Zlatan is angry after the cancellation of Iran’s goal. they stole the dream of an entire nation
The decision to cancel the goal scored by the Iranian team against the Egyptian team exploded. In the last breaths of their World Cup match, which ended in a draw (1-1)This Saturday morning there was a wave of controversy and loud opinions. It came after video technology intervened to detect offside on player Khalilzadeh, denying the Iranians a crucial goal.
The decision angered retired Swedish star Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who analyzes the 2026 World Cup matches for Fox Sports, as he launched a vicious and unprecedented attack on the refereeing staff and the mouse room.
The result saw Egypt qualify for the round of 32, finishing second, pending: Iran are among the top teams, finishing third in their group to advance to the next round.
Ibrahimovic’s criticism of the technique was sharp and harsh, as he stated according to the information reported by the newspaper.Corriere dello Sport“This is exactly the reason why fans have lost faith in VAR technology. They tell us it exists to stamp out obvious wrongs, and yet it continues to create disaster and greater controversy in the world’s greatest football forum. This is absolutely unacceptable.”
The Swedish star emphasized the legitimacy of Khalilzadeh’s goal, adding: “I replayed the goal kick over and over again and I still don’t understand how it was ruled offside.
Sultan’s attack was not limited to technical analysis, but he strongly sympathized with the fans, bitterly saying: “Millions of Iranians celebrated what they thought was a historic moment for their country, only to see it canceled within seconds by a group of officials.
He continued his attack, demanding accountability. “The referee and VAR officials should be held accountable for such decisions. There is no hiding behind technology when it is misused. this is not justice, but incompetence and confusion itself.”
Ibrahimovic concluded his fiery remarks by criticizing the entire refereeing system, highlighting the amount of sacrifices in the tournament. “The World Championship is played once in four years. players sacrifice everything to get here and fans travel from all over, and then comes a shocking decision to destroy months of hard work. This is inexcusable. The football system deserves better than this and the players deserve better.” Above all, the fans deserve much better.”
