WWC 19 : USA v Chile

Officials were either incompetent or heavily in favour of the US. The ball was blatantly off by a US player but got given as a corner from which they scored, got a penalty via VAR when the foul was outside the box and, a US player escaped a blatant 2nd yellow but a Chilean player then got a caution for less. These were not all either as the ref was certainly more lenient of the Americans in terms of cautions.
 
There is a bit of a theme going in this competition that some teams seem to be getting more than their share of the decisions. I'm also not convinced about quite a few of the VAR penalty decisions - when you slow everything right down it looks like a penalty every time (as long as you are one of the top teams of course!)
