David Beckham was similarly criticism by England fans after his red card in the 1998 World Cup match against Argentina. The score was tied 2-2 when Beckham was sent off for kicking out at Diego Simeone. The dismissal was a major turning point in the game, as England went on to lose on penalties. The English media and fans heavily criticised Beckham, with some even labelling him a villain.
