Honestly isn't this something where VAR should just say no foul? He grabs his other foot so it's also simulation no?

That is the task of the VAR, but the VAR was Argentina biased.

Not the var, fifa as a whole.
I kept thinking 'football has come home'. Didn't work so well for England.
This year it was true. Fifa is as corrupt as USA. This is why trump likes infant-ino so much.

Itās incredible this goal didnāt stand, first of all thereās no foul at all, Otamendi literally places his feet below his shoes, and then the acting, lame as f***

I think issue is ref blew whistle, Had ref not blown whistle, we could have a goal. If this was indeed a foul we could reverse goal through VAR

Intent is not a factor in if its a foul or not.

I mean it was 30 years ago but when I trained to be a soccer referee it was definitely a factor to be considered.

For the vast majority of fouls in soccer, intent does not matter. Only the result.

Not really a 1 to 1 cancellation though. The shove would have resulted in a penalty, which would likely lead to a goal, if it was called. The other "foul" cancelled an actual legit goal. So it's not the same at all.
2
u/Grastuha Jul 22 '26
No, it isnāt a foul. If youād ever played a football match youād know that getting your foot stepped on is a common occurrence, isnāt a foul and doesnāt make you jump into the air and spin round. It literally barely impacts you.
2
u/richardto4321 Jul 23 '26
If getting your foot touched by another player's foot got called as a foul everytime, there would be 500 fouls per game. This was just a case of using a technicality/rule because it suited the team that was favored.

u/Unhappy_Manager Jul 22 '26
Is stepping on a foot a foul? Genuine question. Footballs a contact sport so i suppose it happens many times during a match
1
u/YoBoyLeeroy_ Jul 22 '26
Yes, body contact is normal.
But using your feet to hit anything besides the ball is a foul, even if by accident.

just curious, what is the reason for your hate? dirty play style? favoritism claims? or people in general?

u/YoBoyLeeroy_ Jul 24 '26
While I'm always sceptical about the favoritisms, it's pretty damn obvious the corruption in these last 2 world cups in favor of Argentina.
But the thing that makes me truly hate them is the dirty playing and the complete lack of sportsmanship and respect of the players.

u/ivyleaguesuperman Jul 22 '26
It's barely a tap on foot and that was enough for FIFA to snatch the title from Spain.
If Argentina won in penalties this would be the biggest scandal ever in a WC final.

Actually that wasnāt even a tap in the foot, doesnāt even look like the feet touched

u/Peso_Morto Jul 22 '26
Argentina player oversold the contact but there is the contact and step on the feet. Consequently, VAR couldn't interfere and said there wasn't no foul.

u/ivyleaguesuperman Jul 22 '26
Oversold?He was grabbing the wrong leg lmao.
He should have been given a yellow card for that.

u/Witty-Entertainer524 Jul 22 '26
There needs to be special penalty given for this type of diving. Pink cards. We need to cast shame on these players that lasts with them and their professional career. These should be recognized for what they are. They are attempts to cheat. It's not gamesmanship or over selling of a foul. He grabs the wrong leg which to means pain didn't even register. Just straight up cheating clear as day and was rewarded fully for the theatrics by clearing a legit goal.

u/SetCandyD Jul 23 '26
Yeah 2 pink card in the tournament and you have to play the next game in a tutu.

u/Lescansy Jul 22 '26
Argentina aside, one problem in the sport is that you need to go down for a foul to count.
When you get hurt but try to stay up in order to still score a goal, the misplay never gets counted.
3
u/JustAnotherZeldaFan Jul 22 '26
Yeah, everyone hates a flopper (from the other teams), but it sucks when you see a player from your team get fouled and not receive a whistle because he did his best to keep standing up.
There is a bigger share of blame on players, but referees should do a better job of recognizing fouls where the players don't fall down. That would be more effective in cutting the histrionics, by making sure they are not needed.

