World Cup fans order FIFA to ban Argentina star before England clash after breaking rules
World Cup supporters argue Lautaro Martinez should be suspended for the semi‑final against England after celebrating his goal by climbing into the crowd while already on a yellow card, an action that rules require be cautioned. Fans on social media and Reddit claim the referee and VAR failed to apply the law, especially after Switzerland’s Breel Embolo received a second yellow through a VAR‑assisted mistaken‑identity ruling, prompting strong criticism from Swiss manager Murat Yakin. The controversy follows earlier VAR disputes involving Argentina, as England prepare to face them in the semi‑final.
