🚨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.”
@The_Mardini يا رجل هو بس اي كلام وخلص. منتخب تصدر مجموعته طبيعي يكون مساره سهل، بالمناسبة لو البرتغال تصدرت مجموعتها كانت رح تكون بنفس المسار بس سبحان الله مش قادرين يتصدروا مجموعتهم الضعيفة. بس هيك منطق جماعة حمدون.
كل حالات الشك التحكيمية في الشوط الاول احتسبها الحكم لمصلحة ريال مدريد، ومع ذلك لاعبو وإداريو الريال لم يتوقفوا عن الاحتجاج والحديث مع الحكم ! هذا أسلوب لا يليق بناد يملك كل هذا التاريخ…
