🚨 Luka Modrić on Croatia’s controversial last-minute disallowed goal against Portugal:

🗣️ “This is football. Not a courtroom, not a lab where we freeze every frame and argue over centimetres.
Tonight we gave everything against a very good Portugal team. We were still fighting deep into stoppage time. The boys kept believing, kept pushing, and when that ball went in through Josko we thought we had it — equaliser, extra time, everything still possible.
Then VAR comes in and takes it away because of a touch earlier in the move. I respect the officials, I really do. But the rule is clear and obvious error. Was this one? These little things, these marginal calls where players are fighting for every inch… that’s football. That’s what defenders and attackers do every single day.
If we start ruling out goals like that in the last seconds because of a split-second touch or a shoulder or a toe, then what are we left with? The game loses its soul. The emotion, the chaos, the moments that make people fall in love with football — they get taken away by technology that was only supposed to fix the obvious mistakes.
We accept that sometimes the ball doesn’t go your way. We’ve done it our whole careers. But when the decision feels like it rewrites the last chapter of the match instead of just correcting something clear, it hurts. Not just us in the dressing room, but everyone who was watching and living every second with us.
Portugal deserved to go through, they’re a strong side and they showed it. But nights like this make you wonder where the game is heading. We play with our hearts, we fight until the whistle, and then one review decides everything.
That’s not protecting football anymore. That’s changing it into something else.”

@Lemonbriz Even Keane had to say the truth

[Lemon @Lemonbriz]

🚨 Roy Keane on Joško Gvardiol’s last minute disallowed goal as Croatia suffered a dramatic World Cup elimination to Portugal:

🗣️ “This VAR nonsense is ruining football. Absolute joke.
I’ve watched the replay and there’s not enough in it to say he was offside. To disallow a goal in the dying seconds of a World Cup knockout, it has to be stonewall obvious. It wasn’t. That goal should have stood.
They thought they’d saved themselves. Players celebrating, fans going mad… and in a few seconds it’s all taken away. Those are the moments that break teams.
Instead of talking about a brilliant late equaliser, we’re talking about another VAR controversy. Portugal are through, fair play to them. But if I was Croatia, I’d be walking off that pitch knowing football had taken something from me tonight. It’s not right.”

🚨🎙️Thierry Henry on Gonçalo Ramos’ goal putting Portugal ahead of Croatia (2-1)

🗣️“That’s what a proper striker does. You come on, you make an impact, you smell the moment and you put it away. No fuss, just clinical finishing when the team needed it most. That’s the job — be ready, be sharp, and deliver when the opportunity comes. Ramos showed exactly that tonight.”

“Credit to Roberto Martínez for making the tough call. Bringing on fresh legs up top when you’re chasing the game isn’t easy, especially with the experience already out there. He trusted the bench and it paid off. Sometimes you have to make those decisions to change the rhythm and give the team a different threat. Well played, coach — that was the right change at the right time.”

@Lemonbriz @hop_core Stfu, that’s a penalty

[Lemon @Lemonbriz]

🚨🎙️Thierry Henry criticizing the officiating on the penalty for the foul on Renato Veiga:

“I have to say, I’m not convinced by that penalty at all. Nikola Vlašić gives Renato Veiga a little pull — yes, there’s contact — but is that really enough to give a spot-kick in a World Cup knockout game? For me, it’s soft. Veiga is a big, strong lad going forward; you expect battles like that. The referee goes to the monitor and points to the spot… I think he got influenced too much.”
“Officiating like this changes matches. Croatia were in the game, defending well, and suddenly a questionable decision swings the momentum. You have to be stronger than that at this level. It wasn’t a clear, obvious foul that took the player out completely. And honestly, I wonder if that call is given if it’s not Portugal benefiting. Big teams sometimes get the benefit of the doubt in moments like this. Disappointing.”

[Lemon @Lemonbriz]

🚨🎙️Roy Keane on the penalty call for the foul on Renato Veiga:

🗣️“That’s a penalty all day long. Renato Veiga gets clattered — clear contact, no doubt about it. The referee got that one spot on. None of this soft nonsense we see too often these days. If you go in like that, you give away a penalty. Simple as. Veiga’s driving forward, committed, and he gets taken out. That’s not a 50-50, that’s a foul in the box.”
“I’m sick of players getting away with murder in the middle of the park or the box. This one was clear-cut. Well done to the ref for having the balls to call it. Portugal get the chance they deserve. Now they better step up and take it properly. No excuses.”

[Lemon @Lemonbriz]

🚨🎙️Zlatan Ibrahimović on Perisic goal for Croatia against Portugal (53’)

“This was bound to happen. Portugal dominate the game, create chance after chance, but they waste them all. You can’t do that at this level. Not in the World Cup. Croatia sits deep, waits for the moment, and then — bang — Perisic scores. 0-1. Simple as that.”
“I’ve seen it too many times. You play with fire when you dominate without finishing. Now the pressure is real. Portugal have the quality, but they better wake up fast and put the ball in the net, or Croatia will punish them even more. Football doesn’t forgive waste like this.”

