Lionel Messi gets his wish! Unpopular referee Mateu Lahoz 'is sent HOME from
the World Cup with Argentina's win over Holland his last game in Qatar' -
with Spanish official dishing out an incredible 15 yellow cards in feisty
quarter-final
Mateu Lahoz will not be officiating any of the remaining games at the World
Cup as he 'heads home from Qatar', according to COPE.
The referee's final game was the feisty quarter-final clash between Argentina
and Holland where he dished out an incredible 15 yellow cards.
Lahoz's performance was not well received by either team - with Argentina's
players particularly vocal about his officiating.
Argentina's captain and talisman, Lionel Messi, led the criticism of Lahoz
following the game.
Messi said: 'I don't want to speak about referees because after they will
sanction you. But people saw what happened,'
The 35-year-old continued: 'I think Fifa must take care of this, it cannot
put a referee like that for a match of such magnitude, of such importance.
The referee cannot fail to be up to the task.'
It would appear that Messi has been granted his wish by Fifa - not allowing
him to officiate in the semi-finals or the final.
Argentina 'keeper Emi Martinez joined his skipper in criticising the
official's display.
Martinez said: 'The referee was just giving everything for them.
'He gave 10 minutes [added time] for no reason. He was giving free-kicks
outside the box for them, like two, three times. He just wanted them to
score, that's basically it. So, hopefully we don't have that ref anymore.
He's useless.'
Despite their criticism of the referee, unlike Lahoz, Argentina's World Cup
campaign continues.
Messi and Co. face Croatia in the semi-finals as they look to book a place in
the World Cup final.
小公主生涯最大挫败？竟然要被送回家
没有进延长赛的话，他的表现可能就正常发挥？只是把比赛吹得很破碎
延长赛时间很明显不敢给牌，连自己也记不得还有谁没拿牌
因该勇敢一点，该给还是要给，两边都有可以双黄换一红下场的人选
其他阿根廷球员的抱怨就...他们可以抱怨裁判不好啦
但阿根廷是得利的那边吧
