If you identify with a player or the referee or one of the teams then you will of course react to the situation.
To remain at peace you need to be exterior to the game and all its sub-games.
You are just watching a contest between all parties INVOLVED so you see the multiple games going on but are not emotionally affected by who wins or loses.
It might help to think:
Who will care 100 years from now?
Who cares on the other side of the planet?
These are exterior very detached viewpoints so do not rouse emotional responses in these persons in remote locations in time or space.
Assume such a remote unaffected viewpoint yourself and just observe the multiple games being played. Team versus team is a game, player versus player within the game is another game, referee- was he bribed? Is another game.
Observe and file the information away as at the most interesting(you were watching so it was interesting to you) make judgements like: some people cheat, some referees get bribed or are blind or have taken sides etc.
Now carry on with life.
What are you doing that is important to you and your family and your community. Put your attention on those things.
Keep on TROMing
