France and Morocco faced each other in the 2022 World Cup semifinals looking for a place in the decisive match against Argentina. As expected, the game was hard-fought and very physical. And, as has happened several times in the tournament, fans weren’t happy with the referee’s performance.
The match was officiated by Mexican Cesar Ramos. The 38-year-old referee works mostly in Liga MX, and has also taken charge of games in the Concacaf Champions League. During the match between France and Morocco, many fans think he has been very permissive.
Fans of both teams weren’t happy with his decisions, especially an action in which it seemed like Theo Hernandez made a foul in the zone, but he didn’t concede a penalty to Morocco. Meanwhile, France’s fans thought that Kylian Mbappéhad received too many hits.
