World Cup Refereeing Scandals
Comments: 3
For a tournament that began with an excellent standard of referreing, things have certainly got out of hand. The BBC provides a rundown of the most egregious examples, including a stunning call by an assistant ref in the Span vs. Korea game that cost Spain the match.
A catalogue of errors
BBC NewsFernando Morientes heads home Joaquin’s cross to score Spain’s golden goal winner.
But the referee’s assistant Michael Ragoonath incredibly rules out the goal after he decides the ball had gone out of play before Joaquin crossed from the byeline.
An atrocious decision that costs Spain dearly. Coach Jose Antonio Camacho brands the match ‘a scandal.’

I agree with Mary Beth… it is absolutely vile. Go buy a Compaq, J. Thank you for ruining my lunch.
