I expected him to be perfectionist, especially now with VAR. But... Nestor is proof that just one bad game can ruin your own reputation for life. Even with VAR he made bad decisions and he did that in a world cup final, you just dont do that... Its even more tragic because of VAR, I guess we all thought that technology will make football more fair, but what for is great technology when you have judge as Nestor doing a job? Poorly done, shameful, I hope he wont judge any other final ever, people dont deserve to feel robbed. Total disgrace.
The best referee in the -world- universe. Confirmed! RESPECT.
someone needs to inspect this guy's bank account; this guy has corruption face. making fool of everyone who were watching that game is not nice thing to do; shameless FIFA
He is a referee in Argentina and is the best in his position
Este no es corrupto, vos no sabes los referees que hay en sudamérica, son uno más desastroso que el otro. Este es bastante bueno. No coincido en que tenga arreglo, todos los partidos que dirigió, gano el que mejor planteo el partido.
Because of him argentina lost in round of 16
dive for free kick that led to first goal and unintentional handball counted as a penalty
Argentina lose 2 matches in this WC,against Croatia (3-0) and France (4-3).
Now an argentine is the ref of the final,between Croatia and France

thank you for destroying the finals, pitana. first you fell for a dive, then you allowed a free kick, although you were NOT sure.
you awarded the cheaters and sent a great message to the world: "just cheat and you'll be fine"
WORST REFEREE EVER!!! He should be BANNED for LIFE!!!!
The 12th player of France.

Kurdistan Éternel you don’t have a country
@Kurdistan Éternel where you from? From which part of Africa?
He has been very good throughout the tournament, but he messed up the final by gifting two goals to France. Ah well we all make mistakes but his will be remembered for decades to come
He was very good. I confirm!
jajaja que gol regalo?
el segundo gol si fue penal
nestor putana😁
Very bad in the final.France scored the first goal from a non existing free kick(also there was interferrence from a french player in an offside position).Penalty should not be awarded,it was a split second for Perisic to move his hand from the ball).
There was penalty.
Congrats for recognizing Pogba's active offside at first goal ,pushing Mandžukić.That should have been recorded by VAR
Wrong referee for the final. To much mistakes. So much uncertainty
He was the argentinian referee of -France 2-0 Uruguay- just after the -France 4-3 Argentina- in this world cup, and as a french I can tell you he did an incredible job there, I'm so happy he has been chosen for this final, totally deserved.
(sorry for my poor french english)
Samfou he hate mbappé
Why would he ?
Samfou tu n'as pas raison. Il as fait des erreus que personne aurai fait.
Samfou parce que mbappé à mis KO l'Argentine, tt simplement
Vous êtes perdu, il a très bien arbitré la rencontre l'ensemble du monde du foot s'est accordé là dessus.
Awarding a 100% dive and later a pen for France, and not giving a pen for Croatia, all that in the WC 2018 FINAL....well, i hope FIFA wont let this guy on the pitch anymore. He can be the best ref in the world but messing up the finals so bad is unforgivable mistake.
No foul on the first goal, it's a big Griezman simulation and he gives a penalty for an unintentional hand of Perisic while Matuidi missed the ball in front of him. This was the referee of the final ?! It's shameful ! He's a bad referee, like Cunha also they have always been very bad ...
Learn football, if a handball is inintentionnal that's not a reason to don't give a penalty.
Yes I know France like Handball but I don't understand, because I play football and this robish should never gived a penalty.
@@OrAzO93
Why he shouldn't ?
Because Matuidi have played and missed the ball. If he touch the ball, it would never been touched by the Croatian, so it's can't be intentional. You see in camera you thing that but it's too fast, and he couldn't know Matuidi would miss the ball.
@@OrAzO93
What ?! A lot of referees does it, that's not new. Maybe the handball wasn't intentional, but we can see Perisic who move his arm to touch the ball.
Dear Nestore, you've got glasses. And a new cheek. Because you lost it in the final match of the mundial. Greetings from Croatia :P
Unfortunately the ref made multiple errors in judgement. Particularly the first two goals awarded to France shouldn't have.
