π¨ Zlatan Ibrahimovic on the VAR decision that denied Iran a last-minute victory against Egypt:
π£οΈ "This is exactly why people are losing faith in VAR. We were told it was there to eliminate obvious mistakes, but somehow it continues to create bigger controversies on the biggest stage in football. This is simply unacceptable."
"I've watched the replay over and over again, and I still don't understand how anyone could have called that offside. If you're going to disallow a goal that could decide the World Cup for a nation, you'd better be 100% sure and not guess behind a screen. Millions of Iranians celebrated what they thought was a historic moment, only for a bunch of officials to erase it in seconds. You didn't just deny a goal; you stole a nation's dream."
"The referee and the VAR officials must be held accountable for decisions like this. You can't hide behind technology when technology is being misused. This isn't justice; this is incompetence." "The World Cup is held once every four years. Players sacrifice everything to get here, fans travel across the globe, and then one shocking decision destroys months of hard work. This is unforgivable."
"If this is the standard of refereeing in football's biggest tournament, something serious is broken. Football deserves better, players deserve better, and above all, fans deserve much better than this."

@KhotsoNkhathoj1@Bayareafutbols1 Fan versions usually have stitched but authentic ones which is what weβre talking about here. Replicas might as well be fakes but some do come with iron patches also.
