i dont know if my accessment is being sentimental but from my own point of view i saw the  match between nigeria and venezuela as a game were the ref was harsh on the nigeria side. it was a game nigeria played with 11 players later reduced to 10 before half time against a 12 men venezuela side  (ref included). as i said at the start of this, this is only my personal view. i would like to see all your objective and subjective views on this topic.
