Spanish official Antonio Mateu Lahoz has reportedly been sent home from the FIFA World Cup after criticism from Argentina icon Lionel Messi. Lahoz was in charge of the highly controversial quarter-final clash between Argentina and the Netherlands. The match was marred by questionable officiating from the 45-year-old, who brandished 18 yellow cards and one red card throughout the night.
