Even referees can be eliminated from the World Cup.
Lionel Messi ripped referee Antonio Miguel Mateu Lahoz after Argentina's win over the Netherlands.Referee Antonio Miguel Mateu Lahoz came under fire for his officiating during Argentina's win over the Netherlands.Both teams were enraged with Lahoz throughout the match, which saw Argentina blow a late 2-0 lead before rallying to win in penalties. Lahoz handed out 18 yellow cards and one red card in the match, including a World Cup record of 15 players on the field to receive a card.
In the first half, Lahoz opted not to give Messi a yellow card for a deliberate hand ball. But despite that, it was Messi and the Argentinians who were more vocal against Lahoz. “The referee was giving everything to them,” Argentinian goalie Emiliano Martinez, who made two saves in penalties, said. “He gave 10 minutes for no reason. … He just wanted them to score. He is useless.”
