Can you just imagine what the narrative would be if an African team behaved how Paraguay did today??? We would get called every single name under the sun.
But with them it’s ‘passion’ ‘desire’. Get the hell out of here. Call it what it is.
Les propos hier soir du journaliste de la RTS Pablo Iglesias après le match France - Paraguay 👏🏻
Ça fais plaisir de voir quelqu’un qui ose dire les choses et qui les dis très juste 👏🏻
Dear FIFA,
I assume you watched the France vs. Paraguay match. The referee, Ilgiz Tantashev, delivered a truly unacceptable performance. This is a football match, not a boxing or MMA fight.
Elbows, punches, and countless brutal challenges went completely unpunished. I'm not even talking about your overall card policy anymore—this level of officiating is simply unacceptable. It's a disgrace. The French players have families too.
The fact that Paraguay went the entire 90 minutes without receiving a single card, despite repeated violent challenges and even confrontations between players, is impossible to justify. This referee seems to think that refusing to show cards is some kind of achievement.
What's even more unbelievable is that he didn't have the courage to book Paraguay's players even when five of them deliberately surrounded and blocked the penalty spot.
Either this referee had money on the match, or something else was going on. It was an absolute joke. @FIFAcom@FIFAWorldCup
