Several days after the controversy surrounding the alleged red card for Balogun and the involvement of Donald Trump, the global football community continues to generate significant discussion. Even with the United States team eliminated from the tournament, the intensity of the debate remains high. Joško Jeličić, a former professional footballer for Hajduk and Dinamo Zagreb and now an analyst, offered notably explicit commentary regarding the state of the Croatian media and football governance.
Jeličić addressed the prevailing atmosphere, expressing frustration with the direction of modern football. He directed his criticism toward international bodies, naming FIFA, Trump, and Gianni Infantino. According to his statements, these figures, along with the media coverage, have distanced the sport from its fundamental nature.
He suggested that football should remain connected to the common people and the working class. The analyst implied that the current focus of the sport was not where it should be, claiming that certain elements are trying to position themselves in front of the sport’s true spirit. He argued that the current governance structure fails to beat the passion inherent in the game.
Jeličić suggested that the narrative surrounding the World Cup is undermining the core values, and that these powerful entities are manipulating the sport away from the fans. His comments have sparked further debate about accountability and the direction of global football administration.
