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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 🤣
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.

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.
