Modric was speaking at a post-match conference where he expressed his anger concerning some of the calls that was made during the game. Officiating at this FIFA World Cup has been a bone of convention for most of these players, officials and spectators.
The Real Madrid midfielder who probably had played his last game for Croatia expressed his anger after the game.
Argentina was a fair winner of the game, they were better, they deserved to win, but these things have to be mentioned, I generally don't do them, but today they have to be done. I don't like to talk about referees but this is one of the worst. I don't have a good memory of him, he's a disaster. For me it wasn't a penalty. Despite this, I don't want to detract from Argentina. The penalty killed us. We have to recover for third place and win that game.
