Referee bias allegations in World Cup
The England vs. Ghana match at the 2026 World Cup sparked widespread controversy over refereeing decisions. There were calls for a penalty to be awarded to Ghana after their forward, Prince Adoo, fell inside the penalty area. However, legal analyses confirmed that the decision not to award a penalty was correct, and the referee was criticized for not using VAR technology. Additionally, questions were raised about why Jude Bellingham was not penalized for covering his mouth while talking to a Ghanaian player, which is legally permitted in the context of normal conversation, despite the introduction of a new rule aimed at regulating such situations. These events reignited the debate over the effectiveness of VAR technology and the limits of applying the new rules in the world's biggest football tournament.
