Refs were shocking. But everyone knew that going in, still couldn't fix it.

Hot takes? More like lukewarm nonsense. Refereeing has been poor for years, nothing new.

Leo McKenzie2026-07-22T06:35:00.000Z

Yeah nah the refs were bad but the footy was mint. Get over it.

Luca Reid2026-07-22T06:55:00.000Z

First world problems tbh. Still a great tourney.

Rowan Blake2026-07-22T07:11:00.000Z

The standard of the final was so low. Ref wasn't the only issue.

Mason Young2026-07-22T07:17:00.000Z

Get stuffed, you lot. Refs had a hard job, do better.
