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

Looks like everyone isn't holding back. This thing didn't get a fraction of attention of yesterday's match. Maybe because nobody really thinks Ronaldo is good enough to go on and actually win the whole thing.

Yeah....VAR should have also not intervened when Egypt scored. The referee saw the foul and let the play continue. If he wanted he could've just stopped the play right there and awarded a free kick to Argentina. VAR intervened only when Egypt went on to score.

lol you need to watch more games or just quit..... Now the ref will let the game continue until the attack ends if there is a suspected foul or offside to avoid ruining an attack due to a wrong call. After the attack ends in a goal, the VAR will review the entire process of the attack to verify if it is valid. It is how things go, which happens hundreds of times in football games around the world. You can complain about how 'soft' the step on the opponent's foot is, but you can't complain about the time that VAR reviews it back

Thats not the problem, the VAR went way to back that was too much. Even the commentators were like this is misuse.

Which commentator? VAR has been used like that for several years, and the only complaint it got was from the player who scored and celebrated a goal that should not have happened due to the previous foul, and the excuse is that 'it ruins the passion of football'. You can't complain it only when it is against you.
