Legendary football player Zlatan Ibrahimovi\u0107 once again showed that he does not hesitate to express his own opinion, so even his contract with the American television company “Fox” did not stop him from speaking sharply about the events at the World Cup.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After major refereeing controversies in the match between Iran and Egypt (1:1), which directly affected the elimination of the Asian selection from the tournament, the popular Ibra publicly stood up in defense of the damaged party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ibrahimovi\u0107 emphasized that technology completely ruined the mentioned match, adding that the disputed decisions and the disallowed goals of the Iranians seriously threw him off balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“They didn’t just disallow a goal, they stole the dream of an entire nation,” Ibrahimovi\u0107 stated regarding the painful elimination of Iran, which ended its participation with three draws because other teams had a better record on the table of third-placed teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The famous striker analyzed the situation of the disallowed goal in detail, placing the emphasis on the human factor and the emotions of millions of fans who had already celebrated the success before the VAR reacted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I watched the video countless times and I still don’t understand how it is even possible that they ruled offside in that situation. If you are going to disallow a goal that decides the fate of a country at the World Cup, you must be 100 percent sure of it. You must not guess and speculate now hidden behind a screen,” Ibrahimovi\u0107 said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the football players of Iran, this was the peak of a double World Cup nightmare. Apart from the decisions of technology against Egypt, they were also directly doomed by a late goal from Algeria in the 94th minute of the match against Austria (3:3), which also affected this outcome on the table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the way, the arrival of Iran itself to this championship was in question due to strained political relations with the United States of America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tournament organizers applied different standards to this selection compared to the other participants, so due to special security protocols, the Iranians had to be stationed in Tijuana, Mexico during the first phase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
