London: FIFA is being sued to the tune of 1 billion euros for bad refereeing by a Colombian lawyer.

Seventy-four-year-old Aurelio Jimenez has sued FIFA because of the emotional and physical distress caused to him by bad refereeing. Jimenez says he had to be taken to hospital with cardiac problems because of referee Carlos Velasco Carballo's mistakes in Brazil's quarter-final win over Colombia.
