Algeria lost a football game against Argentina. The score was 0 to 3. People were very angry after the game. The association from Algeria sends a complaint to the FIFA.
The FIFA is the world union for football. Algeria says: The referee made big mistakes. There was a hard foul in minute 31. The world star Lionel Messi kicked the leg of the Algeria captain.
Lionel Messi saw no card for this foul. Many experts say: He should get a red card. A red card is a 'Platz-Verweis'. That means the player must leave the field. But Lionel Messi played on.
Later Lionel Messi scored 2 goals. Algeria calls this a bonus for famous players. Other scenes in the game were also bad. Players used their elbows for attacks.
The 'Video-Assistent' did not help in these scenes. A German referee expert supports Algeria. He also thinks the decision of the referee is wrong.
Argentina plays next against Austria. Algeria must play against Jordan soon. The FIFA did not answer the complaint yet.
