@NuMoToFkU@jayjayr01 without explonation? maybe cause protugal celebrated after a goal dumbass. that adds time yk. do you only watch matches via highlights?
@luma_official_@l3d1c matanovic said that he wasnt sure if he touched it. you know why? cause when a ball brezzes through your hair you arent sure if you did touch it, he touched it with his hair
Some people don't seem to understand why everyone is so outraged about the ๐ญ๐ท Croatia vs. Portugal ๐ต๐น robbery, so let me explain.
It's precisely because multiple things that would have lifted the offside were ignored, multiple things were handled differently than usual, and several suspicious details are present on top of it all.
So it's both the factually false detection of a touch that wasn't there, AND the way it was handled, which raises even more suspicion:
1. Even if Matanoviฤ's head ๐คฏ touched the ball, it didn't change the trajectory -> no offside
2. Even if Matanoviฤ's hair ๐โโ๏ธ touched the ball, hair is excluded in the offside rulebook -> no offside
3. Even if he did touch it with force, Veiga still went for the ball deliberately -> no offside
4. Offside is normally never checked at the screen by the main ref. Normally the VAR sees Veiga's header on the first replay, says "ah, Portugal touched it, no offside," and that's the end of it.
5. No change of trajectory is visible on the ball. Instead of blindly trusting a questionable chip inside the ball, the ref could have trusted his own eyes -> goal stands
6. Letting a minuscule alleged touch that didn't affect the ball overturn one of the craziest goals in World Cup history is suspicious in and of itself. It hints at an agenda or bias by the refs and VAR.
7. The penalty given to Portugal was already a false decision.
8. FIFA using B-tier referees raises the suspicion that they're chosen deliberately: a ref without a big name is more likely to enforce the rules to the letter, out of fear that FIFA won't invite him (and pay him) at the next tournament. A big refereeing name would at least have the courage to decide by feel for the game.
9. Previous games where Ronaldo was already helped by the refereeing.
10. The observation that rules are applied far more strictly against small nations than against the big names.
11. Semi-automated offside tech was sold to us as eliminating human error. Instead, a sensor blip that nobody can see with their own eyes was used to overrule what everybody COULD see. If the technology can't be verified by the footage, the footage should win.
12.FIFA is visibly willing to trade away trust and raw emotion (nobody can celebrate a goal anymore before the check period is over, fans get fed up and stop watching because of this BS) in exchange for control over outcomes, because keeping the biggest names in the tournament as long as possible is what makes their commercial goals easily reachable.
@lightseen41489@Bri_an2 10 mins cause of hydration, stoppages and var, than 3 more cause of celebration and yelow card talk, and after that after the 103th minute it was all VAR, dont try to spin the narrative, lick those boots, cause yall probably gonna rob spain aswell just like columbia and croatia
@wallacethe1st@JoseMendoza420@rm_actor@ValentinaForUSA because rigging a match doesent work like that, he was way offside, where the rigging occures is with small things, like all the calls in the first half that wen into the benefit of protugal and the "offside" goal
@kaznius @signaturedude05@SankiHoon nope, they celebrated for 2 minutes, i was croatian and i was constantly looking at the clock, after that the ref straight up talked with 2 players for about a minute and a little more after perisic got a yellow. and tell me, why would they give croatia more time jus to disallow?
@rd_lobo@tylo323@dipole_momentum yeah, he said he felt a slight touch, which was the hair, which doesent count as a offside if the ball doesent change the trojectory. so yea no offside, and also if it was the portugals player tried to clear the ball and failed which reset the play
@TheRightGuy_83@ValentinaForUSA@balogun dumbass, 10 minutes cause of hydration break, stops and VAR, than after there were 3 added cause of protugals celebration and after 113th minute it was all VAR until 118 , dont try to spin the narrative, just lick those ronaldos boots cleeeannn
@Joauia@HoodiGarland the whole 1st half? every 50/50 decision went your way. and your player tried to clear the ball which means it wasnt offside. not that it matters, spain gonna fill yalls asses up with 3-0, especially if ronaldo starts( or maybe not if yall rig even that match)
@meaga_twit@_Shobayo1@IamFidgell@nocontextfooty "a deliberate play occurs when a defender has full control of their body and consciously tries to pass, clear, or control the ball"
and he tried to clear the ball
