Australia v Croatia was a somewhat 'vigorous' match, and so Pole was right to issue the cards he did. His spot for the handball for Australia's penalty was really very good. But he missed two more infrigements that could have resulted in penalties for Australia and ended up giving two yellow cards to a Croatian defender and failing to send him off. There has been a plenty of blatant cheating at this World Cup but Croatia seemed to take it to a new level.