The first goal was not a foul at all. Antoine Griezmann dived before the opponent touch him. The ref was too far to see it and blew his whistle only by Griezmann reaction!!
The 2nd goal wasn't a penalty. First the defender's was up in the air challenging for the ball. Then the ball passed the French striker and reached him too quickly. Third the movement of the defenders' hands were in the natural direction considering he was descending. So this would not have been called a handball.
So all in all this was the most erroneous judgement of a World Cup final, ever?
Perisic jumped with both arms opened, hardly ever a handball is intentionally, he blocked the ball with his arm opened, it's a penalty. In that case Pique's handball against Russia shouldn't be a penalty, "because the ball reached him too quickly".
Juanchovader
The ball missed the French players head and went into Perisic who quickly tried to move his hands closer to his body in case the ball hits him - not deliberate handball.
The referee was clearly biased toward France
@@OrangeBroom seems you don't know the rules, if the ball hits a player's hand without it being close enough to his body, then it's a penalty, doesn't matter if there was no intention, doesn't matter if he was trying to take his hand away from the ball at the time the contact happened, it's a penalty. As simple as that.
Learn the rules or go cry to your mom.
I wonder if he's given any kind of reaction or response about the final given the amount of controversy over that free kick and penalty
No hes probably hiding behind his huge bag of money he got
This ref is corrupt and a clown.
The ref who made not one. But two gols for France.
The first goal is an auto-goal by Croatia and the second is a clear handball and thanks to the VAR for obliging the referee to apply the technical rules despite his anti-french resentment! Only Africa support us, so sad!
arcenciel irise Ok so grisman did not dive and pogba was not offside you choose. 2 there were players who made contact with the ball in that play both did not show any entention.
Call the VAR if you don't agree with the ref. Not me because he is anti-France and I can do nothing for you!!
arcenciel irise well that kills your un educated opinion.
Mike Rivera true, France probably payed him
He’s been the best referee of the tournament alongside with the Iranian referee
Nick Ronaldo The iranian was shit. Have you seen argentina-france?
David Salcedo So much fouls he missed
David Salcedo fuck off
Iranian referee Faghani will referee the 3rd place match England v Belgium
Sandro Meira Ricci too.
This means France gonna win... Because he is biased for France
Why?
fifas fault
I woukd like to see a interview so he explain the calls he made and why. Also If he felt extremly nervous about the mach. I think is awful that after mach all eyes are on the referee is like 2018 WC should be voided.
Argentina referee for France ?
Tony and Croatia
The referee has to be unbiased no matter whatever happens
Jejeje
He was in the match of France vs Uruguay
Roko Katavić yes but France eliminated Argentina...
Either corrupt or blind, he gifted France with 2 unjust goals that made the difference in the end. I know that people whine about refs all the time, but this one was at a whole new level. Check out the relevant scenes if you don't believe me. FIFA probablly bribed him to let the more multicultural team (France) win over the more nationalistic team (Croatia) in accordance with their corporate ideology. All these "say no to racism" projects and the ethnically divere ads produced by FIFA show where they stand. I thought that he had a pretty courrpt face when I first saw him. I fear that I was correct.
Tierchenmeister france deserved to win because they were the best in the tournament
brb Croatia were the best in the tournament
brb
Real score was 2-2. If France was going to win it then so be it, but you simply cannot award a team with 2 free goals in the FINAL of a god damn world cup
Totally think your right your smart to bring this up . I think FIFA is corrupt. And think this sjw gonna ruin our sport.
Bih Byfc01 that's a joke. Croatia won with penalties against Denmark ans Russia and with extra-time against England.
France won without extratime against Argentina,Uruguay and Belgium.
So don't say Croatia were better at the tournament
He destroyed Croatia and final game! France payed him well....
a joke is that guy!
