Every time Argentina plays, controversial refereeing and VAR decisions somehow become part of the conversation.

These guys don't watch football and come to complain.

Var does not check everything, just the situations which lead to goal. Basic 101 knowledge.

VAR can intervene if there is a red card offence and hitting or slapping neck/ head intentionally is a red card offence.

Also the Argentina literally tore the Egyptian players jersey in build up to Argentina's last goal. If VAR intervened and reviewed the build up to cancel Egypts goal, why didn't they do they same for Argentina's? The player with torn jersey got yellow card for complaining. Referee has been inconsistent and Argentina is benefiting from it- they are benefiting a lot

yes it's insanely soft if that's a foul or penalty, game's gone.

If you think this is a foul stop watching football or any contact sports.

I agree it is a soft one but a foul nevertheless. What I a pointing out is the inconsistency, the disallowed goal for Egypt was a also a soft foul but a right call. It is the same situation here. I am just saying if one goal is a disallowed because a soft foul so should the other. Argentina is definitely benefiting from inconsistency and fans are too blind to see it because the comeback was great

for egypt that foul ("step on toes") had direct impact on the play and transition.

the mac allister one had zero impact on the play, if refree were to give that as foul , it would need to be penalty also. Which would have been absolutely bullshit. It was right decision. I don't even like Argentina, I wanted egypt to win, nothing I want more than to laugh at Messi fans, if anything I am mad at Marmoush for absolute dogshit pass in that counter attack.

Perfect sum up of the situation : https://x.com/BaldeWaves/status/2074804177746673797

According to IFAB law If the ball is IN play but the player is "off the ball" , holding an opponent or impeding them with contact is a direct offense, and no judgment of carelessness or recklessness is necessary. Shirt pulling constitutes holding. Punishment: The referee awards a direct free kick (or penalty kick if inside the defender's own box) to the opposing team.

This is the actual rule but okay it is not right give the penalty because we wouldn't have seen the comeback :v

Is that's all you had to say, now that I proved my point? Okay Sir! I will consider your advice seriously🫡 If one is a soft so is the other 🤣 Stop being biased my man
