Croatia robbed, now Egypt. But you cannot shame the shameless.

[Bill Barnwell @billbarnwell]

Second Egypt goal being waived off was the worst example of replay being used to solve a problem that doesn't exist.

[Mod @CFCMods]

In what world is this not a foul?

Why do people suddenly become room temperature IQ individuals when it comes to Messi and Argentina

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

It was a foul, but for better or worse it was reviewed and called and the goal disallowed. Meanwhile, almost identical circumstance with teams reversed, and there was no foul or review. Love or hate VAR, but applying it consistently isn’t too much to ask.

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

I just submitted an op-ed on this to Washington Post, discussing how technology cannot substitute human accountability. We must have transparency, or all the new rules and reviews create more opportunities for interference. With all due respect to one of the best referees in history I have to confront this assessment. It was technically BEFORE the goal in absolute time but not IMMEDIATELY before. It's quite a stretch of the normal logic to directly connect an accident near the goal area of one team to the action on the opposite side of the field. And since there was no arbiter's whistle to stop the game (wrong decision, agreed!), this violation cannot justify the decision to disallow the goal. And regarding the second incident in question, you are again correct stating that there was no violation of the rules against Salah, but this conclusion is reached after careful examination of the video footage from various angles. The referee during the game could not instantly verify it and considering the similarities of these two cases HAD to go to the monitor to confirm the assessment. By not doing so he simply reiterated our understanding that the game is being run by anonymous partisans behind the screens.

🚨🇦🇷🇪🇬PATRICE EVRA: “EGYPT HAVE BEEN ROBBED!”

🗣️ Patrice Evra on Egypt’s disallowed goal:

“I don’t care what people say, for me Egypt have been robbed. Football is becoming too sterile.”

“The Egyptian player wins the ball, they break forward, they score a brilliant goal, and then somebody spends two minutes looking for a tiny reason to cancel it.”

“VAR was introduced to correct clear mistakes, not to erase great football moments. Today it feels like they searched for a reason to save Argentina.”

“If that goal is allowed for Argentina, nobody is talking about a foul. That’s the reality.”

“Egypt should be 2-0 up. They have outworked Argentina, out-fought Argentina, and now they have to fight against disappointment as well.”

“When a smaller nation finally hurts a giant and the goal is taken away like that, people will always ask questions. For me, Egypt can feel very unlucky today.”

🚨Roy Keane Slams FIFA After Explosive Argentina vs Egypt Drama:

🗣️ "Enough is enough. Egypt have every right to feel like they were robbed.

I'm tired of watching VAR become selective. One incident gets dissected for minutes, another is waved away without the same scrutiny. That's not consistency; it's incompetence, and it destroys trust in the game.

This is the second straight match where Argentina have ended up at the centre of major refereeing controversy. Against Cape Verde there were already serious questions. Now it's Egypt. At some point, people are going to stop calling it "just football" and start asking why the same standard doesn't seem to apply every time.

Then the Egypt bench demands answers and gets red cards. So instead of explaining the decisions, the officials silence the protests. That's embarrassing.

The biggest winners tonight weren't Argentina;they were the officials, because they've made themselves the story. That's unacceptable at a World Cup.

Football doesn't need protection for big teams. It needs consistency and officials willing to apply the same standard to everyone. Tonight, Egypt will feel they were denied that, and that's why this match will be remembered for controversy before it is remembered for football..."

[MatchReport @MatchReportH]

🚨🇦🇷🇪🇬 Rio Ferdinand: “Football Needs Fairness, Not Different Rules For Different Teams”

🗣️ “I’ve sat here and watched football for many years, both as a player and as a pundit, and what frustrates supporters the most is inconsistency.

When Argentina go down under a challenge, the whistle seems to come immediately. The officials are quick to spot the foul, quick to stop play and quick to protect them. But when Egypt are on the receiving end of similar incidents, suddenly the game is allowed to continue and everyone is told to move on.

That’s the issue people have tonight. Not the result itself, but the lack of consistency in the decision-making.

Then you look at the build-up to Enzo Fernández’s winning goal. Egypt were screaming for a foul, their players were surrounding the referee, and millions watching expected VAR to at least take a proper look at it. Instead, it felt like everyone in the VAR room had gone to sleep.

What exactly is VAR there for if not to review the biggest moments in the biggest matches?

