FIFA’s ball chip, apparently:
- Camera cable the size of a garden hose: nothing detected ✅
- One (1) hair from a Croatia player: MAXIMUM SIGNAL 🚨
Incredible technology. Truly.
Release the raw sensor data or admit your sins!
Norway robbed in broad daylight.
This sensor detected a Croatian player touching a ball that no camera on Earth saw him touch: GOAL DISALLOWED.
The same sensor felt nothing when the ball visibly smashed into a camera cable and handed England a goal.
It detects hairs but not steel cables.
Impressive technology.
This was on Wellesley between Yonge and Bay last Saturday afternoon. Not an unusual sight these days.
Drug zombies everywhere. They need help not more drugs.
🚨🗣 Egypt's Coach Hossam Hassan couldn't control himself after full-time:
"I will say what's on my mind regardless of the consequence, this was clearly a rigged match and the whole world saw it"
"And I want to say one more thing, if they want them [Argentina] to win so bad, why call everyone to come and participate?"
🎙️ Zlatko Dalić on Croatia's relationship with FIFA:
"I've been pointing out Croatia's status with FIFA for several years, but I never received support. All the decisions we've seen, including the red card and everything else, only reinforce my belief that I was right.
I was the only national team coach in the world who refused to vote in FIFA's awards for several years, yet nobody paid attention. Now we're seeing exactly what I was talking about. We bother them.
We spoiled their party twice, and there's no chance they'll let us get close a third time. That's how I see it. We are simply not welcome, and they don't want Croatia writing the story for a third consecutive tournament." [Americana]
Zlatko Dalić on Portugal's penalty:
"That's the story of Croatia. Vlašić merely put his arm around him, he didn't pull him. I spoke out against FIFA before, and I was right when I said it. We spoiled their party twice, but we couldn't do it a third time. They won't allow Croatia to write another great story for the third tournament in a row."
[Americana]
Incredible Egyptian goal is disallowed because of a foul far away, then same situation a few minutes later and goal for Argentina not disallowed! No VAR, nothing? FIFA again looks like a corrupt joke, playing favorites for stars.
🎙️ Zlatko Dalić on the penalty awarded to Portugal:
"Look at the four or five fouls on Budimir in that match. Their centre-back was holding him in exactly the same way, but the referee didn't even give a foul.
Then VAR intervenes for this penalty. Vlašić didn't pull him; he only shielded him with his arms. There wasn't enough contact for a penalty.
I'm convinced that if the situation had been the other way around, they wouldn't even have reviewed it." [Americana]
Dani Olmo za TeleDeporte prije utakmice s Portugalom:
"Protiv kojega kluba ne bi volio igrati?", pitao ga je novinar.
"'Ma jedan moj bivši klub, Dinamo Zagreb", odgovorio je Olmo.
"Za što te vežu najljepše uspomene?", bilo je novo pitanje.
"Za Dinamo Zagreb", odgovorio je Olmo.
'Kome se najviše diviš?', bilo je zadnje pitanje
"Dinamu. Zbog onoga što sam tamo doživio."
Ajmo Olmiću! Gaaaazi! 💙

Norway touches the ball: no VAR, no chip/snickometer, penalty for Brazil. 😂
Matanović touches it with a strand of hair: full FIFA damage control unit deployed, goal overturned.
Using technology only when it is convenient to you. FIFA is the biggest corrupt organization ever
🚨🇭🇷 BREAKING: The Croatian Football Federation has sent a letter to FIFA expressing its dissatisfaction with the refereeing in the match against Portugal.
“The Croatian Football Federation has sent a letter to FIFA President Gianni Infantino expressing our deep disappointment and disagreement over the match against Portugal, not because of the refereeing decisions themselves, as those can be debated after every match, but because of the process that led to those decisions.
First of all, we believe that the VAR protocol was applied completely incorrectly in the penalty awarded to Portugal, and that the referee should never have been called to review the incident on the pitch-side monitor. Even more importantly, we believe that Joško Gvardiol's equalising goal was incorrectly ruled out for offside. Contrary to the Laws of the Game and the spirit of football, Mario Pašalić was judged to be offside because of an alleged touch by Igor Matanović that, in our view, did not actually occur, the decision was made simply because the sensor indicated that it had.
We believe this represents a misuse of technology. We welcome technology in football, but we do not think this kind of application benefits FIFA, the teams, or football supporters. We know that our letter will not ease the pain and disappointment felt by our fans and players, but we believe it is important to draw FIFA's attention to these issues and request a detailed explanation of all the decisions,” said Tomislav Pacak, spokesperson for the Croatian Football Federation, as reported by https://t.co/TpzEjN5SGv
