Yes, but I don't want them putting the foul counts on the scoreboard like they do in basketball. I feel like basketball refs sometimes see those numbers and either consciously or subconsciously try to make the fouls even throughout the game. I wouldn't want the same thing to happen in soccer. Just keep calling the game as you see it.

Otherwise known as "SEC Basketball Officiating." The foul count could be 16 - 4 with 5 minutes left in a half. You better believe those officials will have that 4 up to 12-15 before the half, so it's less obvious that they're just calling fouls at random.

Doesn't matter how painful it is for players, coaches or fans - it's gonna happen. Drives me nuts.
