Refs the culprits!

The standard of refereeing at the World Cup has inevitably come under the microscope, with some controversial decisions and claims that some officials aren't up to the job.
Refereeing on the world’s biggest stage is a dream come true, but it can also be a thankless task with players and coaches free to lash out without the official able to answer back.
FIFA appointed 30 referees from 28 countries for the tournament and many have been praised for their fitness and keeping their cards in their pockets, but some decisions have been questioned.
One of the most high-profile came when Mali's Koman Coulibaly disallowed Maurice Edu's goal for the United States in the 85th minute of their2-2 drawwith Slovenia, denying them a vital win and sparking an outcry in the United States.
the Ivory Coast, while he allowed Luis Fabiano's second goal to stand despite a clear double handball.
To make matters worse, Lannoy was seen laughing with Fabiano after the incident.
Nevertheless, FIFA's head of refereeing Jose-Marcia Garcia-Aranda told reporters that overall he was satisfied with the performances, but also said mistakes were inevitable.
"We are trying to improve those decisions that we consider are not good enough and for that reason we are training every day," he said.
Referees are, of course, human, and it inevitably brings up the question again of whether video technology should be used.
FIFA president Sepp Blatter has previously spoken out against the use of cameras, arguing that they would interrupt the flow of the game, although he appears to have softened his stance more recently.
The pressure was turned up on Blatter fol-
South Africa coach Carlos Parreira, meanwhile, blasted Swiss referee Massimo Busacca for reducing his team to 10 men in their 3-0 loss to Uruguay that crippled their dream ofWorld Cup advancement.
"He is the worst referee in this competition," Parreira said." I hope we don't see his face again in any game anymore. He probably does not deserve to be here."
And on Monday, Switzerland defender Stephane Grichting attacked Saudi Arabian referee Khalil Al Ghamdi who was in charge of their 1-0 defeat against Chile which saw nine bookings and a sending-off.
"At 11 against 11 we would have had a different match. The problem was that we came up against a referee that week in, week out is officiating in the first or second division," he said.
"But here he is at an international level and so he isn't up to the standard. And we saw that throughout the entire game."
French referee Stephane Lannoy also came under fire for sending off Brazil's Kaka against
lowing Thierry Henry's controversial handball which led to France’s extra-time winner against the Republic of Ireland in their World Cup qualifying play-off.
Concern has also been raised that referees need to do more to protect the flair players of the tournament, like Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Portugal's Ronaldo, who picked up a booking for diving in their opening game, said the top stars need more protection than they are currently getting.
"I don't understand the decisions of the referees sometimes," said Ronaldo. "They are supposed to protect the best players."
Argentina coach Diego Maradona, meanwhile, urged referees to do more to enforce fair play.
"This is football and not kung fu fighting. So I don't think yet we've seen the fair play we want to see," he said after his captain Javier Mascherano was booked in their game against South Korea.
