Most Controversial World Cup Matches of All Time 

At the end Uruguay didn't get to the final.

Uruguay still cheated. You’re not allowed to use your hands and they can’t put cuffs on you so you don’t do so. Just bc you don’t have cuffs on still doesn’t mean you’re allowed to do so. In the end the wrongful cheaters won

It's not about the referee's decision but rather the action from Suarez, he deflected the ball intentionally with his hand, in a world cup match nonetheless

Yeah because both teams were qualified with that result..

😂😂😂 Crying for 78, then 86, and now 2022. Argentinian have hater tears for years to come.

@@nickbuis3307 World Cup 1978 and 2022 are clearly controversial.

@@olivieru Funny coming from you, aren't you Italian? Look at the 1934 Cup if you like controversy. Thanks for the tears refill. Keep it coming 🇦🇷🏆

@@nickbuis3307 No, I'm not Italian. And 1934 is clearly controversial too but it is not the problem. 2022 is the first world cup ever where a team receives a fake penalty at almost every game.

@@olivieru "Fake penalty" is your opinion, not facts, yeah sure a penalty might be controversial, but it's part of the game and there is a lot of "first" given against Argentina and it doesn't invalidate a victory. I hardly see people complain about the penalty not given to Argentina in 2014 which clearly was caused by Neuer or the bad penalty given against Argentina in 1990 5 minutes towards the end, it's the first ever penalty given in a final and also in that match Argentina received the first red card in a final and that doesn't not invalidate Germany winning. Also, Argentina is the first to receive two penalties against them in a final. These are not complains but just pointing out that penalties, red cards and controversy are part of football and Argentina had their fair share against and in favor, but the resilience of the team pushed through and that's the truth. People who cry rigged are not bassing their opinions on facts but are just people who can't accept truth and then cry. With VAR being a thing, penalties will be more common now, especially with teams that are aggressive in their attacks, and people should get used to it. When France became Champions in 2018 with 4 penalties, one of them against Argentina, nobody blinked an eye, but when Argentina won, the sea of tears is never ending. Both Argentina and France received 6 penalties in their favor between 2018 and 2022, France had 3 of those 6 against Argentina alone. Facts are facts, and the anti Argentina bias is just people who can't accept defeat.

Until Argentina came along.

Sure he does 🤣🤣🤣.

Keep crying

W Germany vs Austria in 84 was a cruel cheat with Algeria as the victims. A shame in football history. But W Germany vs France was except for that brutal foul on Bossis from the German goalkeeper a really good match, first ever match during a World Cup to be decided by penalty shootout. And probably the most entertaining overtime one may ever see in a football match.

Cela n' a pas été prouvé. La RFA avait aussi de très bons joueurs. Déjà, les matchs contre l'Uruguay et le Brésil avaient un énorme impact au niveau physique (c'est étaient des "casseurs").

dobing and robbed

1934 Italy under Mussolini was the worst as I read..

Argentinians and especially the little druggy Maradona , are the biggest cheats in football. Love it when they lose.

That was unintended by referees. Yes Maradona cheated a little but it wasn't rigged. Even the English team didn't claim it until they saw replay.

Из итальянского клуба

Whaow : you call hat "fun" ?

Никто никого не выгонял.. Не помню какой клуб именно из Италии почти подписал игрока из сборной Южной Кореи.. Они передумали его подписывать, когда он им забил решающий гол.

Just like Bulgarian striker letchkov in 94 after scoring against Germany.

In 1978 world cup, Sweden vs Brazil it happened as well.

La Liga referees learned from him😂

Just my thoughts. They did the same thing to Real Madrid yesterday :D@@skojuzija

​@@skojuzijaLos madridistas siempre están diciendo que les quitan goles, los goles anulados por falta ó fuera de juego no existen, diga lo que diga el Madrid, por cierto, el árbitro de ese partido ya avisó a los jugadores de que no iba a permitir la segunda jugada porque ya se había cumplido el tiempo, ¿y qué pasó? Que pitó el final cuando el Madrid dió el centro e iba por el aire, además, los dos goles del Madrid ¡eran ilegales!

What was "controversial" about that?

​@@stxa2594 Just search "1982 Battiston Schumacher" (warning: it's quite disturbing stuff).

​​@@stxa2594 a goalkeeper named Harold Schumacher injured a french player by dive to him and the referee call it as a goal kick Edit the french player is patrick battison

His name is Byron Moreno, for anyone interested.

Yes, and ?

​@@olivieru¿Y? Que un corrupto siempre es un corrupto

@@domingocarbonperal5712 no.

