For example match between Portugal and Netherlands, everyone seemed to be talking to each other in some universal language and understanding each other.

Suprisingly the FIFA refs speak very good english as well as most of the player from each country. during the portugal v netherlands match they were probably speaking either portugueses, spanish or english. The main ref was from spain....you can't really tell but probably english.

The referee shows the cards, then the players insult him in any language they know!
If the referee is spanish and they are portuguese, they will easily communicate in either language.

Sign language, flags, whistles and cards.....but that's just for the first 15mins.......after that it's shoves, and kicks and ofcourse the popular Figo-butting-head-with-dutch :)

duh, they use the common signals that exist outside of language. A red card is a red card no matter how you communicate.
