Mbappé bez penalty, Messi bez trestu. Sudí? Skandální. Legendám došla trpělivost

The 2026 FIFA World Cup in the USA, Canada, and Mexico has been marked by controversial referee decisions. The biggest scandal involved a non-called penalty on Kylian Mbappé in the France-Senegal match (3:1), when Sadio Mané tackled him in the penalty area. Referee Alireza Faghani did not award the penalty even after VAR review, which was criticized by football legends such as Thierry Henry and Alan Shearer. Another controversy arose from Lionel Messi's tackle on Algerian player Aissa Mandi from behind, for which he was not sent off. Referee Szymon Marciniak completely overlooked the challenge and VAR did not intervene. While some experts like Roy Keane demanded a red card, others like Zinedine Zidane and Thierry Henry defended the tackle. Criticism focuses on VAR system inconsistency and FIFA's lack of transparency in showing evidence to fans.
