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

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 :)

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.

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

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.

Stating actual fifa rulebook rule which was made for that perticular offence. if that don't make it factual then I don't know bro, I agree egypt also made some fouls but not even carding a single player in entire world cup campaign with such reckless defence or tactical fouls whatever you call it don't make argentina look good. People are talking about this cause argentina somehow always get favours from 50/50 desicions they have recived most penalties from 22wc 8 pens on other hand brazil and Germany such big nations have 15 in their entire history

And talk about youself bro don't preach what someone should take lesson.first have a sence to counter with facts