If that incident happened against Argentina at the other end of the pitch, do you honestly believe it wouldn’t have been checked? I find that very difficult to believe. We’ve seen much softer incidents reviewed throughout this tournament.

That’s where the frustration comes from. Fans just want the same standard applied to every team.

And let’s talk about the disciplinary side of the game. Argentina seem to get away with an awful lot. There are challenges that would normally bring yellow cards, yet the referee appears reluctant to reach for his pocket. It’s almost as if officials are afraid of making decisions that might upset Argentina.

When you look at some of Argentina’s matches in this tournament, there have been several moments where opponents felt hard done by. One incident can be debated, two incidents can be debated, but eventually people start noticing a pattern.

Football cannot afford that perception. The integrity of the game depends on supporters believing that every nation is treated equally.

Whether you’re Argentina, Egypt, Brazil, France or anyone else, the laws of the game should not change depending on the badge on your shirt.

The officials tonight had a responsibility to be fair, balanced and brave. Instead, they have left millions of people questioning why some decisions are given so easily for one side while similar incidents involving the other side are ignored.

Football deserves better than that. The players deserve better than that. And the fans certainly deserve better than that.”

🚨 José Mourinho on Argentina vs. Egypt:

“This is daylight robbery. It’s a shame what football is becoming. How do you let the play continue, allow the goal to be scored, and only then decide to go back and cancel it? If there was a foul, stop the game immediately. Don’t wait until after the goal.

Then I ask another question—why wasn’t Argentina’s first goal reviewed with the same attention when it looked very close to offside? Why was every incident involving Argentina checked, while Egypt didn’t seem to get the same treatment?

VAR is supposed to bring fairness, not confusion. Today, it looked like every important decision went in Argentina’s favour. Football deserves better.”

[Nuel @LfcNuel]

🚨🗣️ José Mourinho on the refereeing in Argentina's 3-2 victory over Egypt:

"When you play against this Argentina team, being 2-0 up is never enough, because you are not just trying to beat eleven men on the pitch. You are trying to beat the whistle. You are trying to beat the VAR room. You are trying to beat the entire script of the tournament.

Salah was through on goal and the referee blows his whistle for a foul against Egypt for Paredes failing to get the ball. Cristian Romero almost snaps Mohamed Salah’s leg in half, and the referee suddenly goes blind. No card. Egypt scores a beautiful goal, and VAR rewinds the game back to the Stone Age just to find a reason to cancel it. And then, in the 93rd minute, they foul Salah in the box, a clear penalty that would win Egypt the game and they let play continue so Enzo can go down the other end and score the winner. It is not football anymore. It is a movie, and the ending has already been decided before the players even walk out of the tunnel."

[SethOfficial @UTD_Seth001]

🚨Thierry Henry on Argentina eliminating Egypt from the FIFA World Cup:

🗣️ “For me, this feels like football robbery in broad daylight.

I’m not taking anything away from Argentina’s quality because they have world-class players, but I don’t think they deserved to win this match. Egypt worked incredibly hard to build a two-goal lead. They defended with courage, attacked with confidence and earned every bit of that advantage.

The turning point, in my opinion, was the refereeing. I didn’t agree with the penalty that was awarded to Argentina earlier in the game, and after that it felt as though every important decision was going against Egypt. Whether people agree or disagree, those moments changed the rhythm of the match and gave Argentina the momentum they desperately needed.

Egypt will leave this tournament feeling heartbroken because they were so close to one of the greatest victories in their history. Sometimes football is decided by brilliant moments, and sometimes it’s decided by controversial decisions. Tonight, I believe the officiating will be discussed just as much as the football itself.”

[Nuel @LfcNuel]

Mind you Salah was fouled in the build up to Argentina third goal and Egypt was supposed to be given a penalty instead.
VAR checked it and still went ahead to give the goal.
This is the worst World Cup ever. https://t.co/i9mSPe8aJP

[Dale Johnson @DaleJohnsonBBC]

There is a slight step on the foot too, but so many of these have been allowed to go by referees.

[Dale Johnson @DaleJohnsonBBC]

Egypt's disallowed goal was completely against how this tournament has been refereed.

You can't have a light touch where you don't give fouls for minimal contact and then rule out a goal through VAR for a very minimal hold of the shirt.
