Genuinely one of the most bizarre games I've ever seen. Took the lead and then decided to let the greatest playmaker football has ever seen have the ball for 35 minutes.
The craziest thing about learning to drive is realising that complete strangers will get so fucking angry at you for *daring* to obey the speed limit. Like, I'm sorry that I don't want to kill anyone with my metal death machine.
@guroxangel The answer is they may cause localised burns if the current passes through them, but the general idea is that defibbing someone out of a fatal heart rhythm ASAP is more important than trying to remove them.
@neutralmold I feel for you guys honestly. At least there was the pre 08 feeling of hope, a fascinating and totally wild pre-ai/enshittified internet and a genuine (if not mistaken) belief that with hard work comes a good life. Now it's just doom all the way down, completely hopeless.
Either the rule is mild contact is to be expected and so Egypt’s goal is valid and this is not a penalty OR all contact leads to a foul, in which case this is a penalty and Egypt’s goal was invalid.
The rule can’t be “a foul is whatever fills Gianni Infantino’s pockets more”
If VAR had gone any further back in that Egyptian move Tutankhamun would be involved. How far do you go back? Probably right decision but what a pity, what a goal that would have been. 80 yards, majestic move, precise passing, would have been one of the goals of the tournament,
I’m basically a neutral here but I’d actually walk off the pitch if I was an Egyptian lol one of the great World Cup moments ever robbed off a 50/50 ground duel and incidental contact
I genuinely don't understand it. If a goal is ruled out because of an accidental standing on a player's foot, how is Salah not given a penalty? You can't have it both ways. Either both are fouls, or neither are. That's all fans ask for consistency.
Argentina "enjoying some fortune with decisions".
Translation "as an establishment sports journalist I cannot call out the blatant corruption, but I can't pretend I didn't see anything."
Incredible Egyptian goal is disallowed because of a foul far away, then same situation a few minutes later and goal for Argentina not disallowed! No VAR, nothing? FIFA again looks like a corrupt joke, playing favorites for stars.
