Paraguay vs Iraq
This match caused controversy as the referee, Edwin Picon-Ackong, blew the whistle for half time a split-second before Iraq striker Ahmed Radhi's header hit the back of the net, and the goal was ruled out. Picon-Ackong received a lot of criticism for blowing the whistle when Iraq had such a big goalscoring opportunity.[1]

gollark: Punching criminals and whatever else "superheroes" do is probably up there for "least efficient ways to deal with crime".
gollark: What's that, one of those grip strength thingies?
gollark: Does that actually... mean anything meaningful? It doesn't look like, well, a sentence which actually makes sense.
gollark: Generally, you'd hope that you learn approximately what is taught, or it's really bad teaching.
gollark: Sparring is better than... basically doing nothing realistic, which seems to be the alternative.
