In the past, referee misjudgments and omissions were commonplace in the football world, and have become a part of the football game.
However, some misjudgments and omissions are so important that they appear at the juncture that determines the outcome of a game, directly affecting the final trend of a game, affecting the whole body, and ultimately affecting the overall situation of the game, and even changing the history of football.
This kind of "X factor" that breaks the balance of the game, the teams that benefit from it often pretend to be deaf and dumb, and even sell well when they get cheap, but the injured teams are often dumb and eat coptis, which is more wronged than Dou E.
Today, let's take a look at the five biggest whistles in world football. All of them appear at the fateful moment of international competition, the moment of life and death. A misjudgment that ruined everything in the game, and the injured team fought hard to the end but fell short, such a football black spot should be fully exposed and nailed to the pillar of shame in history.
Otherwise, it is not enough to demonstrate the fairness and justice of competitive sports.
First, in the 1/8 finals of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, Germany 4:1 England, the goal-line injustice
In the 1/8 finals of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, the European powerhouse England and Germany met in a narrow way. England have a luxurious squad, with the duo (Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard) at their peak, and Wayne Rooney, one of the four kings, sharpening his knives. On the German side, the future tragic corkscrew Muller started the game, Klose and Podolski both slapped the door, and the battle was about to break out like a growing volcano.
But as soon as the game began, the German was in complete control of the tempo. Klose stabbed the shot, Podolski took advantage of the victory to chase down the next goal, and the German tank took an early 2-0 lead.
Awakening from a dream, England began to organize a counter-attack, and they played extremely tenaciously and frequently put pressure on the German defence. In the 37th minute of the first half, Upson pulled one back with a header, and the situation instantly improved.
England, who pulled the goal back, were in high spirits and poured out like enraged swarms, and the Germans, who had always been as steady as Tarzan, were a little flustered. In the 38th minute, Frank Lampard won the ball on the line of the penalty area and unleashed a brilliant long-range shot, goalkeeper Manuel Neuer looked at the ball and sighed, and the ball bounced off the crossbar and was held by Neuer.
The footage clearly showed that the ball had completely crossed the goal line, but Uruguayan referee La Leonda did not see the ball cross the line and blew the goal away.
This equaliser and game-changing goal was ignored by the referee. After that, the morale of the England team plummeted, and in the second half they played more and more impatiently, on the contrary, the German team counterattacked wave after wave, and Muller took the opportunity to score two goals in a row to kill the game, 4:1, Germany defeated England to eliminate the opponent and advance.
The misjudgment of this game sparked heated discussions among fans, some said that it was retribution for England to win the World Cup in 1966 with a disgraceful goal-line goal.
It is said that after the game, some of the aggressive English players threatened the personal safety of the referee on duty, La Leonda, who had to find an unknown house and hide for a long time.
The misjudgment was an eternal pain in Lampard's heart, as he could have used it to open the scoring at the World Cup and achieve a goal of zero, but all that dream was ruined. The "magic lamp" has won numerous honours at club level, but it is still a blank in the national team.
Second, the 2002 South Korea-Japan World Cup 1/4 finals, Spain 3:5 South Korea, black whistle injustice
In that game, the referee and the linesman played together, and they pursued the principle: I will blow if you enter Spain, and blow as much as you enter.
At that time, although Spain was not as perverted as winning three consecutive world championships, it was already quite luxurious compared to South Korea, the "Lord of the Rings" Raul was responsible for expanding the territory, and the bullfighter Puyol was in charge of the defense line to guard the city, but the South Korean team had 13 people, because they had one more linesman and referee.
In the first half, there were no shocks and there were attacks and defenses against each other, and in the second half, the referee was powerful.
In the second half, Spain took advantage of a free-kick opportunity to break the deadlock first, and just as the players were about to celebrate the goal, Egyptian referee Handour suddenly blew the whistle and signaled that the Spanish team had committed a foul and the goal was invalidated.
But judging from the slow motion of the replay, there was no obvious foul action by the Spanish player, which was a clear miscalculation.
In extra time, Joaquín assisted Morientes to score and Spain took the lead again. But this time it was the linesman Lagunas who played the leading role, and he signaled that the ball was out of bounds before Joaquin's pass, and the goal was invalid! However, the slow view of the replay once again showed that the ball was not out of bounds, which was another obvious miscalculation.
In the end, under the protection of the referee team, the South Korean team successfully dragged the game into a penalty shootout. In the penalty shootout, the pressure exerted by tens of thousands of fans at the scene made the Spanish players fluctuate, Casillas was still a rookie who did not know the world at that time, and had not yet been upgraded to the later "San Cassi", and one of the five penalties was not saved. In the end, South Korea defeated Spain 5:3 on penalties and entered the semi-finals in a historic way.
In the face of this incredible achievement, the commentator Liu Jianhong at the time said bluntly: This is not the glory of Asian players, but the shame of Asian players.
Third, the 1966 World Cup final in England, Germany 2:4 England, goal-line injustice
In the 1966 World Cup, the England team, known as the "European Chinese team", took advantage of the host's advantage to go all the way to the final, and they finally smelled the fragrance of the championship trophy.
But the opponent was very strong and stood in front of them like a wall, and this "wall" was the West German team led by Beckenbauer.
The final was held at Wembley Stadium. England's key player is Charlton Athletic, and West Germany is jealous of his attacking talent and has Beckenbauer dedicated to the defence. But the rest of England's players stepped up. Striker He's stepped up to help England equalise in the 18th minute before netting a second-half goal for England.
But German tanks are not covered. Germany's Weber equalised in the 89th minute to send the game to extra time.