[Lemon @Lemonbriz]

🚨🎙️Zlatan Ibrahimović on Portugal’s First Half vs Croatia (2026 World Cup Round of 32)

🗣️“Listen… this game is moving fast. Very fast. Portugal are flying around the pitch like they own it — 69% possession, running circles around Croatia. They create, they press, they dominate. Nine shots already, four big chances, almost one expected goal, six corners to zero. Touches in the box? Nine to three. Zlatan sees it and he likes it. Portugal look dangerous. They look like they belong in the next round already.”

“But… you cannot waste chances like this. All these opportunities and nothing to show for it? Zero goals? Come on. You create four big ones and the ball stays out? That’s not good enough. Not at this level. Not in the World Cup knockout stage.”
“If they keep doing this, Portugal will get punished. Croatia is sitting there, waiting. One mistake, one counter, one moment of laziness and boom — they strike. Zlatan has seen it before. Teams that create everything but finish nothing? They pay the price. Simple.”

“Questions before the second half? Will Portugal score? Of course they will — they have the quality, they have the chances. But will they do it before Croatia punishes them? That’s the real question. How many more big chances will they waste? As many as it takes until they put one in the net. Zlatan doesn’t waste time or chances. Portugal better not either. Finish the job.”

[Lemon @Lemonbriz]

🚨🎙️Thierry Henry on Mikel Oyarzabal being the Main Man for Spain after 3-0 win over Austria in the World Cup ;

🗣️“Listen, when you talk about Spain today, when you talk about this team that moves like a symphony, that presses like a machine, there is one man who has stepped forward and said, ‘This is my moment.’ Mikel Oyarzabal.
This is not just a goal, my friend—this is leadership. This is a striker who understands space, who understands timing, who understands exactly what this Spanish side needs when the game is tight in a World Cup knockout. Cucurella puts in that ball, but it’s Oyarzabal’s intelligence, his movement, the way he ghosts in between the lines, the composure to finish it low and clinical… that’s what winners are made of.
I’ve seen the great ones—I played with them, against them. Oyarzabal has that hunger, that humility mixed with arrogance when he’s on the ball. He’s not just scoring; he’s carrying the expectation. Spain have the flair, they have Yamal, they have Pedri, but tonight, in this Round of 16 battle, Mikel Oyarzabal is the main man. He’s the one showing the heart of a champion.
If Spain are going all the way in this World Cup, they will look back at nights like this and remember the man who stood up when it mattered. Oyarzabal is not just in form—he is the form. Mark my words.“

@Lemonbriz @hop_core They deserved to lose this match

[Lemon @Lemonbriz]

🚨🎙️Zlatan Ibrahimović on Senegal’s humiliating Loss to Belgium in the FIFA WORLD CUP;

🗣️“You know, some losses you take on the chin, you learn, you come back stronger like a lion ready for the next hunt. But this one tonight? This is the kind that stays with you forever. Senegal had everything – the lead, the fire, the whole continent behind them – and they let it slip in the worst possible way. Disgraceful. Disappointing. At this level, you cannot afford to stop playing before the final whistle. You cannot invite pressure and then crumble like that. Belgium smelled blood and took it.

This is not just a defeat for the players. This is a wound for the whole country, for every Senegalese fan who dreamed big, and for Africa as a whole that was standing with them. Tonight the continent lost more than a match. I don’t see the way back from this one. Not easily. Not soon. They had the chance to make history and they let it go. Zlatan has seen many things in football, but this… this hurts even from the outside. Wake up. Learn. Or it will haunt you for years.“

[Lemon @Lemonbriz]

🚨🎙️Roy Keane on the controversial penalty appeal for Youri Tielemans against Senegal:

🗣️“Ah for God’s sake, that is not a foul and it never will be. Tielemans gets there first, he wins the ball cleanly, and Camara is doing what any proper defender should do – trying to clear the danger. Minimal contact, nothing malicious, just a bit of a tangle.

But no, here we go again with VAR, dragging the referee over to the monitor like they’ve uncovered the crime of the century. What on earth are these people watching? At this level of football you expect better. It’s embarrassing. The officials have lost the plot completely, they’re soft, they’re guessing, and they’ve ruined what was shaping up to be a proper battle in extra time.

Senegal were excellent for so long, they had Belgium on the ropes, and now this nonsense hands the game on a plate. Absolute disgrace. The game’s going down the toilet with this kind of refereeing. Shocking. Just shocking.“

[Lemon @Lemonbriz]

🚨🎙️Gary Neville on Manchester United losing Mateus Fernandes to Tottenham:

🗣️“Look, it’s happening again at Manchester United. They were interested in Declan Rice but the price tag made them back away. Arsenal stepped in, signed him, and he became a key player in their Premier League winning side.

