🚨🎙️ Thierry Henry on Portugal vs Croatia:
🗣️ “If you watched that match from start to finish, you saw exactly what was happening. The disallowed goal, the decisions, the way every 50-50 call seemed to go Portugal’s way, it leaves a lot of questions. The VAR and the referee looked unbelievably biased.”
“You cannot convince me that everything we witnessed was normal. It felt like there was a determination to keep Portugal in the competition because they don’t want Cristiano Ronaldo going home. At times, it almost looked as though the tournament had been rigged in Portugal’s favour. Football deserves transparency, not controversy.”
Colombia’s winner wrongfully disallowed.
Croatia winner wrongfully disallowed as well.
We are witnessing one of the biggest scandals in World Cup history.
🚨 Erling Haaland on the toughest defender he has faced:
🗣️ “Honestly, it’s those two Arsenal F.C. boys, Gabriel and Saliba. But Gabriel? That guy annoys me.
Gabriel doesn’t defend like somebody doing a job. He defends like a man trying to protect ancient secrets. I remember one time I checked my shoulder before receiving the ball and somehow he was already there staring at me aggressively. It’s honestly unsettling.”
“But seriously, he’s top class. Every striker complains about defenders like him because they make your life miserable, but deep down you respect them the most. I would absolutely love to have a player with that mentality in my team. Facing him again at the World Cup will be special.”
Being proud of your country doesn’t equal being proud of the government. What it means is being proud of the hockey team, the soccer team, the men and women who work hard to make this place amazing. ITS THE PEOPLE, THE CITIZENS THAT MAKE AMERICA A WONDERFUL PLACE. ITS THE NURSES, TEACHERS, MILITARY, MOTHERS, FATHERS AND ANYONE WHO MAKES A DIRECT POSITIVE IMPACT TO THEIR COMMUNITIES!!!!!
🚨 🗣️Luka Modric absolutely blasts the referees: "The referees did everything to favour Portugal throughout the match. They gave an offside to a clear Goal in the end. Might as well hand-over the trophy to them already"
🚨🗣️ 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?
🚨 BREAKING: Zlatko Dalic (Croatia Manager): I can’t believe what I’ve just seen, the ball clearly comes off his [Veiga’s] head, it’s a disgrace,”
“We knew what could happen after the Portugal match against Colombia but this is truly disgraceful.”
Cristiano Ronaldo got a 3 game red card suspension and FIFA just up and decided he was simply too big of a superstar to serve it
So forgive me if I'm not really interested in what "mechanisms" FIFA says are or aren't at our disposal here as it's just Calvinball all the way down
