Referee Jorge Larrionda and his assistants Mauricio Espinosa and Pablo Fandino will no longer officiate a South Africa 2010 match after their error in the clash between England and Germany.
Larrionda failed to award Lampard a perfectly valid goal in the 4-1 defeat to Joachim Loew's side in Bloemfontein, with television replays showing the Chelsea's star shot off the crossbar had landed two feet over the line.
Remarkably only hours later a terrible decision from linesman Stefano Ayroldi and referee Roberto Rosetti in the Round of 16 clash between Argentina and Mexico on Sunday night allowed a Tevez goal that should have been chalked off for offside to stand.
Fifa president Sepp Blatter was forced to issue an apology following the incidents and has reacted strongly by sending the Uruguayan and Italian officials home.
"I understand they are not happy and that people are criticising," said Blatter.
"I deplore it when you see evident referee mistakes and it is obvious that after the experience so far in this World Cup it would be a nonsense to not reopen the file of technology at the business meeting of the International FA Board in July.
"I apologised to England and Mexico. The English said 'thank you and accepted that you can win [some] and you lose [some], and the Mexicans bowed their head and accepted it."