And in extra time, there was a dramatic scene. Hurst was red-eyed and hit the crossbar of the German goal with a heavy shot, but it bounced off the ground and bounced off again. Due to the speed of the ball, no one could tell if the ball had crossed the goal line by the time it bounced.
The technology at the time was limited, the video was very blurry, and the camera didn't find the right angle to confirm. The German goalkeeper insisted that the ball had not gone in, and the England player insisted that the ball had gone in.
Eventually, after a brief discussion among the referees, they hesitantly announced that the goal was valid, and Wembley Stadium burst into cheer.
With this controversial goal, England's morale was boosted, and they soon scored another goal to seal the victory. In the end, England won 4-2 to win the first and only World Cup title in history.
It is worth mentioning that in the 13 consecutive World Cups, the England team has never entered the World Cup finals.
Fourth, the 2004 Asian Cup final, Japan 3:1 China, handball injustice
At that time, the Chinese team had Li Jinyu and Li Yi in the front, Shao Jiayi, Li Ming, Li Xiaopeng, Zheng Zhi in the midfield, Li Weifeng in the back, Sun Jihai, a famous man in Manchester City, and Yan Song, a breakthrough player comparable to Mbappe on the side.
At that time, the Chinese team was full of expectations, not to mention the world's strongest team, at least it was also the top in Asia. In the 2004 Asian Cup held on home soil, all Chinese fans felt that China could take advantage of the home advantage to win the first Asian championship in history.
In fact, the Chinese team got their wish to reach the final of the Asian Cup, and the final opponent was the Japanese team, and they bumped all the way, barely eliminated Bahrain and Jordan, and met the Chinese team in the final.
In the final, the Chinese team and Japan played five and five in the first half, and each side scored a goal. But in the second half, China gradually took the initiative on the field, and the Japanese team had no choice but to offer a long pass rushing and hanging play, but the commentator said confidently at the time: This style of play is not threatening.
But everyone calculated everything, but they didn't count that the Japanese team came to a hand of God.
In the 66th minute of the game, Japan won a corner kick. Koji Nakata slapped the ball into the goal with his hand in a goalmouth scuffle, but referee Al-Fahari signaled that the goal was valid on the spot, and this mistake became the turning point of the whole game.
The Chinese team was then forced to press the whole army, and Japan was able to counterattack with ease, and before the end, the Japanese team relied on the counterattack to score another goal to lock the victory, and the Chinese team lost unjustly.
After the game, the faces of the Chinese players who came to the stage to receive the award were full of grievances and helplessness, in fact, the team, including the fans, were psychologically prepared for losing, after all, Japan was stronger, but I didn't expect the Chinese team to lose in such a way.
After that game, countless national football fans spent sleepless nights, and then suffered from depression for several days.
That game also became a turning point for the national football team from prosperity to decline. In the subsequent World Cup qualifiers, the national football team was unexpectedly eliminated by Kuwait, which opened the historical fate of seeing who lost and who lost.
Fifth, 2002 South Korea-Japan World Cup 1/8 finals, Italy 1:2 South Korea, black whistle case
In the 2002 World Cup 1/8 finals, the European male model team Italy faced the Asian Taiji Tiger South Korea, before the game, fans thought that this was a game without suspense, Italy as the favorite to win the championship, it was natural to step on the corpse of the South Korean team and advance with their heads held high.
But by all accounts, Italy and all neutral fans could not have imagined that their opponent was not South Korea, but the referee on duty, Moreno.
That Italy was extremely strong, Materazzi, Buffon, Gattuso, Totti, Piero, Inzaghi, etc. all appeared, and the lineup was luxurious to the extent that even the current civilian Italians can't help but laugh. But just 3 minutes and 50 seconds into the game, Moreno gave South Korea an unwarranted penalty. But Ahn Jung-hwan's limpy shot was saved by Buffon.
After that, the game became a complete show time for the referees, and we break down the controversial decisions in that game:
South Korean player Yoo Sang-teol's brutal movements directly shattered the eyebrow bone of Italian defender Koko, and Moreno did not indicate it;
South Korea's Kim Tae-young elbowed Italian striker Piero in defence, but Moreno did not indicate it;
Huang Shanhong kicked Zambrotta in the crotch, and the latter fell to the ground in pain and could not continue the game, which was an obvious red card referee Moreno did not indicate;
In the first half of extra time, South Korean player Song Jong Kook tripped Totti in a foul in the penalty area, Moreno did not give Italy a penalty, but instead sentenced Totti to fake a fall, and the Roman prince received a red card and left the field unjustly.
In the second half of extra time, Italy scored a goal and Moreno signalled for Thomas offside, and Italy's goal was disallowed.
In the end, the morale of the Italian defense was slack, and South Korean player Ahn Jung-hwan scored a golden goal, 2-1, South Korea eliminated Italy to advance.
After the game, fans around the world criticized South Korea and the referee on duty. In September of that year, during his campaign for the Quito City Council, Moreno was sentenced to a 20-match suspension and was investigated by the Ecuadorian football authorities.
In 2010, Moreno was arrested at New York City's John F. Kennedy International Airport.
It is said that the Italians, in order to remember this incomparable referee, also renamed the 4 public urinals on the Messina seaside "Moreno".
But all this does not prevent South Koreans from hilarious behind closed doors, and they feel that they deserve to eliminate Italy. When the media around the world are questioning them, the Korean media said: You can't deny the birth of the myth. The face of the nation's most unaffordable nation in the world is clearly revealed.
So this match became the most notorious match in the history of the World Cup, and there was no one. The image of "fair play" in South Koreans is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
