that there has been inconsistency, with favoritism toward the bigger football countries, especially Argentina. I seriously doubt they would have overturned the goal had it been Argentina, especially Messi, that scored a goal like that. I read a stat this morning that Argentina have received a card every 22 fouls. Compare that to England, who have received a card every 7 fouls. And it isn't like Argentina doesn't engage in physical play. It is no different than the top leagues, where the bigger teams often get more favorable officiating.
