I’ve watched the Video, absolutely Disgusting:


​The Egyptian World Cup team was physically assaulted by Dallas police while taking a photo with a young fan. The police chief later apologized.

​Here is America's hospitality.

All of the refereeing officials for France v Morocco are from Argentina.



Ned
do we really feel that things can be manipulated to an outcome ,I know the Italians had a lot of sh.t going on throwing games etc and they have never recovered but I really cannot see this been the case in the world cup,to much of the world is watching not like in italy with the football and the mafia.


You may be right, but you just never know with FIFA. I just found it odd that it would be all Argentinians refereeing the best team in the tournament.


After var pretending not to see Egypt penalty ,(probably coffee break) anything is possible with this corrupt organisation?

Why on earth was it held up for so long? It just gives the conspiracy theorists more ammunition.

First match of the tournament to have all of the officials from the same country and they're Argentinian.

Had to give the penalty because it was clear cut but didn't help Mbappe by delaying it for so long.

These commentators are making this game unwatchable.

The current crop of ITV’s commentators are utterly woeful, and the BBC aren’t much better.

Re: France v Morocco " FIFA World Cup 2026 "

There was no reason for an over 3 minute delay, wtf were they doing all that time? Did they go waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back to try & find a reason to not give the penalty? Were they on a FIFA mandated tea break? Were they all in the bathroom together? Would love to know why it took so long.

There should be a maximum of 4 VAR teams for the whole tournament, it's not like they need to travel to the games as the televised pictures they use could be beamed anywhere in the country or world even. 4 teams of 4 from 4 countries not involved in the finals would give consistency & alleviate most of the time waiting for a decision. Just a thought.

2-0, Dembele.

Looked to me like the goalkeeper should have saved that.

Re: France in semi finals " FIFA World Cup 2026 "

France into the semi-finals with a deserved 2-0 win. Morocco got what they deserved, didn't really turn up.

They will play Spain or Belgium, that game is at 8pm on Friday.

All four teams that get to the semi finals are guaranteed to play two more matches, because there is a third place play-off game the day before the final.

Loads of teams get knocked out - why do moroccans kick off?

Nothing controversial in the defeat by France.
