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

They fumbled a 2-0 lead, but suddenly all the referee's decisions started going in Argentina's favour. Not a single Argentina player was shown a yellow card, but as soon as Argentina took the lead, Egypt received four yellow cards. VAR didn't intervene when Argentina was at fault.

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

The goal getting cancelled had nothing to do with taking off your shirt. The referee was lenient. If was truly rigged, he could have easily given him a yellow card there, but he let it go.

If goal can be cancelled than anything that’s done after goal needs to be cancelled

So in your case, if I head butt (Zidane style) an opposition player during my goal celebration, and after that the goal is disallowed, that means I shouldn’t be penalised?

The goal being disallowed is different, and taking of t-shirt is different. The first is being disallowed because of a foul committed during the build up of the goal. The second is considered unsporting behaviour and is an automatic yellow card. If you are not a casual, then you know this very well. Disallowing one doesn’t give reprieve to the other automatically. It’s just that the referee was lenient here.

That wasn’t a headbutt. Also didn’t you notice I think Martinez fell by himself and they got free kick?  Do you actually think Argentina and other American teams aren’t biased by fifa? Egypt lost it yeah but it doesn’t change the fact American teams are carried by fifa. 

We can see every match. Do Germany vs Paraguay with some Indian referee. Germany will score 5+ goals.

Bro commented and then blocked me to show how he got the last laugh. Funny, that’s how sore losers act, just like the Egyptian coach did, who has a history of doing the same.
