All-time World Cup sinners

Antonio Rattin The England-Argentina rivalry goes way back. In a 1966 World Cup quarter-final, Argentina captain Antonio Rattin led a cynical approach full of hard tackling and attempted intimidation. He was warned and cautioned by the German referee who finally lost his patience, sending Rattin off in the 35th minute—only the Argentinian refused to leave the pitch. He waged a senseless debate with the ref—neither spoke the other’s language—before finally leaving and taking a seat on a red carpet meant exclusively for the Queen of England.