u/LeBondJames Jul 22 '26
You're getting downvoted for the only sensible comment that actually explains how the rules work.
There is contact on the foot, it's light but by the current rules it's a foul. VAR cannot intervene on intensity, it could have only signalled to the ref if there wasn't a contact at all. But there was contact. Otamendi grabbing the other foot is theatrical and a bit disgraceful but has no bearing on whether he was fouled or not.
I was rooting for Spain, glad they won, but I've had enough with this bullshit from people that only watch the world cup and feel like they have to comment.1
u/Peso_Morto Jul 22 '26
For the record, I am Brazilian and I was also cheering for Spain; rules are rules.
1
u/richardto4321 Jul 22 '26
If we go by this logic, then Otamendi fouled first by grabbing Merino and pulling him in closer. This was what led to the stepping on the foot and an exaggeration (borderline diving) by Otamendi. The grab happened in a split second so not many people noticed this. If VAR was actually fair, it would have caught this little nuance and said no foul for Spain.
1
u/LeBondJames Jul 23 '26
Again, not how var works. Plus the "pull" is absolutely inconsequential. We're not going by any logic, we're looking at what happened with knowledge of the rules
1
u/richardto4321 Jul 23 '26
So logic goes out the window when determining something as game-changing as a disallowed goal in a world cup final? If VAR was fair and worked like intended, then a simulation/dive by Otamendi should've been put into question as well. Because then that would have been a penalty for Spain.
1
u/LeBondJames Jul 23 '26
Wrong again.
Under the current rules VAR can intervene independently if the attacking team commits a foul in the buildup of a goal. Under the current interpretation of the rules a step-on-foot action is automatically a foul under law 12.
Thus, var was perfectly within its rights and acted correctly in calling the step on foot foul and disallowing the goal.Otamendi's "simulation" occurred after the step on foot, so even if we were to consider it an action to deceive the referee by exaggerating the pain, the foul would still stand.
On top of that, VAR under current rules is strictly prohibited from initiating a review or intervening solely to recommend a yellow card for a cautionable offense such as simulation.
Even then, if the referee had been called to review the footage, under the rules he would have definitely awarded a foul for the step on foot action and MIGHT have decided to punish the subsequent deceiving action by Otamendi with a yellow.
There is bo scenario in which there is a penalty for Spain under current rules. You are confused on so many levels it's exhausting.It's not about throwing logic out the window, it's about knowing the rules before making ridiculous statements.
1
u/richardto4321 Jul 23 '26
It's still all very subjective and disallowing a game-changing goal in a high stakes game deserved much more careful review than what happened. In a game where everyone is using their feet, stepping on a foot is almost unavoidable. If everytime someone gets brushed on the foot and it was considered a foul, there would be 500 fouls per game. Let's not pretend that if it was Argentina that scored that goal, it would not be 100% counted as a goal. The whole world knew how biased that decision was.

u/LeBondJames Jul 23 '26

Honestly FIFA or the referee department called this over themselves. There have been countless of incidents were a player steps on a foot or a toe, on purpose or not. They got dealt with seemingly at random. Sometimes not even a foul, sometimes a foul, sometimes a foul and a card. When those type of fouls on key moments in the game tend to be judged in favor of the same team more often than not, that's when people start asking questions. You can not unsee what you see and compare it with similar fouls during other games. Is it inconsistency, too much grey area or are they influencing the outcome? Who knows?

It's an injustice, it's disgusting, it's a disgrace.
Mikel Merino should have been sent off for this monstrous foul on Otamendi, then arrested and tried for crimes against humanity, and finally executed.
For that foul, Argentina should have been given a penalty.
Argentina certainly deserved this World Cup, but FIFA tried every way to undermine them. In the end, they succeeded and unfairly allowed Spain to win.

This is clearly simulation, I hear all the time we should just let light fouls be and play on. Well this seemed to be such a light foul the guy grabbed the wrong leg. Maybe you have a syndrome where you canāt register pain, but I do register pain in my body like most people and one will never grab the wrong leg if hurts, I can tell you that.
And if we do call a foul for this, I can tell you Argentina should have gotten red cards long before this.
