🚨🇭🇷 𝐁𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆: The Croatian Football Federation (HNS) has formally lodged a complaint with FIFA over the officiating in Croatia's World Cup defeat to Portugal.
HNS argue the VAR protocol was wrongly applied for Portugal’s penalty and that Joško Gvardiol’s disallowed goal resulted from a misuse of the ball sensor technology.

🚨Pierluigi Collina on Portugal being awarded a penalty after the VAR review:
🗣️ “This is simply not a penalty — I’m stunned they’ve awarded it.
Awarding a spot-kick for that kind of minimal contact in a World Cup knockout game risks creating a terrible precedent.
Croatia had been outstanding at the back all evening, and now their disciplined performance is at risk of being undone by an intervention I strongly disagree with. Football involves physical challenges; not every brush or nudge should be penalised.
VAR exists to fix obvious errors, not to go looking for fouls that weren’t there. The referee saw the incident clearly in real time, yet reversed his decision after checking the monitor.
Moments like this are precisely why trust in the system keeps eroding.
If Portugal convert this, Croatia will rightly feel the result was decided in the VAR room rather than on the pitch. Calls of this magnitude can swing an entire competition, and in my view, this one has been badly misjudged.”
🚨🗣️ Wayne Rooney: "Daylight robbery man, this is unacceptable. How is that offside when the ball clearly hit the head of Veiga! Saw Modric laugh and I said yeah the ref is a joke."
"Ronaldo and Roberto Martinez should know they don't deserve this win."
🚨🗣️ Zlatan Ibrahimović on Fox Sports:
They overturned Cristiano's 3 match suspension. They didn't send off 2 Portugal players against DR Congo for Red card offense.
Few days ago They disallowed a legitimate Colombia winning goal and now they disallowed a Croatia's goal that could have won them the match.
Why is FIFA giving Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal so much favoritism?
Solo alguien sin conocimientos técnicos puede creer que un sensor inalámbrico metido dentro de una pelota —que es pateada durante horas con una tasa de muestreo pésima— es capaz de detectar un pelo en su superficie en milisegundos, pero mágicamente inmune a la onda de presión si alguien la falla por un milímetro… todo transmitido por el aire en tiempo real a cientos de metros.
Es un acelerómetro. Capta vibraciones y cambios de presión de todo lo que esté cerca, hasta un insecto. Después la @FIFAcom decide qué pico cuenta como “toque”.
Y si el microchip marcó el “toque de cabeza” del croata… ¿por qué en la gráfica no aparece después el impacto clarísimo contra el defensor portugués?
Esto no es tecnología. Es un robo descarado. Uno de los más escandalosos de la historia del fútbol.
Y eso que han habido varios…
