Was referee good enough to officiate World Cup semi-final? France head coach after loss to Spain

France head coach Didier Deschamps questioned whether referee Ivan Barton was good enough to officiate a World Cup semi-final after his team's 0-2 defeat to Spain. "I'm not saying this just because we lost today...There were quite a few situations. There were some favourable calls, too," he said. Barton awarded Spain an early penalty after Lucas Digne kicked Lamine Yamal.
