i was watching bayern munich-shalke 04 yesterday on goltv and nothing was called as it was in the world cup, it was a constant encroachment on freekicks, defenders taking the ball with them while they got back into position on throw-ins,freekicks etc. fouls were called but not cautioned. 
 should be interesting to see how the final is called on the 5th. live on goltv!!!

  I had a situation the other day in a U16G game.  Foul on a red player just
  outside the PA.  Blue player took the ball and placed it for a kick.  2 red
  defenders immediately situated themselves about 4 yards from the ball.  I
  told the defenders that they needed to give 10 yards.  They then took 2
  steps towards the ball.  When I walked over and cautioned them, they started
  whining that I didn't measure off 10 yards for them.  I countered that, when
  I told them to give 10 yards and they moved towards the ball, they knew
  exactly what they were doing.  The whining stopped and I didn't have any
  similar problems for the rest of the match.
