This is WP:LISTCRUFT. Not notable on its own. If properly sourced it might be included with 2002 FIFA World Cup but as a standalone article it's wholly negative and unbalanced. Tchaliburton (talk) 14:01, 9 July 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete, don't merge - every tournament has some refereeing decisions which are deemed "dodgy" by fans or the press but which don't have any lasting significance or impact. This is the case here, a standlone article collating these really isn't justified -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 19:08, 9 July 2014 (UTC)

 * Comment 2002 FIFA World Cup already includes discussion of controversial decisions including in Spain vs South Korea and Italy vs South Korea. Probably remaining content could be merged. --Colapeninsula (talk) 13:39, 10 July 2014 (UTC)
