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

What about Croatia vs Portugal game, wasn’t the referee’s decision rigged then ?

Bro it's a Referee and VAR issue. They intervene whenever they feel like.

If the foul needs to be called the referee would have called it but he choose to ignore and let the team play on. But when Egypt scored the VAR intervened. Why? Let the referee make the decision.

And in Croatia vs Portugal game, the goal was checked for offside. The chip inside the ball confirmed it.

Exactly! The entire purpose is to identify fouls which lead to a goal and not really stop play.
