Which ONE match contained the biggest concentration of refball in the history of the sport? We're talking amount of refball so blatant it cannot be defended even by the most ardent fans. .
The first thing that comes to mind is Chelsea v Barcelona CL 2009, but maybe I'm missing a better example. As a refresher, some of the talking points from the match: >In the 24th minute, Ovrebo whistled for a Dani Alves foul on Florent Malouda. The infringement happened just inside the box, but the ref instead gave Chelsea a free kick right on the edge. >Three minutes later, Eric Abidal clashed with Drogba in the box after the Ivorian was played through by Lampard. Drogba went to ground, but Ovrebo wasn’t interested. >In the second half, Ovrebo correctly issued Abidal a straight red in the 65’ for taking out Anelka outside the box as the last defender. However, in the 82’ minute, Ovrebo’s clear angle on a blatant Pique handball somehow led to nothing. >Being denied another penalty even after Iniesta's goal, Ballack and Drogba losing their shit, Drogba shouting "It's a fucking disgrace!" as he was being dragged out of the stadium
Either Italy-South Korea or Spain-South Korea at the 2002 WC

1995 rugby world cup, the amount of refball and corruption was insane, South Africa was just out of apartheid and everything has been done to make sure SA would win their home world cup They didn't even try to hide it and publicly gave a gold watch to a referee during an official post-WC banquet and praised his contribution to SA winning the title. The semi-final was the biggest refball I ever seen, and for the final they just food poisonned the opponent (half the team was puking on the field during the final).
>and for the final they just food poisonned the opponent (half the team was puking on the field during the final). Is this true? I've never even heard of this.

Also, the 1972 Olympics basketball final is a legendary refball moment

Yeah, the secretary of the state claimed that car alarms were set off all night and the all blacks were purposely poisoned. If true, this was mostly done to promote the idea of Mandela being a great, peaceful man, a publicity stunt.