We all know. Not anything new.

You're mixing up a lot of things. Aside from Schumacher's unsportsmanlike behaviour, nothing at all was "controversial" about that match. Actually that match was one of the finest of 1982's WC (I watched it live on TV). It was a fierce fight, and the French simply failed to finish the job. And if you know the German spirit back then (Ich bin übrigens auch Deutscher ;-) ) you should know that German teams were only beaten after the referee blew the final whistle. Besides, the blame for that awful group-stage match against Austria should actually be on FIFA for fixing such a silly tournament schedule (in 1978 they had made the very same mistake, enabling Argentina to become an unjustified champion instead of Brazil).

@@stxa2594 Gruesse ;). Im not mixing up anything. All those things happened in the game and leading up to the game. Ironically also the very next World Cup Germany again was behind by 2 in the final, and never gave up and came back against Argentina to tie it.......and then Maradona assist to put Argentina back up. But with this German team got reputation for never give up attitude.

​@@rubberroast1598 Gruß zurück. Did you actually read what I wrote? Then why are you lecturing about facts I just posted. You could wake me up any time in the middle of the night, and I would know everything from watching the 82 and 86 world cups by heart. ;-)

Just Karma for WC 1966 Final, digga

Ghana could have went through the semi final if suarez hadnt done that

Totti did dive like he was on swimming pool. With golden goal, that would deserve a direct red card.

korean people must fell shame on it, what a disgraceful tournament in 2002, all fifa corrupted and a world cup ruined

They are not to be forgiven

I remember that one. That ref was brutal. No one, including the players and commentators had any idea why the ref waved the goal off

@@rubberroast1598 He probably just hates the U.S. if we’re being honest

In that game in the 1st half ,a dutch striker was fouled in the penalty area by a mexican player. No penalty was called whatsoever.

It was a foul

A foul is a foul, but I agree he went down easily. Probably also because he got fouled A LOT during that game but didn't get a lot of calls.

​@@ReinierKaper2x obvious diving. Yellow red card instead of penalty...

Robben dived twice and getting nothing, but when he did get the penalty it was a real foul! Funny how so many latin-ameticans complain …… they invented diving

Probably not much. Superficial wounds at the head often bleed a lot and make it seem worse then it is. Looks like a cut at the brow; when this happens in important games they often get stitches and continue playing.

Coco.. he just got cut😊

Did you forgot the final of the euro68, or the world cups 34 or 38.

As a German I would say. The most fucking World Cup in the history was 2002. Italy and Spain robbed by the referee and a fucking German team in the final 😂

Che cazzo Squaddra di Germania 😂

What u mean ?@@zagor1974

I am not Italian but that was the biggest football robbery I have ever seen (Ovrebo a close second, but still not as big as this one). I was actually screaming at the TV when I saw the ref give Totti the red card instead of giving a stonewall penalty to Italy. Disgraceful.

Spain did but nope not Italia

@@유규빈-g3vwhat are you crazy Go and watch full game korea really motherfucking game and refre also

In the video miss the best chance that Italy had had: Vieri missed an easy goal after 1-1 of Korea

as a Korean I feel terribly sorry to Spain... donno about Italy.. they just were not Italy but played dirty too.. so thats how we had to react..

Cry Pendu fan 😂

Just a person that doesnt know about football would do that

Argentina Croatie, too, maybe.

​@olivieru 왜요? 그경기는 논쟁에 여지가 없습니다. 알바레즈는 골키퍼를 재칠려고 하였고, 콜키퍼는 그것을 반칙으로 끊었습니다.

I disagree about the outcome of the tournament. Brazil were by far the best team in 2002, they would have beaten Italy or Spain, too.

Si ce penalty avait été a l'inverse pour la Croatie.Ils l'auraient pris sans sourciller et tout les croates aussi.La qualification aussi avec ce penalty.aussi en cas de qualification de leur part sans sourciller aussi..Ils en auraient eu strictement rien à faire de nous la france.

Absolutely stupid refereeing by Clive Thomas to disallow the Brazil goal.

@@olivieru All missing Korean bookings, while our players were booked for the same fouls.

@@Herzoglucaas far as I remember the referee was indicted for drugs and corruption later

El Raulito hoy en día no se comería ni los mocos, porque la mayoría de los goles que metía los hacía en fuera de juego, y le echó de la selección el seleccionador que hizo que ganaramos la Euro 2008 y encontráramos nuestro estilo porque se creía que el mandaba más que nadie, (todos sabemos de la prepotencia de los madridistas, y que se creen indispensables)

Hala Madrid e nada más
