The World Cup is the biggest stage in world football and not only do players from all over the World come together to compete and perform but so do referees. With officials from every corner of the World you can expect some inconsistencies, however the decisions below are just outright ridiculous.
Andoni Goikoetxea Olaskoaga is nowhere near as a catch a name as “The Butcher of Bilbao” and this challenge on a very young Diego Maradona is a famous one. It left the young Argentine with a broken ankle, just one of a series of calamities that faced the Barcelona man during his two seasons at the Catalan club. As the end of this video attests, Diego attempted to get his own back on Athletic Bilbao when the sides met in the Cup Final by kicking anything with a pulse. Crazy!
