We have not seen Roy Keane angry since Mick McCarthy accused him of feigning an injury in Japan …
Croatia had every right to get angry with officials of the World Cup final after two big calls against them.
Antoine Griezmann dipped after receiving a minimum of contact and then resumed to bad a goal that resulted in a Croatian own goal. Then, after the equalization of Ivan Perisic, they conceded a penalty after a long delay of VAR [Video Assisted Replay].
A corner was badped that hit Perisic's arm, who was at his side, and Griezmann scored the penalty. The referee went into the Var to take a look at Ivan Perisic's handball. But was it accidental?

At halftime, on ITV, Lee Dixon was the first to intervene and claimed that the referee Nestor Pitana had made the wrong choice.
Ian Wright argued that, if he was a French player, he would be looking for a penalty for handball.
At this point, Keane entered and he was absolutely livid. He said:
"This decision disgusts me, it disgusts me
" Croatian players deserve better than that. I am furious. "
The former captain of Manchester United and Ireland was not there yet, he continued:
" This referee has never played football. I guarantee it – he has never played football. "
After the commercial break, Keane tried to stay calm, but finally failed.
"It takes common sense … If the game ends like this I will talk about the referee.
" It's a World Cup final. We're supposed to talk about players not that … that idiot! "
It was the liveliest we saw Keane the whole tournament.
