🚨 Thierry Henry on Germany's disallowed goal against Paraguay after VAR review:
🗣️ “Listen, that decision is a bad one. An absolutely insane decision.
Tah wins the header cleanly. He attacks the ball, gets there first and puts it in the net. For me, that's a perfectly good goal.
Then VAR gets involved and suddenly we're chalking it off because of the softest contact on the goalkeeper.
That's not football.
If every little touch on a keeper is going to be punished like that, then defenders might as well stop challenging in the box completely.
Germany have every right to feel robbed because that goal should have stood.
And when you look at what happened after, it's even worse. That decision has effectively cost Germany qualification to the Round of 16 after they went out on penalties.
VAR was brought in to correct clear and obvious errors, not to search for excuses to disallow good goals.
For me, that's a shocking call.”
Referee for this Germany Paraguay game has been absolutely dreadful, abysmal showing and now that he’s lost control of the game he’s throwing out yellow cards like crazy. Crisis of his own doing

After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today.
I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.
It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC.
May God bless America.
CNN is both-sidesing today’s execution by saying that maybe “both sides” were panicked. To live in America today is to be constantly told not to believe anything you see with your own fucking eyes.
