[70] The Netherlands players were critical of referee Webb, questioning why Heitinga was sent off for a second bookable offence, while Iniesta was not. [71] Former Netherlands player Johan Cruyff was critical of his compatriots, however, saying that they had played "in a very dirty fashion", describing their contribution to the final as "ugly", "vulgar" and " anti-football". He added that the Netherlands should have had two players ( Mark van Bommel and Nigel de Jong) sent off early in the match, and was critical of Webb for being too lenient on them.
