In 2010, we had a shot that landed clearly two yards behind the goalline ignored by two match officials who simply waved 'play on' to the Germans. You look on some of the photo stills and the ball is so far back in the goal that the sheer audacity of Neuer defies belief. Then there's the blatant Maradona handball and the Koeman farce in '93, etc. With the Maradona one the referee justified it by basically admitting he was having ongoing problems with his eyesight.
We've had objectively three of the most famous refereeing gaffes of all time go against us.
"Objectively"...
Well... your only WC was decided by a goal that wasn't a goal...
- I also remember the robbery of the 1996 Euro, Spain was hardcore robbed against England (2 completely legal goals disallowed + 1 penalty).
- De Jong red card in the 2010 final still to be given. It is still difficult to understand wtf happened in the brain of the referee to not show the red card.
- 1994 WC quarterfinals, minute 90 (italy 2-1 up at that moment) and Tasotti literally breaks Luis Enrique's nose who bleeds profusely in a cross, not penalty/red card given. Tassotti was given 8 games ban by FIFA after the game.
- 2002 vs Corea (2 legal goals disallowed, one that was closer to a penalty and another one where the ball was inside the pitch by 50cm) (also Italy's game was horrible) is one of the biggest scandals of all time, only compared to what we could witness in the first editions
- 1938 WC that Mussolini bought (mainly vs Spain who was heavily robbed and also, Austria). One goal disallowed by off side and it was a personal play. Referee disallowed at first, then conceded the italian goal after talking to them. 7 out of 11 Spanish players couldnt play the rematch (zamora even had his ribs broken). In the rematch, 2 more goals were disallowed to Spain, the referee of this match was banned forever by his federation.
So well... they are famous to you because... those were against you, but they are far away from what Spain suffered.
Besides, it is shocking that nobody saw the Lampard's goal, it was blatant, but the Maradonan's hand is not easy to see (actually, like the 1966 WC goal, it wasn't a goal but it was close). The robberies committed to Spain that I mentioned were all absolutely blatant, and some of them (Corea 2002, Italy 1938) where pure corruption.
