Referee denies FIFA bias towards Messi

Former assistant referee Darren Cann emphasized that referees in the World Cup operate independently and that there is no conspiracy to influence match results in favor of a particular team or star player. He stressed that decisions are made based on what the referee sees on the field, and acknowledged that mistakes are part of human nature. He explained that referees undergo intensive training schedules and participate in specialized camps, affirming that there are no secret meetings or instructions guiding them. Additionally, he highlighted that conspiracy theories harm referees by subjecting them to pressure and threats. He clarified that referees' decisions during matches are made quickly and are not influenced by the identities of players or teams, and stated that there is no evidence of interventions or plots to ensure a specific team’s victory. He reaffirmed that the main goal of referees is to deliver fair performance, and while a referee’s decision can be mistaken, it is not affected by intent or favoritism.