I think Faghani, who is the referee for the third place match; was a better choice
The guy was awful in the Mexico vs Sweden game, even in the first 20 seconds he already made a mistake
This referee made many mistakes today! He helped France win by awarding them a dangerous free kick and a penalty which should not have happen. I believe any other referee would not have given a foul and penalty. Croatia's dominance during the first half would have a different outcome if not for the fact that the referee awarded France a free kick due to Griezmann's dive and a penalty. This just demoralized Croatia and killed their spirit. France cheated the world cup from Croatia, thanks to this lousy referee, I'm sure he will enjoy his bonus. A lousy world cup because of your stupid incompetence. I can not believe that the VAR referee agreed with his decision. VAR is stupid and has no place in Football, especially when referees still make the wrong calls. VAR is perhaps good for American Football but not European Football. I absolutely hate when referees use their power (or bribes) to change the outcome of what could be (or have been) a good match. Shame on you Mr. Referee.
yes, he awarded the cheater. he sends a great message to the world. "just cheat and you'll be fine"
He ruined WC Final. Bad !
FIFA should ban him forever. The french simulant fell to the grass himself and he gave free kick to france=goal. Then ball hit first the body and then the hand of defender....he gave penalty kick to france and practically decided this match. Shame on you, chump. Hope we never see you again.
At freekick, Pogba was in offside xD So..yeah, the referee was a shit..totally ruined this Final. On the Field, for their skills, Croatia could ABSOLUTLY win this game..even if tired. After 2 goals gifted, at the 80° it's obvious let them score again when u understand that's useless play vs a team of 12 then 11 :) Croatia best team in the world!
Teslares Pogba did nothing at this action so doesn't matter if he was offside
There was penalty.
It was PENALTY dude
it was penalty stop cry
Worst ref ever you were France 12th man
*BEST FRANCE PLAYER IN THE FINAL*
Nooooooooooooooooooo! This referee misses a lot of fouls!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Worst reff in the final! Bad penalty and freekick call! He ruined the final!
No It was clearly PENALTY
No it was clearly PENALTY
Kuipers was the best choice..
He was worthless. He's good at denying dives - but he misses too many actual fouls.
aztaclalz I think he’s really sharp and on top of the game, very skilled/correct referee.
@@FrenchViking466 well that's what you think, but the truth is he actually isn't...
Escrilecs Go play Fortnite
This is biggest guff ever, a scammer and bribed referee. Watch Croatia France finals replay. The only mystery is how much money he took for that game. I still don’t believe Croatia lost agains France. Croatia way better faster team with double more passes and lose game. What a shame for FIFA and for this crook
@zulfikangga africa wc winner hehe
Soy uruguayo... y cuando terminó el partido de Francia Uruguay, le dije a mi flia, este tiene que dirigir la final...
Lame culo!
Antonio Alvarado jaja lo mufe... siempre le erro y bue...
*World Cup FINAL: 🇫🇷 4-2 🇭🇷* *(Extra Time Included)*
*World Cup THIRD PLACE FINAL: 🇧🇪 2-0 🏴*
The iranian one in much better
Björn Kuipers would have been a good choice as a referee for the final (atleast in my humble opinion).
TheFrenchMonk true
TheFrenchMonk True
Faghani or Malanga or Ricci. But Pitana is a different level.
would have been the right choice not this shit that made it so stupid and now the winners dont seem like they deserved it at all
Disaster!
I like how UEFA choose referees from nations that are not in the world cup to prevent cheating!
OP Destroyer224 what happened I Wanst born them can you tell me
Lease?
2002 referee was from Ecuador, and they were not in the world cup.
What do you mean? The referee for the South Korea vs. Italy game (byron moreno) was from Ecuador who made it into the world cup but were already eliminated prior to the match. This referee for the final between France and Croatia is from Argentina who also made the world cup but got eliminated. I wouldn't be surprised if he'll be a bit unfair to the French since they eliminated Argentina....
Dr. Football he already refereed France
Dr. Football croatia also 3:0 argentina..
it was not a free kick, it was not a penalty. resign dude
ALLEZ LA FRANCE !!🇫🇷🇫🇷
mkamal99 it was not a freekick it was a penalty
@@yoyo-ex1cf
Read up on FIFA rules, hand-to-ball is a penalty, ball-to-hand isn't.
@@Maria-qw9om the action is hand- to-ball. Look at with the speed 0.25
@@Maria-qw9om
He moved his hand when he touched the ball : there is penalty.
Final... Bro just shame on you...
