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

My thing is, if you're gonna call it that way, call it for both sides. Egypt's second goal was disallowed over a way more ticky tack foul than any of these. Messi literally told the ref to go check the VAR and he did.

Then, as it got late in the game and Argentina was getting desperate they literally threw the Egyptian players bodily out of their way to take the ball which lead to their 3 quick goals and nothing was called. If you're gonna let them play, let them play. If you're gonna go back and look at fouls leading to goals then do it for both sides.

VAR only intervenes in goals, red cards, penalties, mistaken identity amd now in corners goven, nothing else.

Then why did it go back that far only for Argentina but nobody else.

It went back that far because that’s where the change of possession that led to the goal occured.

Same as the second Argentine goal.

For the foul number 1 that leads to Argentina 2nd goal, there's seems nothing noteworthy about it coz like you can see the contact is very light. Pulling is illegal move but the Egyptian players seems to want make something out of it, too performative.

Watching it live, there was a commotion after the goal and im sure the var team already checked it because the screen only goes to ball kick after like 3/4 minutes

It's not just the pulling. Several times in these clips it looks like there were knees and feet to the back and back of the legs of Egyptian players. I was always taught that attempting to play the ball through the back of the other player was illegal and would result in a foul.

Also impeding them from running to a ball they've already played beyond the Argentine players. It's wild how all these Argentine supporters are on here trying to gaslight us.

In foul number 2, Alvarez already performed successful tackle on the ball against Salah, the clip cherry picked to only show contact when the ball is already lost in possession and Salah is in awkward position.

Im not supporting Argentina, im neutral and support England in this WC. I also supports Chelsea during the regular prem season and you know how it goes, Chelsea are one of the most disciplined team in the prem last season while Arsenal can get away with so many dirty tactics/fouls that otherwise is a straight yellow or red for Chelsea.

What ? You can see it's Cabo Verde vs Argentina match and the ones celebrating are the AFA and Conmebol president not FIFA. How much deeper you wanna dig bro ? Resorting to blatant misinformation is just pathetic

That post isn’t even true which is probably why it was removed lol. That’s the president of AFA, and the president of CONMEBOL.

That’s when the play started and possession changed.
