It seems to me that refs have been stealing the players spotlight more and more. I subscribe to the school of thought that refs should be rarely seen and heard. Soccer or Football is about two teams trying to put a ball in the others goal. The ref should only step in when a rule is broken. At a World Cup, where the best players play, refs should step in only when a rule is trampled on.

These players are the best and can handle themselves for the most part. This mongoose is simply saying, “The refs are intervening 25 percent to much, except when Adebyor was taken down in the box with a no call. Ludicrus!”

Refs put your whistles and some of your cards back in your pocket and let advantage flow. If their is a card to be issued, let the play end before interjecting.

The game is about the game, not about your whistle, so stop blowing.
