๐Ÿšจ FIFAโ€™s chief refereeing officer, Pierluigi Collina, in a statement has firmly ๐ซ๐ž๐ฃ๐ž๐œ๐ญ๐ž๐ allegations that referees are being influenced in favor of Argentina at the 2026 World Cup ๐ŸŒŽโš ๏ธ

โ€œNobody can claim that FIFA refereeing can be influenced by anyone, ๐ง๐จ๐ญ ๐ž๐ฏ๐ž๐ง ๐›๐ฒ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐…๐ˆ๐…๐€ ๐ฉ๐ซ๐ž๐ฌ๐ข๐๐ž๐ง๐ญ ๐†๐ข๐š๐ง๐ง๐ข ๐ˆ๐ง๐Ÿ๐š๐ง๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐จ. He has always shown his full support for FIFA Team One while trusting us to work with complete independence.โ€

โ€œMatch officials make honest decisions and, just like players and coaches, they always try to do their best. Of course, constructive discussion about decisions will always be part of football, but ๐ฎ๐ง๐Ÿ๐จ๐ฎ๐ง๐๐ž๐ ๐š๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ž๐ ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐ฌ ๐ก๐š๐ฏ๐ž ๐ง๐จ ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐š๐œ๐ž ๐ข๐ง ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐ฌ๐ฉ๐จ๐ซ๐ญ.โ€ โ€ผ๏ธ

The accusations came from Egypt head coach Hossam Hassan after his sideโ€™s round-of-16 elimination by Argentina. Hassan was furious over a goal disallowed for Egypt, and over a penalty he felt should have been awarded in stoppage time before Argentinaโ€™s winning goal.

He spoke openly of โ€œpressureโ€ on referee Francois Letexier and called the outcome โ€œunfair.โ€

FIFA has ๐ซ๐ž๐ฌ๐ฉ๐จ๐ง๐๐ž๐ to these accusations.

Collina can say whatever he wants but that penalty call against France in the final still lives rent free in my head, the odds shifted so violently after that whistle I thought my screen was glitching. It is funny how thesse allegations always pop up right when Argentina benefits in a knockout match.
