So uh, you need to learn how to click the next page button.
The goal was disallowed due to a foul no one but the ref saw. He blew the whistle before the goal was scored so no-goal. Bullshit, but we're stuck with it. We just need to beat Algeria.
I missed the red card, but looking back at the BBC's minute by minute it looks like the ref's been iffy all night. Too lenient early, missed a handball, and then red for no reason. This game's not controversial though, it didn't change the result. Brazil wasn't going to draw/lose to the Ivory Coast.
Serbia/Germany was more controversial due to ridiculous card-age.
On the plus side they're changing the yellow card rule so that amnesty is applied after the Quarter-finals. Meaning you shouldn't lose a player in the final match due to yellow cards, reds will still result in an expulsion and could result in multiple games lost if the review indicates it was incredibly dangerous/flagrant/etc.
