A defense of referees, through the lens of the game with the most cards in World Cup history: Portugal - Netherlands in 2006.

To persuade you, let’s look at the game with the most red cards in World Cup history: Portugal versus the Netherlands in the 2006 World Cup. 16 yellows, 4 reds, 2 melees, uncounted crates of champagne, a Guinness World Record, a PhD in pedagogy, an almighty brouhaha, and a partridge in a pear tree.
