[QUOTE="Salty25, post: 200446, member: 185281"] Theres no doubt that the best team won, i dont think anyone could argue with that, and the Lehmann incident is down to a matter of opinion about what was best for the game. However, the majority of not just Arsenal fans, but also neutral, I think will argue that the ref was extremely naive and inept in much of his decision making. It would have been better to have a Dutch or Italian ref, at least they are better at telling when players are 'simulating'. At the end of the day, Barca didnt need poor refereeing to help them, they had the talent to win it anyway. Its a shame both Henry and Ronaldinho has off night... I guess England, Germany, and Italy as well as the other favourites should take some hope from that. Can't believe Giuly didn't even make the reserves for France, apart from Larsson, he was the best player last night, and you could say the same for Victor Valdas (who went up in my previously low estimation of him).
