🚨 Gonzalo Montiel on assisting Messi’s equaliser:
“When I got the ball, I knew someone was free. I couldn’t see who. I just remember thinking, ‘Please let that be Leo.’ So I played the pass…then looked up. It was Leo.
The funny thing is, I never looked back at the goal. I just joined the celebration. To be honest, every one of us wants to assist him. I was just happy it was my turn.”
@sankalpsrv@OlmosHoe he continued the play that doesn't mean "no" decision
He literally meant there was no foul. Have you watched other matches in this FIFA WC?I remember 2 instances where a penalty was awarded the same way argentina got a freekick during the 2nd goal
@sankalpsrv@OlmosHoe you yourself imagine a play getting stopped by referee as a foul(with the milliseconds he gets) then var rules it as no it wasn't a foul how foolish would that be - why do you want to make the game more inaccurate and ambiguous.
@sankalpsrv@OlmosHoe the broadcasters didn't let us the referee clearly during the play but VAR has multiple camera angles we don't have to worry on that
The racist, dehumanising remarks against @KMbappe by Paraguayan Sen. Celeste Amarilla are despicable, regrettably not isolated.
States & sports organisations must prevent acts of racism & discrimination, and ensure independent and effective accountability. Social media must also prevent and address racial discrimination on their platforms.

@sankalpsrv he didn't give a "no" decision, he continued the play because he didn't see the foul. If you have watched football in recent years the goals are ruled due to prior challenges, one i remember non fifa one being in el classico
⚠️The Egyptian Relief Committee in Gaza had been organizing public screenings of World Cup matches for displaced families across the Strip. About an hour before today’s Egypt-Argentina match, Israel killed the committee’s public relations director in a strike on his vehicle. Two others, including a child, were also killed.
