I think more refs, or more input from goal refs would be very helpful. Keep an odd number, and keep a 'heirarchy' so that the main ref can overrule if he/she had a clear view.
I totally agree that the onus should be on the players though. My worry is that people are watching this video, seeing that an inferior yet cheaty/aggressive team can win at the highgest level and will adapt their play accordingly. A few voices have already said that we should start playing more aggressively...
I would like to watch that video and make a note of every foul (from both sides of course). Re-watching parts of it, there are loads of pushes with hands, which should be obvious and easy to call as a ref.
