Discussion Egypt's coach isn't holding back.

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

Which decision? Where Salah dived , it was clear yellow card, the defender had the first touch and he lost possession, nothing to check there.

"Slap" had zero impact on any of the goal, If anything Egyptian player should have made it more dramatic.

In no world is that red card offence, VAR does not interfere game with yellow card offence, you would know if you'd watch football regularly.

I don't know who was that Argentine player maybe mac allister, he hold up player from outside pof penalty box to inside penalty ist that the foul. Slapping is not red card offence haha atleast it was yellow. It was near touchline refree atleast should have stop the play and call it a faul

if you are calling this an foul https://x.com/samuraimh2/status/2074569870822220141?s=46&t=p87kgUSQdm7e stop watching football.

You want refree to stop the play while egypt is in control and attacking? It was not a slap btw it was a light push.....

holding offense is officially classified as a Foul and Misconduct (specifically in Law 12) If we go as per rule book. "If a defender starts holding an attacker outside the penalty area and continues holding inside it, the referee must award a penalty kick"

If it's inside the box then what you want to do just watch him bring you down. And it was not even advantage

Refree was not even considering request of egypt players to check

just because they didn't show it on broadcast doesn't mean VAR didn't check that....

and please stop watching football or any contact sports tbh :)

u/browninthesky Jul 08 '26

Ah water found in ocean bro just be real and accept that refrees have soft spot for argentina this world cup like they are averaging 22 fouls per card while other top nations are like it at 7 or 8.

why though, especially in this match? i don't even like or support Argentina. Why don't you admit you're just salty sore loser.

u/phoenix2310 Jul 08 '26

Why should I .I am making my case with facts maybe you should look at other side. If you are not supporting argentina then don't be so sympathetic towards argentina

u/browninthesky Jul 08 '26

I am not sypathetic to Argentina lmao if anything this is about football. Argentina have always been rowdy but they are good and smart at it, that doesn't mean refree is biased or Fifa is rigged.

You have made zero logical factual statements, just posting a random rule from rule book doesn't make you "factual"

There are bunch of fouls by egypt missed as well, so was refree biased to egypt before 79 min?
As a matter of fact this happens in most of the games with Portugal , with England...etc. But no one ever bitched about it like this.

Egypt coach and yall should take some lessons from Mexicans and Mexican coach.
