck - one lucky shot and subsequent corner.
Other than that, it was just ill-tempered foul play and nerves. Dissapointing performance.
Yerri Mina was superb, though (not only for the goal itself). I heard rumours Barcelona wanted to get rid of him, which must be a joke, as he must be a better central midfielder than Pique+Umtiti, combined.
