On June 30, Beijing time, for the first time, the biggest controversy in the Copa America was officially born, the Chilean team directly and publicly pressurized, the American champion refused to swallow his anger, and Argentina was also accused.
The biggest controversy of this Copa America match appeared, just today, when the Chilean team was eliminated from the group and went home, the former Copa America champion directly made a public complaint and bombardment. Chilean officials have officially filed an announcement with FIFA, asking for a permanent ban from referee Roldán in the final Chile vs. Canada match.
The Rordán, a Colombian referee, gave a controversial penalty in the fourth minute of the game, during which a Canadian No.15 deliberately elbowed Chile's No.18 in the throat and elbowed him hard to the throat.
It's unbelievable that this action is so high-tech now, and VAR is prevalent, that it was not chased by the referee and given a red card. Because it's true that this is a retaliatory elbow action, it should obviously be punished straight red, but you have a var on the spot, why not use it now? Don't they all say that technology saves football? Why is VAR suddenly not used when high-tech is needed now?
Not only that, in the 27th minute of the game, the Chilean player was given a yellow card by VAR, and the two yellow cards turned into red cards and were directly punished, which was incredible. Now you can use high-tech to add Chile's yellow card, which is unheard of, so why didn't you see that elbow to the throat four minutes ago?
And this referee, according to the summary given by the Chilean official and the Chilean Football Association, was when this referee blew the Chilean team for the game, their record was 1 win and 8 losses, and they won one game in 9 games, which was obviously aimed at. At the same time, they also said in the announcement that Chile also suffered unfair blows in the first two games of the Copa America, such as Argentina against Chile in the game, Lautaro's goal has been offside, and Chile did not award a penalty in the game, Argentina won by controversy, relying on the referee's misjudgment to win the offside, plus the penalty was not awarded, otherwise it should be Chile 1:0 instead of Argentina 1:0.
Unexpectedly, this time the defending champion Messi and the Argentine team were also involved, and Chile asked for an indefinite ban on the Roldán referee, which directly stripped this person of the qualification to enforce the game, which is also the craziest Copa America so far. Compared with the previous European Championship, there is indeed controversy, but there is no such extreme scene, that is, the football association of one country requires a permanent ban on a referee.
