Argentina advanced to the semifinals of the World Cup after beating the Netherlands on penalties (2-2, 4-2 p.), in a match in which Mateu Lahoz's performance left much to be desired. Leo Messi and Emiliano Martínez were emphatic against the Spanish

Mateu Lahoz Was in the eye of the hurricane during the Low Countries-Argentina. The referee of the Valencian committee was duramente criticised by the players of the 'albiceleste' by his disciplinary sanctions, mainly in the played previous to the free shot that derived in the Dutch tie on the 90+10'. In spite of the classification, Leo Messi and Emiliano 'Dibu' Martínez, loaded against the Spanish referee in his statements to the means.

In first in heaving the voice against Mateu was Lionel, the one who knows it very well after his years in the FC Barcelona. For the Argentinian captain, the performance of the Valencian referee was not to the height of a so important crash. "I do not want to speak of the referee because you can not say what think or be sincere because immediately they sanction you several parties, but the FIFA has to it to him pose", said the '10'.

Besides, the rosarino left another 'stick' to the referee. "It can not put a referee like this in this instance, for a party of so much equality, so important. The people saw what was, we before the party had fear because we know what was", manifested Messi. Lahoz Finished desquiciando to the players of both selections and lost the control of the party in the final stretch, showing a total of 14 yellow cards (8 to Argentina).

Another that did not lose opportunity in criticising to Mateu was 'Dibu' Martínez, figure in the batch of penaltis with two stops. "It touched us the worst referee of the World-wide of far. The referee do not know what earned in the free shot, gave 10 minutes of time added. It wanted to that us empataran. It is a madness this referee, an arrogant. You say him something and speaks you bad... As it remained it was Spain think that wanted to that we remained we was also", sentenced the goalkeeper of the Aston Villa.

The 'Kun' also left his message to Mateu

Another that criticised to the Spanish referee was Sergio 'Kun' Agüero, the one who warned the mistaken attitude of Mateu from the first part. "East arbitrate as it likes him call the attention mine God", wrote the 'Kun' in his account of Twitter. Lahoz Gave 10 minutes of addition, something exaggerated considering that there were not so many interruptions during the 90 statutory. Clearly, the Spanish will not direct more in Qatar.
