Canadian assistant referee Joe Fletcher took the snub by a Fifa official, said to be former Ghana international Tony Baffour, completely in his stride before Wednesday’s World Cup match between Spain and Chile.

Casillas wasn’t laughing for long though as Spain went on to lose the game 2-0 and the defending champions were eliminated from the World Cup.