Elliot Anderson was another target where they hesitated over the cost. City paid the fee and now he’s established enough to start for England at the World Cup.

Mateus Fernandes is the latest case. United weren’t willing to pay what was being asked. Tottenham were, and they’ve completed the signing.

We saw it with João Neves as well, who ended up at Paris Saint-Germain after similar reluctance from United.

United fans simply cannot keep backing the board every single time they claim these targets are too expensive.
Truthfully, most players labelled overpriced in the market do not merit the price tag but in these situations the club has clearly been getting it wrong, and those players have gone on to prove their true value elsewhere.”

@Lemonbriz @hop_core Deadly duo these ones

[Lemon @Lemonbriz]

🚨🎙️Zlatan Ibrahimović on the Mbappé-Olise Duo following France 3-0 win over Sweden in the World Cup:

🗣️“Listen carefully, because I don’t say these things lightly. In this World Cup, what Mbappé and Olise are doing together is something beautiful to watch. Against Sweden they controlled the game. Olise with his eyes up, finding pockets of space, delivering those killer passes. Then Mbappé gets it on his feet and boom — he is gone. Sprinting, destroying defenses, scoring goals.

The only player before Olise who could give Mbappé the ball and make him run like that straight away was Pogba. Now Olise has the same effect. He unlocks him completely. The vision, the technique, the intelligence — it is rare. In this match you see the chemistry, the goals coming from their link-up, and throughout the whole competition it has been the same story. They create, they finish, they dominate.

If I were Real Madrid president right now, I would be calling Olise to the Bernabéu immediately. That kind of player, with that kind of talent next to stars like Mbappé? You build winners with that. Sweden felt the power tonight, and many more teams will feel it before this tournament is over. This duo is special. Zlatan approves.“

[Lemon @Lemonbriz]

🚨🎙️ Thierry Henry on Mbappé’s Goal vs Sweden in the World Cup;

🗣️“You could see that goal coming from a mile away. Sweden gave France chance after chance, and the boys missed a couple themselves along the way, but it was only a matter of time. Kylian’s been knocking on the door all game with that movement, that pace, that little bit of magic in his feet.
The technique on it was pure Kylian. The hunger? You can’t teach that. He wants it more than anyone out there right now. Look at the numbers, he’s doing it again when it counts most. World Cup goals, big moments, knockout football… this is what he does.
Kylian Mbappé is Mr World Cup. End of story.“

[Lemon @Lemonbriz]

🚨🎙️Zlatan Ibrahimović on Ivory Coast’s performance after the 2-1 defeat to Norway:

🗣️ “Ivory Coast showed flashes of real quality today. Amad Diallo turned up big time — that equalizer was pure class, exactly what you need in a knockout game. Some players fought hard and brought energy, and that deserves credit.”
“But they made a few too many defensive errors and lost concentration at critical moments. Norway stayed sharp and punished the lapses, especially late on. After equalizing, they dropped a bit deep instead of maintaining the pressure, and that let Norway back in.”
“Overall the talent is clearly there. Fix those small mistakes in focus and defensive structure, keep the good stuff from the players who stepped up, and this team has a bright future. The fans who travelled deserved a strong showing — learn from tonight and come back stronger.”

[Lemon @Lemonbriz]

🚨🎙️Thierry Henry on Amad Diallo after Ivory Coast’s defeat to Norway in the FIFA WORLD CUP:

🗣️ “Football can be cruel sometimes. Ivory Coast gave everything tonight, but Norway found a way to win in the end. Still, there was real beauty in what Amad Diallo produced.
That equalizer… wow. A proper solo goal. He receives the ball, glides past the first defender with that quick burst, uses his body to create space, then another sharp movement to open up the angle. The finish itself was pure technique — left foot, composed, guided into the far corner with just the right touch of curl. Not power, but intelligence and precision. That’s the mark of a player who sees the picture clearly.

He then went on step up for a free-kick that was so close to being one of the goals of the tournament — whipped it with pace and dip, right on target. With a different goalkeeper in goal, that’s flying in. Moments like that show his confidence and quality from set pieces too.

He was roaming freely like a creator, starting wide but drifting inside wherever he felt the space. It reminded me of the best versions of players who understand timing and movement, he reminded me of myself.

Even in defeat, Amad showed real quality. Manchester United’s coach Carrick should be watching closely — there’s so much to learn from how he’s being used internationally.
And young Yan Diomandé on the other side? Fearless in the duels, always ready to take people on. Talents like that will learn from nights like this and come back stronger. The future is bright for the Elephants.”
