Referee errors get more annoying as TV coverage matures to perfection: instant slow-motion replays from different angles show exactly whether a foul was real or faked, a hand blocked a shot from scoring or a player stood offside.

Some people stood in the center of main roads handing out fistfuls of sweets to passing motorists, a traditional Arab gesture of celebration.
