World Cup: 'Not even a VAR check with Messi' - South Africa boss Hugo Broos slams officiating

South Africa coach Hugo Broos criticized World Cup officiating, citing Lionel Messi as an example of preferential treatment. Star player Themba Zwane received a three-match suspension for a red card in the opening match against Mexico. Broos believes the red card was excessive, especially after Messi avoided punishment for a dangerous tackle against Algeria without even a VAR check. Zwane risks missing the rest of the tournament if South Africa does not advance past the group stage.
