Partly, it was the referee. He definitely made a few terrible decisions, and didn't do anything about Portugal's constant running up and complaining. He was actually the same guy that sent Beckham off in 1998 (make of that what you will), and he was definitely (which is all too common in this world cup) trigger happy with yellow cards.
