2026 World Cup: Disgraceful – Drogba fumes as Norway eliminate Cote d’Ivoire
Cote d’Ivoire legend, Didier Drogba, has slammed the Video Assistant Referee, VAR, after his country was eliminated from the 2026 World Cup.
The Elephants were beaten 2-1 by Norway in their Round of 32 clash on Tuesday night.
Antonio Nusa opened the scoring in the first half, before Amad Diallo levelled for the Ivorians.
But Erling Haaland tapped home the winner late in the game, to send Norway through.
After the game, Drogba took to his X page, to question why Nicolas Pepe didn’t get a penalty for a foul in the area.
“Disgraceful that penalty not given for Nicolas Pépé… what is VAR even for?” Drogba wrote.
Norway will now play Brazil in the last 16 of the tournament.
