The Italian referee was very bad today. He failed to call a blatant foul against Uruguay in the penalty area when the score was 1-1. That changed the game.
As an aside, the U.S.A. referee Mark Geiger has already been assigned two matches and did an excellent job in both. I would expect him to get at least two more assignments based on his performance so far.
I thought the ref who did USA-Ghana was excellent.
Unfortunately Croatia failed to do the job today--Mexico won 3-1. Here's hoping Mexico gets knocked out in the next round.
