1860 investor Ismaik sharply criticizes FIFA.
The association should have suspended the Asia Cup final due to poor refereeing.
Hasan Ismaik is angry.
But before the alarm bells ring for all lion fans: No, for once it's not about 1860.
The Jordanian investor is upset with FIFA.
Reason: The final of the Asia Cup last Saturday.
In this match, host Qatar scored three penalties against Jordan (final score 3-1) to defend their title.
“It’s time to change the laws of football.”

The outstanding attacker Akram Afif (22nd minute, 73rd and 90th +5) scored all three goals for the 2022 World Cup host country from penalties.
Jordan, who surprisingly defeated South Korea under German coach Jürgen Klinsmann in the semi-finals, held up well overall, but only managed to equalize through Yazan Al-Naimat (67').
Ismaik senses a scandal and mocked an “inspiring referee team” on his social media channels.
The FIFA officials did not fulfill their duty to interrupt the game.
Ismaik therefore wants to take FIFA to task: “It is time to change the laws of football.
It’s time for a people’s revolution against FIFA!”
(yeah)
