The last match of the World Cup that Mateu Laoth whistled was the one between Argentina and the Netherlands.
The Spanish referee has contributed to his decisions since the quarter-finals by losing disciplinary control and handing out a total of 17 yellow cards.
So after managing to provoke protests from both sides (with Lionel Messi stressing that he was not of the right level to be named in such a match and avoiding saying more to avoid punishment), FIFA sent him in home.
And while the investigation that has already started about what happened in the game is continuing, he has been excluded from the semifinals and finals of the competition.
