Enjoyed that friendly against Spain. The Spaniards are simply AMAZING with their precision passing but the English defense was better.

Got a question. The first yellow of the second half... when the Spaniard put his arm across the ref and angrily hollered in his face as the ref was walking toward the offender and taking out the yellow. Why was HE not given a yellow as well? In sports here, if you do that you get a "yellow" and if you don't back off you get sent off. Now, I heard the commentator say the ref was under scrutiny for getting a call wrong in a previous game, but messin with the ref is, IMO, the second worst foul one can commit.
