France beat Croatia in Sunday's World Cup final 4-2, but many Croatia fans think that the first two goals that their side conceded were as a result of poor refereeing decisions by the on-field referee, Nestor Pitana.
The first goal came from a free-kick that Mario Mandzukic headed in to his own net, but many think that the Argentine was fooled by a dive from French forward Antoine Griezmann in giving the foul that led to the free-kick.
Speaking about that decision in the 'Daily Mail', the former Premier League referee agreed with the Croatian fans that felt the foul to be unjust, saying that "Antoine Griezmann anticipated a foul by Marcelo Brozovic and flung his legs out behind himself. The way both his legs flew out was a real tell-tale sign for any experienced match official so I was surprised Pitana was taken in."
Croatia managed to equalise in the game through Ivan Perisic, but they lost their lead when their goalscorer was judged to have handled the ball deliberately in the box.
Pitana did not give the decision initially, but after the protests of the French players and the advice of the VAR he decided to check the decision again.
The official was unsure about the decision, as he left the VAR area and then went back to watch the footage again, but made the call to give France a penalty that changed the course of the game.
For many, including the Croatian manager Zlatko Dalic, the uncertainty means that Perisic should have been given the benefit of the doubt, however Poll disagrees.
"There was plenty of debate around what constitutes deliberate handball but the movement of the arm to the ball means it was deliberate and a penalty was the correct decision." he said.