He will live the best moments of the WC Final
and he getting paid $50,000 USD
🇨🇵🏆🇨🇵🏆🇨🇵🏆
The best referee in the -world- universe. Confirmed! RESPECT.
@@zeus9619 the worst
Totally deserved. Hes been amazing in all the matches hes refeered in
Abc 124 He made very important mistakes in a few matches.
Jean Dupla On the yellow cards, and the penalty not given to sweden against mexico ( am i right? )
MultiGames 76 yeah but VAR sucks ass , anything seems like a penalty with slow mo
MultiGames 76 Yes and the match France vs Uruguay, Uruguay deserved more yellow cards that were not given. Also he totaly missed a corner and throw in???
Abc 124 you have to search "alberto raimundi pitana" or "raimundi laverni"
if he doesnt make the right decisions he will be turned into a Pinata
this man destroyed the final game of the world cup in 2018; 👎
You've gotta be kidding
I didn't know teams got 12th players, or that they got personal interviews?!?
Rigged ref
Disgrace of a referee, completely robbed Croatia.
No me parece mal árbitro, pero soy argentino y aca en los partidos importantes locales no lo ponen, siempre van otros, las veces que le tocó dirigir superclasicos (Boca vs River), por ejemplo, siempre fue polémico. Pero nadie puede negar que está haciendo un buen mundial👍
Lies again? American Education SAF SPF
zum wm finale 18 für die franzossen gepfiffen!!A...............
Disgraceful performance in da final should never ref a game again
Keep crying! Your salty tears are delicious!!
Jimmy Lo im 100% neutral im 🇮🇪 so no tears were shed
mafia
Ruined the match.
Silvio Augusto Couto It was a penalty... unless you're blind☺
LOBO NEGRO it was no a Penalty 1:0 Croatia fair
LOBO NEGRO yeah but there should have been more than just 3 minutes of stoppage time. He spent 3-4 minutes on the VAR analysis itself and he has the nerve to cut the true stoppage time in half.
LOBO NEGRO The ball deflected off Matuidi who was just half a yard away from Perisic, Perisic had no chance and time to move his hand away while the ball was travelling at that speed within such a short distance. Croatia had a couple of shots deflected off from France players but he gave goal kicks instead of corner kicks.
Blade Runner he moved his hand towards the ball, if he hadnt moved his hand it wouldnt have been a handball
Guys dont do that blame the VAR its the VAR who tells the referee what to do
corrupto
Jealousy! The best referee in the -world- universe. I confirm. RESPECT!
Agree Arcenciel irise, he is a good referee and Pierluigi Collina (the best and the boss) trusted him for the final. France won the WC and the haters/« jealous because my team is out » come with excuses. Congrats to France and Croatia for the game.
Elizondo un argentino dirigio a francia en la final de 2006... ahora otro argentino lo va a volver a dirigir en esta final a los franceses
buen Juez
Rafa yepez, 😂😂😂😂
¿qué insinuas? :v
Ojalá pierdan de vuelta
Elizondo no es uruguayo?
Lol this guy is a strict one, no players will argue with him 😂
Maroon man 😂😂 I think so ! I still remember the way he put Suarez in his place hahah
he is strict but horrible WOW GOOD ...
Bad judge , disgrace to FIFA
Not the best but his faults are globally balanced and he has for him not to be racist! RESPECT!
He shouldn’t be referring ever again after WC Final
He was incredible up until the final, but then his decisions were just waayyy off.
I like this Referees, he is the best of world now.
Alireza Faghani, you deserved this match! but don't let this disappoint you! You judged four matches and not even once did you ever used the stupid VAR, because you are a great and competent ref (unlike others). Keep doing what u do
T H I E F
Thankfully! Any referee would be better than the American referee in Morocco vs Portugal match & Korea vs Germany match.
He looks like Biff from Back to the Future
Thank you for destroying the final
Sure his real name isn't Nestor Puttana? He used to be actor apparently lol xD
*France eliminated Argentina*
FIFA : « Let’s put an argentinian referee for France-Uruguay »
*France eliminated Uruguay*
FIFA : « Let’s put an uruguayan referee for France-Belgium »
*France still won*
FIFA : « The argentinian referee sucked asf, let’s put him for the final France-Croatia »
Why him he is so bad
BEST ON THE WORLD...
