I'm guessing you never saw Nigel De Jong kicking Xabi Alonso square in the chest during the 2010 World Cup final?

That happened after 28 minutes, and the Netherlands ended up coming within 5 minutes of taking the match to penalties. The referee's failure to show a red card could easily have cost Spain victory.
