Fake news.
It isnt rigged.
The pen v Croatia was a pen and correct decision.
Coping mechanism. Nothing more.
Should have had more pens if anything.
Aye refs were fair biased towards Barca in CL this season. Great theory.
Ah ok, If you say that it is not rigged, then I'll never mention this again.
Dinamo had literally 5-6-7 pens in exactly the same fashion whenever they play against big boys.
And whenever it is 0:0 and big boys are in danger.
I have a feeling that big boys "know" the unwritten rule between them and refs: just run into a box, someone will eventually make a contact, you fall down and usually it will be a pen. Win-win. A ref can say there was a contact (there is always SOME contact) and FIFA/UEFA will earn money since big teams/players will progress. No one can say that it was a rigged. Sponsors will invest money, people will buy pay per view, 1 billion of Bangladeshi fans will buy t shirts.
This shit repeats for 30 years.
Nobody wants to watch fucking Petkovic in CL KO games. But Leao, Giroud, that is another story.
But hey, if you say that it is not like that, how can you be wrong. I mean, you surely do know what is happening in FIFA's offices and in VAR rooms.
I mean, why would anything regarding money and interests be rigged? We all know that the world is perfect and there is no cheating anywhere, in any sphere of life.
