🚨Zlatan Ibrahimovic on VAR after Croatia’s last-minute equaliser vs Portugal was ruled out:*

This referees are doing everything possible for Ronaldo to win the world cup but they will say Messi is the FIFA boy , This ball was never an Offside because the ball didn't touch the Croatia player , This is pure daylight robbery.

"The referee and VAR have just erased what should have been one of the greatest moments of this World Cup.”

"Let’s be clear: if you’re going to cancel a goal in the 90th minute, the evidence has to be beyond doubt. I’ve watched the incident multiple times, from every angle, and I still don’t see anything conclusive enough to overturn it.”

"If you’re in that VAR room for minutes, pausing, zooming, drawing lines to a shoulder, a boot, a heel… it’s not clear and obvious. And if it’s not clear, the goal must stand. That’s the whole point of VAR.”

"The referee has allowed technology to become the main character. But fans don’t fill stadiums or stay up late to watch a screen. They come for football — for drama, for emotion, for moments you remember forever.”

"Croatia showed real fight. They dug in, they scored late, they thought they’d earned a dramatic equaliser to keep their dream alive. Then one decision ripped it away, and that decision will be argued about for years.”

"This is why confidence in VAR is collapsing. It’s no longer fixing obvious mistakes. It’s hunting millimeters that nobody in the stadium can see with their own eyes. That’s not what football is supposed to be.”

"I feel for those Croatian players more than anything. You celebrate, you believe your World Cup is back on, and then it’s gone in seconds. For me, the referee on the pitch and VAR in the booth both got it wrong.

@Gilberto_Marley @StephenAShirley He picked up the ball and refused to put it down

[Seth Abramson @SethAbramson]

(🚨) So to be very clear, FIFA rules do *not* allow the USMNT to appeal the Balogun red card *on the basis of claiming the referee erred*.

But.

Under the circumstances, the USMNT should appeal on the very different grounds ESPN just reported on: misapplication of VAR protocols.

Soccer analyst Alexi Lalas was highly critical of the refereeing in USA's World Cup match vs. Bosnia and Herzegovina 🗣️

[Cenk Uygur @cenkuygur]

That red card was bullshit! Gutty performance by Team America today!! I love that they scored while a man down. That shows they're fighters!

[Underdog @Underdog]

Bosnia tapping in Herzegovina to try and beat us

[ESPN @espn]

"VAR made their recommendation to the referee based on slow-motion and still replays, which is not aligned with VAR protocols."

@andydaviesref believes VAR made the incorrect decision on Folarin Balogun's red card.

[The Touchline | 𝐓 @TouchlineX]

🚨🗣️ Mauricio Pochettino on the red card to Balogun: "Watching it after on TV, it was never the intention to step onto the player; it's a normal action in football that happens by accident."

"It's never intentional. It's never a red card."

"Today, in all the 50-50 decisions, none were for us. And the players reacted very well. We controlled that emotional part of the game that’s so important…"

"How they managed the situation was amazing; we showed maturity."

🚨 Zlatan Ibrahimović on the inconsistency of VAR after Folarin Balogun’s red card compared to the earlier Lionel Messi challenge against Algeria:

🗣️ “Now we see the inconsistency. One player is protected, another is exposed. That is the biggest problem in football today.”

“If Balogun’s challenge is a straight red card, then people have every right to ask why similar incidents are judged differently. The rules should not change depending on the name on the back of the shirt.”

“This decision exposes the rigidity of VAR, but also its inconsistency. VAR was introduced to remove controversy, yet too often it creates even bigger arguments.”

“Football cannot have two standards—one for the biggest stars and another for everyone else. Either the law is the law, or it means nothing.”

“The fans don’t ask for perfection. They ask for consistency. They want to know that every player, whether it’s Messi, Balogun or anyone else, is judged by exactly the same standard.”

“When supporters start questioning whether reputation influences decisions, that’s dangerous for the credibility of the game. Trust in officiating disappears.”

“VAR should make football fairer, not make people wonder why identical situations end with completely different outcomes. That’s the conversation everyone will be having after this.”
