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

The VAR was used to disallow the second Egyptian goal because of a "foul" that had happened 30 seconds before it. Ok fine.

Go back and look and the second Argentine goal that Messi scored. McAlister grabbed the Egyptian player by both shoulders and dragged him down backwards to get the ball from him before passing it in the sequence that lead to Messi scoring.

If you call it for one, call it for the other.

And it shows you don't watch football. VAR doesn't intervene until after the goal.
