Referees from the game in Tehran
Iran won the match by 3-2, while Polish media immediately started accusing referees for not doing their job well. In some texts on the internet you can literally find accusations that the referees could not understand each other, not just because of the noise, but because their English was not good! Due to lack of communication, Stephane Antiga even tried to draw a video replay request in the tie-break (?!), reports sportowefakty.pl.
The same source writes that Michal Kubiak was especially furious after the game and that he literally said:
“I wish the referees were simply better. At such a high level of volleyball you can not accept such errors that have been committed.”
The second game between Iran and Poland is scheduled for Sunday and it might be the decisive clash in the battle for World League Final-Six.
