🚨Thierry Henry blasts the referee and VAR after Croatia's last-minute goal against Portugal was ruled out:
🗣️ “I don't understand that decision at all. For me, the referee and VAR have completely ruined what should have been one of the greatest moments of this World Cup.
You cannot overturn a goal of that magnitude unless the evidence is absolutely clear. I've watched the replay several times, and I still don't see enough to confidently rule it out. If it's taking that long to draw lines and freeze frames, then it isn't obvious.
The referee has allowed technology to become the star of the match. Fans didn't come to watch VAR—they came to watch football. Croatia thought they had earned a dramatic equaliser through courage and determination, only for it to be taken away by a decision that will divide opinions for years.
This is exactly why people are losing faith in VAR. Instead of correcting obvious mistakes, it's making microscopic decisions that nobody in the stadium can understand. That's not what football is supposed to be.
I feel for the Croatian players because moments like this stay with you forever. You celebrate, you believe you've kept your World Cup dream alive, and then it's all erased in seconds. For me, the referee and VAR have got this completely wrong.”
A word about the so-called snicko graph that “proved” croatia striker matanovic touched the ball.
Darren Cann (referee decisions commentator on the BBC and, unfortunately for him, one of the least convincing men ever to see a microphone) said he was “100% certain” there was a touch that caused pasalic to be offside.
He based that certainty on “snicko” technology as this proved the touch.
This is what referee and VAR used to rule out the goal.
But even if you think snicko is a good idea (I don’t) there’s a massive problem with the snicko graph.
IT’S DOESN’T LINE UP WITH THE PICTURES!
Snicko shows one spike and we’re asked to believe that was the matanovic touch.
But there are 4 or 5 touches on the ball in a few seconds (the cross - matanovic? - portugal defender veiga - croatia’s pasalic - then gvardiol scoring).
Snicko shows one?
They have to show a graph where all five touches (if there are five) are represented and where the graph spikes line up perfectly with the footage.
That would remove all doubt.
The way it was presented makes no sense and looks corrupt to the core.
We know way too much about Taylor Swift’s wedding at Madison Square Garden for me to believe Taylor Swift is having a wedding at Madison Square Garden, but I’ve been wrong before.

@opajuju Então! Eu fiquei no segundo setor lateral, o 120... pesquisei no Google e tinha achado horrível... agora olhando pelo mapa da eventim parece razoável, mas não sei se o palco vai ser exatamente nesse molde