Néstor Fabián Pitana is an Argentine football referee and former actor who refereed at the 2014 FIFA World Cup, 2015 Copa América and 2018 FIFA World Cup.
So an Argentinian after they got destroyed by Croatia and a former actor... amazing...
Francia🇫🇷 🗼ganó la Copa del Mundo🏆
Felicidades a todos los fans de Francia🇫🇷
Best
es mafia por eso lo pusieron en la final, obvio ganara Francia
DAX YT b n cs hh

you mean worst look france vs croatia WORST this is not blaming cause im mad taht croatia lost but cause he made 2 big horrible decisions granting france 2 goals
how much money did you get Pitana to kill the world cup finals ?
worst referee of all time... hope he looses his job...
I agree hes the best referee og this world cup really a mvp!!!
Pitana definiste la final del mundial.
He deserve it! Good Luck Nestor and enjoy!! : )
SOY ARGENTINO🇦🇷... ESTOY CONTENTO POR NESTOR PITANA😀👍👌👏
Before France vs Croatia
"Pitana, oh he's the sassy one who gives a lot of cards and hand motions that make it more interesting! He's Argentinian? Croatia 3-0 Argentina group stages, France eliminated Argentina, OK, good for my little Luka Modric!"
After France vs Croatia
"Pitana the one who counted Perisics uncontrolled arm movement an armball, Pitana who gave that Griezmann free kick for a reason I forgot, and resulted in 4-2 when it could've been 2-2"
Lol I know most of this isn't his fault but still 😠
At least it's not Mark Geiger. :v
Gonzo Lewd the American referee
Worst ref ever
Or France payed him
Not the best but his faults are globally balanced
JasonTT France payed him well
@@zeus9619 giving 2 goals in world cup is balanced?
I hate this referee
Hala Madrid He’s terrible, makes to much mistakes, let’s hope he will do a great job this time.
Oh you should be thankful it's not the referee from Korea vs Sweden
He is from Argentina... No wonder why he made ridiculous mistakes for advantages of France!. Joke this man is!
France was much better than croatia
He was against France. I'm french and I confirm it! Thanks to the VAR!
The VAR it's a joke shame of the VAR and this referee, he gived a "real free" kick for a simulation of Griezman, and a free penalty, it's scandalous !
The VAR was a joke when it favored one of the two teams while the referee made mistakes but who made up for themselves (Morocco, Colombia, ...)
it was helpful in the final to compensate the referee's decisions obviously biased against France.
France has never been favored by arbitration. A red card in the semifinal and another in the final of his own world cup in 1998!
A red card in final in 2006!
No country has ever been so mistreated by arbitration. But we never complained.
So we don't complain and thanks to the VAR.
Ahhaaa you're kidding it's very funny
You mean that it was useful in the end to compensate for biased decisions for France. In 2006, they help France as much as they can! In 1998, Thuram made a mistake against the Croatian player to take the ball, in the final Zidane made a mistake to Dunga too. The French team is never the best and their "lucky" is always favored by the referees.
A shame for the whole wold. I hate him for stealing the trophy form Kroatia. I hope he never has a nice day in his live.
True
Argentina referee in final , he might take revenge on France
Felicidades Sr. Nestor, la autoridad en cancha
Lixo
he has 3 eyes, thats good
It is to late for match fix becuse a lot of Croatian stars left for that cheating. But if you don't give trophie to Croatia I'm going to beat up pitana
perfect referee, was very good during France Croatia
Giving France 2 goals is "very good"? lol ok
was that a sarcasm?
He favored Brazil over mexico in all the calls. Forget this dude. Theres way better refs in Europe than him.
Best pick
The ref was on Frances side
When i saw who are the finalists and the referee i didn't think twice and bet half my paycheck on France, easy doubling, football is dead.
Also hate grezzman
Agreed, he showed the world he is a dirty diving cheat!
@Estrellakatarinathegreatrussian Maybe it's because I'm not an asslicker like "the great russian whore" take a hint sweetheart..the truth hurts ;)
