Toni Kroos on the claims that Argentina robbed Egypt at the World Cup:
🗣️ "I don't understand why people always look for excuses after a result like this. Football is decided over 90 minutes, not by one moment. Egypt played an excellent first half, but after going 2–0 up they lost control of the game, and Argentina took advantage. That's what top teams do.
"People keep talking about the referee and VAR, but if you watch the match objectively, Argentina's comeback was built on their intensity, quality, and mentality. They believed until the final whistle, while Egypt couldn't maintain the same level they showed early on.
"You can't throw away a two-goal lead against one of the best teams in the world and then reduce everything to one decision. Football is much more complex than that.
"There will always be debates about refereeing, and that's normal. But saying the match was 'stolen' or that the tournament is being handed to Argentina is unfair to every player on the pitch. The players decide games with their performances, not conspiracy theories.
"The difficult thing after defeat is accepting that the opponent was better in the decisive moments. Argentina deserved credit for the way they responded under pressure, and Egypt should be proud of their performance while also learning from the mistakes that cost them. That's football."
@zaynchd@Tesla_Jr10@plasticolicious@FormuMix Argentina once suffered this same rule against. I don't remeber if it was on a Copa America or a qualifyng match. It was exactly like this. It's a well known rule.
@1FabianCastillo@elbotdefantino Que raro que no los distraiga el hecho de que los carteles narcotraficantes gobiernan a su país. Literal son un narcoestado ☠️
@ttermostero@yendoamenos Nos complico Australia y Arabia Saudita en 2022, el partido de Mexico lo abrio Messi. La semi vs Croacia nadie espero ese 3 a 0 tan facil. Hay que dejar de hinchar los huevos con el sobre analisis.
