1.   A better referee would have given fouls against Dowie most of the game...

2.   On defense, he gave hard fouls to Corliss Williamson, the Arkansas all-America center.

3.   Nunez changed his call and gave the foul to Blaylock three possessions later.

4.   Ariel Ortega appeared to take a dive, or at least fall unaided, in the penalty area but Collina gave a foul against Nigerian defender Taribo West.

5.   But Spanish referee Antonio Nieto, who seemed to be struggling like the players, gave the foul just outside the area.
