Blaming the referee is clutching at straws a bit. IMO.

In what way is it clutching at straws though?
Didn't he allow France's first goal to stand? Didn't he deny England multiple blatant penalties? Didn't he also allow France to just foul England players for 90 minutes?
I get that people don't want to be sour grapes or whatever, but to say that the Referee had no impact on the result is a tiny bit disingenuous imo.
