Blatant fouls went unpunished. Goals were wiped out by offside calls the replays never supported. And when fans asked why, there was no one to answer to. We're organizing a boycott until FIFA fixes it.
This isn't about one bad call. It's a pattern — one side played by different rules, and the people meant to enforce fairness looked away.
Challenges that would draw a yellow — sometimes a red — anywhere else in the tournament were waved play-on, again and again, whenever Argentina was the team committing them.
The opposition scores. The flag goes up. The replay shows daylight between the players. The goal stays disallowed anyway.
There's no public channel to challenge an officiating decision, no transparency on how linesmen are reviewed, and no consequence when they get it wrong.
This is the call fans keep bringing up: a goal chalked off for offside, with no gap between attacker and last defender.
The attacker in white is level with the defender in red — not beyond them. Under the letter of the law, that's an onside goal. The flag went up anyway, and the goal never counted.
One call doesn't make a boycott. A season of them does.
Every signature is one more fan telling FIFA the current standard of officiating isn't good enough. We'll deliver the list, publicly, with names attached.
