Russian ref loses it


Valentin Ivanov is set to become an infamous figure in World Cup history.

His officiating in the 2nd round match between Holland and Portugal reduced football to a side issue in Nuremburg as he deigned to send off 4 players and hand out 16 yellow cards.

What may well be forgotten is Maniche's 23rd-minute winning goal - which means Portugal face England in Gelsenkirchen on Saturday.
