Halftime pundits on Irish TV also mentioned the word justice after the missed penalty as they said they were amazed it was given  

 

I agree about officiating at this World Cup, it’s been inconsistent at best.

I guess you didn't follow that closely the 2002 World Cup in Korea (and Japan)...

this is what Qatari people are saying in social media : you didn't stop to critisize (we are out competition) then LEAVE QATAR , don't stay here , each team go play your matchs at home

Can't say for the rest, but the goal actually ruined the life of the Bulgarian assistant referee. People stopped talking to him then, the BG Football Union allegedly asked him to pay to continue refereeing. At his funeral in 2017 only a small group of people went and there was no actual acknowledgement by the football union, even though he was an actual player before that. He was forgotten by everyone after that match. He has also said, that he saw the hand in real time, but the rules at that time were, that the assistants can't signal or communicate with the head referee unless directly asked by him.

I stand on my previous opinion opinion that Saudis celebrated too much after the first match. 

 

I think they played good today, they lost because of lack of concentration.

I can only hope Poland will not repeat this mistake now.
