Argentina u20 0 - 0 England u20
WC 2011 u20 group stage · 2011-08-01 Referee: Walter Lopez Castellanos

Stand as a team fall as a team

Poor card management

He obviously overlooked at least 3 YCs and 1 RC. None can deny the brutal kick by Pereya(ARG) is a red. Things happened in front of the referee. How can he let such things happen? There should be no tolerance for such moves especially in youth tournaments. Argentinian players bacame more agressive when they realized that referee doesnt caution such movements.

Assistants...UPDATED

I have taken a look at Law11 of FIFA football rules and I realized that I have to change and update sth on Min32 issue. After watching approximately 10 times, half of ENG attacker's body seems to be in offside. There was a misjudgement made by me on issue whether to apply the rule with legs or rest of body. I would like to apologise asist. ref and congragulate him for impressive judgement. I had to open this paragraph. Because, there were so many critical decisions by ARs throughout the game. Most of them resulted in critical goal attempts. Apart from this, Min74 was another disputable minute when same AR has flagged another offside immediately without considering active/passive player positions. It seems all of offside decisions were critical and correct. http://www.abload.de/image.php?img=offsidewwvs.jpg

Good sides

He is a really control-referee. He warned and talked to players too much not to create a tense throughout the game
