this is a good question. i think ESPN should've done a better job of showing the abuse the refs received after the whistle. i saw two cops out there trying to protect them. i imagine FIFA could get involved and punish some Venezuelan players.
on another note, FIFA needs to clean up the blatant holding by defenders on corner kicks. FIFA should release a directive stating that this behavior / tactic will no longer be tolerated. also, that they are running their refs through additional training on this issue so proper fouls will be whistled EVERY TIME going forward.
