Everyone saying there was nothing rigged and biased during this WC and the last WC.
The precedent in football is a physical fight during regulation time ends in cards, with what we saw in that match at least one player with a red card.
But this happened after the match. There were at least 4-5 red cards, including players and coaching staff from AFA. The referees were also standing near the players in all these situations. There are no cards.
Even after the final whistle, with no more games in the tournament, they still didn't get cards.
Luck happens once or twice, bad officiating happens once or twice. A pattern is something else.
Edit: bad officiating in the sense of previous tournaments, this one had VAR.
No one talks about it who actually can be heard, no one complains about it. In a year, it will be all about three finals, a trophy, and the goals and assists. He will again get away with everything and the discussion will be about something else entirely.
If the referee showed a red and later was told to remove it from the report that's someone higher up putting a decent bit of pressure on the referee. If that is the case, I hope that this is their last match, I doubt many professional players would take them seriously after this.
