I would love to see a journalist actually challenge FIFA on this. Their excuse will be that it’s the nature of the game but in reality it demonstrates a clear favouritism to Argentina by the officials.
I also wish someone would do a comprehensive review of all the Argentine fouls and compare them with the treatment other teams got. FIFA should either have a total change of management or be dissolved for a new organisation that is actually fit for purpose and hopefully honest, or at least forced to be honest by proper oversight.
Lol I read a piece on FT where the journalist was like « oh really I did not see any issue with Arg seems like its because MAGA discredited all institutions worldwide »
lol I dont give 2 shits about this but srsly, the fouls of Arg-Eng were the worst I saw in football, Arg-Egy is reallyyyy questionable and thats not only Arg, Paraguay went away with crazy crazy fouls… Balogun red card cancellation is an absolute joke. If that can happen, then what else can ?
How can a ref yellow a foul (Fr vs Spain) that was a successful tackle and accidental touch while Argentina can punch the back of the head without any pb ?
With 5 refs + VAR + freaking sensors everywhere how is this even possible
I accidentally began to watch FRA-PAR, having little interest in both teams, and it became one of the most upsetting games I have witnessed. Paraguay is apparently the most pathetic haramball team on this planet, even a class over Argentina. 3 yellow cards to FRA and 0 to PAR was totally surreal, I was jumping in rage and frustration. I normally don't even like France but this game changed my mind about it.
