so I don’t care for sports I did enjoy the Cabo verde game mostly because I thought the kid from their team was entertaining but only thing I think of as a driver for a beer distributor Quillmas beer is going to fly out for another week(it’s an Argentinian beer) better get my bonus this month and last month I’m waiting for it

Make up your own minds


Egypt vs Argentina, referee and FIFA

First image: a slight touch from the Egypt defender on Lisandro Martínez. That play led to the Africans’ goal.

VAR reviewed it and decided to rule it out for a foul.

Second image: a slight touch from Julián Álvarez on Salah. It was inside the box. VAR decided not to call it.

Same fouls, different standards.

Feel so bad for Egypt . The bias was so blatantly obvious.

Even to a casual observer such as myself, it's been very clear the officiating has been inconsistent.

once a cheat always a cheat

Argentina cheated

if foul can be back tracked by VAR against Egypt

then that foul against Muhammed Salah should also be called by VAR

Well, while I do agree VAR uses are not consistent and it probably hurt the game more than they help, that does not excuse the data that show Argentina perform better than Egypt today.

They should have a VAR system like in Basketball, you either have limited amount of challenge or have a set circumstance (for example mandatory VAR after a goal) instead of just go and have one willy-nilly and then the next one did nothing.

But that said, Argentina had more shot and more shot on goal, and also dominated procession. Egypt was on the backhand of this match, that's as far as I see, have nothing to do with VAR or anything.

It was surreal man. 90% Argentina support. We thought we had the game until the last part.

That's right. Currently 2330 in Pakistan.

If it weren't for the work in the morning, I would probably watch it, although between Switzerland and Colombia, I don't have a dog in this fight.

They want the big teams to advance, more money for the tournament. VAR will always favour certain teams. They ruin matches, apologise, and move on. Zero consequences on there end. And it’s Embarrassing. Id give you example, England was lucky forget what English fans boys say on here Ghana was denied a clear VAR penalty against England and English playerShould have been sent off. Anyways back to Argentina , Argentinians played like world champions in the last 20 mins ! No denying Brillant Messi absolutely showed why he is the greatest footballer.
