Have you already yelled at the TV during a soccer match? The World Cup is back, and so are soccer memes! And with it comes one of soccer's main sources of debate: the referee's decisions. Whether you agree or disagree with the referee's call, suddenly, you feel like an expert in soccer rules, ready to question every yellow card from the comfort of your couch.  

The World Cup just started, and the memes are already going crazy. It's time to gather with friends, family, or even a group of strangers at a bar to watch your country's match and start a debate over every foul and every offside that goes against your team.

Referees are just trying their best. Their job is one of the toughest jobs in sports. No matter what decision they make, many people will disagree with them and feel they are unqualified to do their jobs. And no matter if they're actually doing it right, they will forever be questioned by any person on the planet watching the match from their couch and feeling better at it than them.  

But they're part of the chaos that comes with the World Cup. And they are perfect content for memes. So whether you complain about their choices, you celebrate them, or you question them, referees are always ready to hear you yelling at the TV like your analysis is going to change the score. It actually won't, but at least you can laugh at these soccer memes!
