Answer:

Hi! This phrase contains a simile.

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference between simile and metaphor, although both of them make comparisons, is that simile uses the word like or as to compare two things or situations, whereas a metaphor directly states the comparison. In this case, you can realize that the author uses a simile because of the use of the word like (The referee’s stare was like ice after I fouled the other players). An example of a metaphor can be: Your voice is the most beautiful song I've ever heard. In this example, the author is comparing the voice with a song, without using any of those two words.
