Davor Šuker on Tuchel's comment that neither England nor France want to play in the match for 3rd place:
"I think the rich don't want to play when they lose. After 1998, when we played the Netherlands for third place, we fought for that bronze medal, and today I can still speak about it with pride. Some people have won so many trophies and are so wealthy that this match means nothing to them.
My message to them is: be quiet, respect all 211 participants, and understand that the world doesn't belong only to them. It belongs to the middle-sized nations, the smaller ones, and to everyone who loves football."
"Whoever wins third place tomorrow, I assure you that in 20 years, when they're older, they'll still remember that bronze medal. That's why, in this whole story, coach Tuchel doesn't matter. He's talking nonsense."

Lo mejor fue escuchar al comentarista argentino decir: Había offside para argentina, repite: “había offside” El árbitro no pita… y enseguida: ‘Ah, no había offside’. 😂 Hasta ellos dudan. Repiten la jugada… si era offside🫣
Mohamed Salah and Egypt receive the reception of HEROES upon arrival to the national team hotel after a devastating loss to Argentina:
“Hold your head high, you're Egyptian, the players are true men!” ❤️🇪🇬
How far back in the play does VAR go ? Back to kick off soon !! Hint of farce about that Egypt goal being ruled out. The goal would have stood for 150 years prior to VAR.
Many people don’t know this, but the crossed-arms “X” signal is FIFA’s universal gesture for reporting racist abuse.
When a player, coach, or team official makes that signal, they’re informing the referee that racist abuse has occurred. It is meant to trigger FIFA’s three-step anti-racism protocol: first stop the match, then suspend it if the abuse continues, and ultimately abandon the match if it doesn’t stop.
Today, Egypt manager Hossam Hassan made the “X” gesture from the touchline. Instead of initiating the protocol, the referee booked Hassan with a yellow card and allowed play to continue.
Ex Premier League ref Graham Scott on Egypt disallowed goal : “ It was not a foul , normal contact and 100 yards from goal. A VAR over reach “. Egypt are right to feel angry.
ممكن نتكلم عن عمر مرموش؟
أداء كارثي وسوء عجيب.. قدم مجموعات كارثية
ضد أستراليا أضاع فرصة سهلة أمام المرمى
واليوم أضاع مرتدة وفرصة حقيقية بتصرف كارثي
كان منتظر منه يشيل الحمل ويساعد محمد صلاح
كان الكل منتظر منه يعمل كل شيء
كان عليه مسؤولية كبيرة لكن للاسف خذلنا
مونديال للنسيان.
"He shouldn't referee AGAIN!" A baffled @markgoldbridge DISAGREES with the referee's decisions as Argentina beat Egypt in stoppage time to advance!
