The Brazilian referee Wilton Sampaio was in charge of the World Cup clash between England and France.
The 40-year-old referee has been heavily criticized for his performance in today’s World Cup quarterfinals. Fans feel that he was biased towards France with his decision making.
Not only England fans, but also English pundits such as Gary Neville and Gary Lineker did not hold back in criticizing the referee, with the former calling it a “joke”.
England came out of the World Cup with every hope of bringing him home for the first time since 1966 by dying again.
The fans shared their thoughts on how they feel about the referee.
the most rigged match in history pathetic referee england vs france
