Soccer is a CONTACT SPORT, some refs allow more contact than others, its the same the whole world over...just part of the game, all a ref can do is call it as THEY see it - parents, coaches, players can rant, scream and shout all they want and it makes no difference, the level of physical play in any given game is determined by the referee who is acting according to the rules and guidelines set down by FIFA. Anyone who doesn't like it can take issue with FIFA HQ in Zurich Germany. Bad calls, good calls, penalties etc. all balance themselves out at the end of the season.
