What's the point of the shaving cream if the ref isn't gonna check the defenders? All four Costa Ricans were over the line at that free kick.
 
Random thing that I've always wondered about: what language do you think (or do you know) the refs / players talk to eachother in? The refs are always yelling, etc, at them... are they all speaking their own native tongues and just conversing mostly in hand signals? Are they all speaking some sort of english variant? Do the refs have to know some basics from each native language...?
 
Once again the World Cup highlights the sheer drop in quality vs. the Champions League. This is a shame, but not surprising at all given the strength of European club football.

Think the refs are required to speak English, not 100% on that though

They all (the refs) have to speak English. Most are bi or tri lingual (I'd imagine Spanish is widely know). For the refs its pretty much what ever works. Anger and frustration are universal.

Refs speak one universal language.
