Bad referees at World Cup

Dear editor,

Some of the games in the World Cup in South Africa were unfair, because the referees were bad.

First, in the game between Germany and England, an English soccer player scored a goal and it was over the goal line but the referee declared it was not a goal.

Second, in the game between Argentina and Mexico, an Argentine soccer player was off-side and scored a goal. It was a foul, but the referee allowed the goal.

Besides these, there were a lot of other wrong decisions. Although the referees were bad judges, FIFA allowed their calls. Many participating nations in the World Cup were damaged. I think it was obviously unfair, so FIFA has to look at new rules.
