Yes, the ref allowed a lot of fouls, but the game wasn't rough and the fouls weren't frequent enough to break the flow of the game.

Re: Spain - Portugal (none / 0)
there was as much diving as fouls. brilliant acting by the millionaires on the pitch, very untertaining for us plebes. the ref was not swayed, and even laughed a few times about the divers.
