The US soccer team won against Australia 2-0 in the World Cup on Friday. Australia’s forward Nestory Irankunda criticized the referee, Felix Zwayer, saying he had a ‘stinker’ and gave every call to the US.
Australia’s Complaints
Australia’s manager Tony Popovic also complained about the referee, saying he gave too many fouls away. One of the more controversial moments in the match came when the Americans appeared to score their second goal, which was initially called back for offside but was later determined to be valid after a VAR review.
Assistant coach Paul Okon argued that their goalkeeper Patrick Beach was impeded during the play. Despite the complaints, Popovic gave credit to the Americans and admitted his players looked ‘sluggish’ on Friday.
