Handball but even the subpar Croatian GK would have saved that. More of a stupid play by the Croat

Not even comparable to the Bosnian offside call, but it was the second hand ball by Croats this terrible ref missed.


lol no blatant handball calls are always easier than any offside call. offside is a split second thing where you have to watch entire line.

The officiating in this world cup has been absolutely piss poor. It's a huge fix for the next tournament. It's ruined so many matches.

Brazil-Croatia
Mexico-Cameroon
Iran-Argentina
Mexico-Croatia
England-Uruguay
Bosnia-Nigeria

Amongst others have all had the integrity of the result ruined.

Up to now, the only exciting Croatian thing is Olic's running. He is now at 8.2 km.

Edit: just as I say it, he is subbed :lol: :banghead:

Well deserved Mexico goal. Croatia played with zero heart and deserves to go home.
