The Pakistani team was not happy with a number of decisions given by the refree during the final. As a result they felt they lost the gold medal due to incompetent refreeing. When the medal ceremony took place the Pakistani players took off their shoes and put the silver medals on it. As a result the Pakistani hockey team was banned from international matches for a number of years.

^^ Well actually the Argentine ref did give some very, very dodgy decisions. Pak was definitely the better team, even though Germany were playing at home.
