🗣️ Interviewer: The Argentina team has faced cheating and refereeing allegations since the group stage. Do you think the officiating has been fair, or do you believe there’s been some favoritism?
Zlatan Ibrahimović: To be honest, this World Cup feels like it’s already been prepared for Argentina to win. The refereeing has looked heavily biased in almost every match they’ve played. It started in the group stage when Messi stepped on an opponent, then there were controversial moments against Cape Verde, Egypt, and now Switzerland.
At this point, it doesn’t even feel like a genuine competition anymore, it looks like a show designed for Argentina to win without having to struggle. There have been several highly questionable decisions. Incidents that would normally be called against other teams are ignored when Argentina is involved. On top of that, Argentina’s players seem to avoid yellow and red cards for reckless challenges that would usually be punished. From my perspective, that’s unfair and goes against the spirit of the game.
Feel horrible for Canada that they lost on the 4th of July after spending the last year booing the US national anthem at every opportunity. Just awful.
Part of me wants Vegas to win the Cup solely to hear Mitch Marner finally elaborate on his "dark times" comment.
@Jackie_Redmond isn't having it. She's tired of the Leafs fan bashing and the constant gaslighting of Toronto.
Why does everything in hockey always come back to the Leafs? 🤷♂️🍿
Yeah now’s not the time for words and a quiet demeanor brother.
Your coach called you out last night. Time to show a little fire. This is it. This the chance you’ve been waiting for your whole career.
It’s always been the lack of talent behind you. You have it now. So let’s go.
