Several controversial referee decisions impacted games at the 2010 World Cup: 1) Frank Lampard's clear goal for England against Germany was missed; 2) Swiss player Behrami was wrongly given a red card versus Chile; 3) Carlos Tevez's offside goal for Argentina against Mexico stood; and 4) Maurice Edu's late goal for the US versus Slovenia was unfairly ruled out. Additionally, Klose's sending off for Germany against Serbia contributed to their early upset loss.
