Group A: Mexico, South Africa, South Korea, Czech Republic

That was a red, DOGSO. Altitude is going to severely effect these Mexican games, especially teams who aren't acclimatised.

[Finnegan]

Waiting for the news that some friend of Donald Trump made record amounts betting there'd be three red cards.

Someone, somewhere, is half way through a bag of coke celebrating those 3 red cards

[Jattdogg]

Cartels betting big on red cards? Lol

Marcin Wasilewski would have had a lifetime ban, if he played with this ref in charge.

This is the type of ref you get on pro clubs. 

[Stuntman_Mike]

I still can't believe just how flat this crowd has been.

Benalouane would be in solitary for life.

Lads stop complaining and appreciate the Azteca as the last true footballing Mecca on earth. Look at it 😍😍😍

[Super_horns]

Hopefully not going to be a theme .

Soft looking red cards .

Mexico been the better team unsurprisingly.

Ruining players tournaments on the first game 

I’m guessing Mexico will appeal theirs and SA maybe also appeal the second one. Madness. Assuming appeals are allowed… god knows with FIFA organising it 

[Vlad the Fox]

Remember back in Mexico 86 there was scandal about poor referring. Think back then they just used local league refs.

 

Let some Argentinian dwarf punch the ball into the net.

At least he'd EARN it, I guess?

TURN THE MUSIC UP LADS

[AjcW]

This ref is getting deported faster than the Somalian fella  

[foxfanazer]

Shambles already

[The Horse's Mouth]

World Cup? More like woke cup with these referring decisions!

Yeah I have been a bit disappointed, I guess it comes down to the ticket prices, probably keeping away a lot of ultras/working class, replaced with tourists and middle class 

[foxile5]

I'm looking forward to seeing how PSR gets involved here.

They'll have to get Trump to write an executive order for it to be overturned. Or pay £1m in 'compo'

Honestly surprised he already isn’t inside to be honest.

Is that a new record for red cards at a WC game?

4. 

 

2006. The infamous Portugal vs Netherlands game!

Bad tackle? Believe it or not straight to jail
