Progressive liberalism is colonialism of the mind. #groupthink

Bro denied Messi of an hat trick😭😭

@JoserNunez91 That’s unfortunate. Portugal should have been fine with just taking it to extra time

Roberto Martínez, Portugal's coach, on VAR, technology, and the role it played in the disallowed goal against Croatia: "This is one of those examples where technology helps the game, because it was offside. There is no subjective opinion. I think you think. NO. It is offside. Why? The chip in the ball showed that it was Matanović's touch, then Renato Veiga's touch... The decisions and the technology today, I think they were all correct." #croatia #portugal #VAR #worldCUP #WorldCup | #HrabarBroj    | #PokažiSrce | #Family | #Vatreni   ❤️‍🔥 📹: FIFA MEDIA

@honorablesaint And why stake it on this instead of just letting them go to extra time?

I think this World Cup has shown that VAR is a crime against the game and that it is the greatest tool ever to allow Corruption, sway games, and influence tournaments. This needs to be fixed quick. They’ve never once used that technology like they did with the Croatia disallowed goal. Ever. There is zero conclusive evidence to overturn the goal. Not even visually. FIFA is corrupt beyond even what I could have suspected.

@foundring1 Wish Portugal had advocated to just count it and go to extra time.

FIFA is currently scrubbing this video from the interwebs because it proves they just rigged the game. Watch it while you can!

@CroatianSoccer Don’t know why they chose this moment to force the tech anyway. Just let it go to extra time.

🤬🤬🤬 Croatia wasn’t just robbed vs. Portugal, FIFA is ruining our “Beautiful Game” with ridiculous VAR!

@CBSSportsGolazo @J_Dyer_Official @TMeola1 Hope he coaches now

"We need to really appreciate that he's been doing this for two decades." 🇭🇷 @J_Dyer_Official and @TMeola1 reflect on Luka Modrić's remarkable career for club and country and where he ranks among the all-time great midfielders ⭐️

@MadridXtra @lukamodric10 A future coach I hope!

Thank you, @lukamodric10 🤍

He is amazing.

@GeronimoMorgans That was bad. And it was so easy to just go to the tie and go into extra time.

Croatia going home because the ball apparently grazed a hair follicle. This is genuinely the worst decision I've ever seen in my life. Over-scrutinising football to the point of absurdity. It's killing the game, honestly. Nothing left to say.

@theadelites Yeah. It should have just gone on to extra time.

I cannot believe we have got to the point where a ball lightly touching the tips of someone’s hair is being measured by a Snickometer in order to disallow a goal. The ball’s trajectory and spin were not affected at all. The offside law was created to stop goal-hanging - it was never intended to be an exact science. It was never created so that one day artificial intelligence could measure toenails offside and use a snicko to check if someone’s touched a ball. It was created to stop strikers from man-marking goalkeepers all game. VAR was meant to be reserved for clear and obvious decisions. We used to understand that football is better and more entertaining when goals are scored. That meant that for offsides: in case of doubt, the benefit was given to the attacker while in-line was always onside. Now we’re using 3D generated AI technology to check toes to the millimetre and extreme microphones to measure minuscule decibels with the aim of disallowing goals and ruining football as a spectacle. Do they ever ask if we want these changes, do they market test any of it? What an extra time awaited us for the #Portugal v #Croatia game, unfortunately we will never get to see it thanks to the madness that VAR has descended into.

@HanaHoops Was he the same one that reffed a Mexico game where they were saying this too.

Assigning a ref whose literally been accused of match fixing to ref a World Cup game is so incredibly irresponsible man

👀 LOOK UP, DC! If you’re at the Great American State Fair today, keep your eyes on the sky! The U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds will be overhead for a practice run beginning at 11:45 AM for approximately 15 minutes. Don’t be alarmed by the sound, you might just catch an incredible glimpse of these iconic jets in action! 🇺🇸

Good morning to everyone except this man #FreeFlo

@AmericanHoolis Admission that the red card was bad and they should have had 4or 5 yellows themselves?

Nice move, Bosnia

That was not the definition of a red card.

@TheSunFootball It better be called on everyone from here on out the rest of the tournament 🏟️

Former Prem referee Mark Halsey says Lionel Messi's foul against Algeria was 'far worse' than Folarin Balogun's red card offence for USA 😬

@JayDed_View1990 Should put it in their appeal. That Bosnian player should get some game suspensions for future internationals

This wasnt checked for a blatant violent conduct offense, but Flo is sent off for a moment where he was fouled initially on a coming together and he just happens to have his foot land on the opposing player's ankle. There was nothing in that. Wasn't given as a yellow. And looked way worse on slow-mo than the actual event in real time.
