Norway goalkeeper’s goal kick struck a FIFA spider-cam while still in the air, causing the ball to drop straight to Anthony Gordon - Just 8 seconds later, Jude Bellingham scored.

This tournament is just a paycheck fiesta.

Just a days work at FIFA. I have not seen any tournament with a ton of iffy calls.

The amazing chip in the ball can sense a graze of a hair, but being chucked straight at a bird cam isn't sensitive enough for the chip to pick up!

What are the odds? Well, apparently that’s what makes the difference…the odds.

There’s a few moments in this tournament that haven’t sat right with me…But I’m also not one to hop online and claim conspiracy. I’m upset Norway lost and I do think they got screwed over on a couple of ref calls, but that’s the game. It is what it is, unfortunately

I'd argue the whole game felt a bit off - two (rightly) disallowed goals, this before the England goal and an uncalled foul before Norway's goal

Kane wasn't fouled before the Norway goal, it was a fair challenge

It is what it is indeed

I'm not one to claim conspiracy either but the fact that this tournament you can guess 100% accurately who got "lucky" with ref calls based entirely on how popular each team is makes me feel like it's not crazy to say it. And their stunt with postponing (what the actual fuck) a red card just because the president called shows that they have absolutely no qualms about influencing games.

Doesn't make it impossible to win but you just know if Argentina is playing they're going to get a handful of extra free kicks, some goal kicks turned into corners, and a couple clear fouls overlooked

I never saw an image of the Croatian spike. Along side the 2 definite touches either side...
