Commentator Loses FIFA Credentials
Almiron Red Card Sparks Rant
FIFA revoked commentator Jorge Vera’s World Cup credentials after his expletive-filled on-air rant. This erupted when Paraguay’s Miguel Almiron became the first player ever sent off for covering his mouth while speaking to an opponent during their 1-0 win over Turkey. Vera called officials ‘thieves’ and accused them of ‘killing football’ post-VAR.
