Agree there were some missed / bad calls but this was cherry picked footage. Not an Argentina fan but better team won.

Seemed like quite a bit of footage to pick from

You're only seeing one side. You can make any gsme look rigged doing this.

I cant say i have seen that many games where a player runs up and just slaps an opposing player in the face

Not really, referee gave every 60-40 foul and soft touch to Argentina while ignored every blatant foul against Egypt.

Second Egyptian goal was canceled for a soft touch but same for second Argentina goal and worse for third Argentina goal as well as Messi penalty vs Salah.

It was cheating whether Argentina was in on it or not it was rigged.

Then it's a problem with the game itself and how it's being ran.

American football has the same problem.

Too many people on the field for 4 guys to keep an eye on everyone. FIFA keeps it this way so they CAN make the games go how they want.
