There is no doubt in my mind that this World Cup has been exciting and absorbing. I had a hard time waiting for the Quater Finals to start simply because I have become addicted to the game. My only complain is with the level of officiating.
I feel the referees have taken too much of a role in this World Cup and have unduly influnced games with their decisions.
For example, four red cards and sixteen yellow cards were shown by the referee in the second round tie between Holland and Portugal.
I understand the determination of FIFA to root out rough play and I support them. But the game is about players not referees and fifa should not forget that.

It's a great world cup with very little flair on the field of play. The game has now become so mechanical to the extent that some times, it is boring watching some specific countries play. Typical, is the Germans and the Italians. Even the Brazilians who are noted for their flair hardly exhibited any of them during this world cup. The referees too didn't help matters with their bizarre officiating.
