FIFA is currently scrubbing this video from the interwebs because it proves they just rigged the game. Watch it while you can!

🚨 This is the man who officiated Belgium vs Senegal today.

Saíd Martínez (Honduras)

He was in charge of the game where Senegal got robbed again — questionable decisions, soft penalties, and VAR that only worked in one direction.

African teams keep fighting on the pitch while these referees decide the outcome from the sidelines.

Name them. Shame them. This isn’t refereeing anymore. It’s robbery with a whistle.

[Alex Haditaghi @CanDisenchanted]

One of the WORST calls in modern World Cup history! Senegal was ROBBED today by a corrupt, dirty referee and FIFA. African & Asian teams have ZERO chance with this level of disgusting corruption. Shame on you!

RIP Dame Penelope Keith, who I discovered and then loved (along with my NYC roommate in the 1980s) in "The Good Life" and "To the Manor Born." ("Thank you very much, Jerry!") Thanks for all the laughter. https://t.co/FSStZSlyDX

Zlatan Ibrahimović on the VAR decision that denied Iran a last-minute winner against Egypt:

🗣️ “This is exactly why people are losing faith in VAR. We're told it's here to eliminate clear mistakes, yet somehow it keeps creating even bigger controversies on football's biggest stage. That's simply unacceptable.”

“I've watched the replay again and again, and I still don't understand how anyone can call that offside. If you're going to cancel a goal that could decide a nation's World Cup, you better be 100% certain not guessing behind a screen.”

“Millions of Iranians celebrated what they believed was a historic moment, only for a group of officials to erase it within seconds. You didn't just disallow a goal you stole a nation's dream.”

“The referee and VAR officials should be held accountable for decisions like this. You cannot hide behind technology when the technology is being used incorrectly. That's not justice, that's incompetence.”

“A World Cup is played once every four years. Players sacrifice everything to get here, supporters travel across the world, and then one shocking decision destroys months of hard work. That is unforgivable.”

“If this is the standard of officiating at the biggest tournament in football, then something is seriously broken. Football deserves better, the players deserve better, and above all, the fans deserve far better than this.”

'Intentarán matarme y sumir al Congo en guerras interminables porque saben que una África unida e independiente, tanto política como económicamente, marcaría el fin de su dominio y el comienzo de nuestra verdadera libertad".

Patrice Lumumba, lider anti-colonial congoleño, vaticinaba en 1960 lo que pasó en el Congo, fue descuartizado y disuelto en ácido por Bélgica y EEUU.... apenas un año después de estas palabras.

On this day in 1940, a young Black man named Jesse Thornton was abducted and lynched in Alabama after he addressed a white Alabama police officer without the title "Mr.” No one was ever prosecuted for his death.
