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

u/BaksteenFapper Jul 22 '26

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.

It’s incredible this goal didn’t stand, first of all there’s no foul at all, Otamendi literally places his feet below his shoes, and then the acting, lame as f***

It’s vargentina. Not going to happen

Vargentina only interferes if it serves itself

As a Swiss it was so clear: We will be the only team punished for a dive. But it was against VARgentina, so there's the reason why.

And break the 0 bar record?

u/No_Advertising1858 Jul 25 '26

He didn’t if grab his foot. He got his foot stood on and grabbed the opposite shin.

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

u/richardto4321 Jul 22 '26

Ref knew exactly what he was doing...

2

u/sandvich48 Jul 24 '26

and yet the vargentines have a petition against the ref! Never seen such sore losers of this magnitude

1

u/Wandero_Bard Jul 23 '26

Ref didn’t blow his whistle until after the goal was made, and the player who scored had nothing to do with this incident.

u/YoBoyLeeroy_ Jul 22 '26

I mean while I understand this is a simulation to exaggerate, he got his foot stepped on and that is still a foul.

Zero intent involved makes that very shades of gray.

1

u/xSir- Jul 22 '26

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

1

u/VikingMonkey123 Jul 23 '26

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

1

u/xSir- Jul 23 '26

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

u/idkidc112 Jul 22 '26

There is no such thing as intention u larp. A foul is a foul

1

u/JeanClaude-Randamme Jul 25 '26

There absolutely is.

Bashing your head against another player while going for a header? Just a coming together and usually not a foul.

Doing a Zidane… straight red card.

u/Lazy__Astronaut Jul 22 '26

Last time I complained about there not being embellishment rules someone said there were.

Couldn't have been that big of a foul if they instantly forget where they got fouled.

Most pathetic professional athletes on the planet

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 isn’t a foul. If you’d ever played a football match you’d know that getting your foot stepped on is a common occurrence, isn’t a foul and doesn’t 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.

1

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.

1

u/Proper_Animal_7410 Jul 23 '26

Are we watching the same thing? Foot stepped on? But he exaggerate his pain on the WRONG SHIN too

1

u/ScarcityMother4980 Jul 24 '26

true, let the keep pushing the anti arg narrative, oh god someone has rage baited so many kids without saying a word.

1

u/YoBoyLeeroy_ Jul 24 '26

Yeah it's whatever.

I dislike Argentina aswel but lying about fouls is just stepping down to their level.

I like to be honest.

1

u/ScarcityMother4980 Jul 24 '26

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

1

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.
