Fifa World Cup: 9 million sign petition to kick out Argentina, citing referee favouritism

More than 9 million people have signed an online petition demanding Argentina’s expulsion from the World Cup. The campaign was set up amid allegations of referee favouritism, which the team’s manager has dismissed as impossible to pull off in the era of VAR. The petition, hosted on argentinaout.com, went viral recently after calling for the reigning world champions to be disqualified from the tournament in North America.
