Where a pass is made to the Onside player yet an Offside player on the opposite side of the field is flagged for Offsides.

I'll supply an image when I see this condition again, to prove my point.

Also in the WC this year, I've seen fouls called outside the pentalty area, but the same foul not being called inside the penalty area. Almost like the referees were told not to award penalty kicks, unless a player is literally mugged or an obvious hand ball occurred.

Also, a lot more jersey pulling & arm/body holding then previous WC matches.
