🚨Wayne Rooney:
“FIFA have become too lenient with Argentina. They don’t get booked or penalized for the most obvious offenses and it’s raising so many eyebrows.”
“Very soon a lot will be revealed”
🚨🗣️EXCLUSIVE: Rio Ferdinand slams officiating after Argentina vs Cape Verde.
“I don’t mind a team losing because they were second best that’s football. What I can’t accept is when the biggest talking points are the referee’s decisions. Cape Verde deserved consistency, and I don’t think they got it tonight. Too many 50-50 calls seemed to go one way, and that leaves a bitter taste. At this level, every decision has massive consequences. The officials have to be held to the highest standard because when the focus shifts from the football to the officiating, the game has failed everyone watching. Cape Verde have every right to feel frustrated and ask questions about how this match was managed.”
🚨Didier Drogba en @talkSPORT:
“La FIFA es una vergüenza, si no quieren que otros países compitan con Messi y Argentina, deberían decirlo directamente en lugar de hacer que parezca que estamos perdiendo el tiempo”
Not one for publicly criticising referees but Ilgiz Tantashev has been absolutely shocking tonight in this France vs Paraguay game.
The same man that refereed our game vs Morocco and was shocking that day too.
Not good enough for the biggest stage.
🗣️ Interviewer: “Argentina has been involved in several controversial refereeing decisions during this World Cup. Do you think it’s just a coincidence, or do you believe something suspicious is going on?”
Zlatan Ibrahimović: “After watching the game against Cape Verde, I can no longer believe it’s just a coincidence. The referee seemed to give 9 out of 10 key decisions in Argentina’s favor. There were several fouls on Cape Verde players that he ignored. He allowed Messi to take a quick free kick before the defensive wall had been properly set, and Messi wasn’t cautioned. The amount of added time also seemed to go well beyond what was expected.
When you look at all of this, it makes you question whether Argentina is being treated differently from other countries. If you have to win the World Cup amid controversy every time, then there’s nothing to brag about because it feels as though the tournament was made easier for you it wasn’t earned, but bought.”
🚨BREAKING: Argentina vs Cape Verde recorded 15 penalty errors in favor of Argentina
The highest among all the 2026 world cup match in favor of one particular team
🚨🎙️🗣️: Drogba
“FIFA is a disgrace and everyone is seeing what they want to do again, if they don’t want other countries to compete with Messi and Argentina they should just say it rather than making it look like we are wasting our time”

🚨 L’ancien footballeur Joe Hart pousse un coup de gueule contre le Paraguay après le match contre la France !
« Cette équipe du Paraguay 🇵🇾 a été une honte absolue. Si mes coéquipiers jouaient comme ça, je les sortirais moi-même du terrain.
Je ne voudrais jamais gagner un match de football en jouant de cette manière. L’arbitre a été catastrophique. » 👏🏼
