That match for 3rd place was oddly refereed. One yellow card, several penalty kick worthy fouls committed, none called. The ref was Qatari. Commentators said it was odd he would get the assignment because he had not refereed a match for over a month. Seems he was given the task of not having the match decided by penalty kicks!
FIFA president has a sinister aspect about him. There have been many shots of him during matches and they always made me cringe.
There was a story in the New York Times just before the tournament commenced explaining that FIFA higher-ups were bribed by the Qataris in order to land this WC in their domain. Qatar is filthy rich with natural gas. The stadiums were built by evidently scandalously treated imported labor.
