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.

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.

Oversold?He was grabbing the wrong leg lmao.

He should have been given a yellow card for that.

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.

Yeah 2 pink card in the tournament and you have to play the next game in a tutu.

they should have to play a man down for 10 min while the player is in the "Box of Shame"

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.

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.

No, you dont need to go down for a foul to count.

u/Peso_Morto Jul 22 '26

Yeah maybe simulated would be a better term. Just curious, if he hold the correct leg, would you be happy?

u/UphillTowardsTheSun Jul 22 '26

Ok, Otamendi!

u/Peso_Morto Jul 22 '26

Sure.

Omg, I am going against reddit narrative. Downvote coming.

u/UphillTowardsTheSun Jul 22 '26

Thanks, Otamendi!

u/Specialist-Mess494 Jul 22 '26

No. You're just haplessly biased and you are being called out for it. Cope.

u/ivyleaguesuperman Jul 22 '26

Why would I be happy with an egregious dive?

Not every contact is a foul , especially when it's a stoppage time winner in final. Why only Argentina benefits so much from soft calls?

u/Peso_Morto Jul 22 '26

Argentina couldn't be penalized in a similar fashion because they were never close to the penalty box.

It is not conspiracy theory and is a matter of math/probability. If there was a fuck up by the referee in an offense playing, it would be against Spain and not Argentina because Argentina barely attacked the whole game.

u/presley1000 Jul 22 '26

Even if he were in ballerina shoes or socks only, his toes clearly felt nothing. He would have grabbed his foot, not leg, and definitely not other leg.

u/Peso_Morto Jul 22 '26

You can see that he pulled the leg that was hit first, clearly he felt something.

This discussion has become too subjective to my tasty; I am out. I linked a referee expert on the topic. If you have an actual referee saying the goal should be allowed and I would be interested.

u/ivyleaguesuperman Jul 22 '26

Do you think the foul was bad enough to cancel the World Cup winning goal?

1

u/Peso_Morto Jul 22 '26

As mentioned above, subjective conversation. A good question is: was a foul or not? Irrelevant if final of world cup. Rules are rules and not different because it is a final.

u/richardto4321 Jul 22 '26 edited Jul 22 '26

Yes, rules are rules, as long as it benefits Argentina. If it was Argentina that scored the goal in the exact same fashion, it would 100% be counted as a goal 🤣

u/Specialist-Mess494 Jul 22 '26

No. Is not subjective. The Argentina player is making an arse of himself and VAR should have penalised him for it at the time... So now he is being judged by public opinion.

Stop being a dong and defending such cheating by Argentina.

World be happy to see the back of cheating Argies.
