๐ฆ๐ท๐ช๐ฌ Everyone wanted to scream that Argentina vs Egypt was rigged.
Then the replay made it annoying.
Egyptโs first controversy came when the refs missed a foul, Egypt went coast to coast, scored, and appeared to go up 2-0.
But VAR stepped in, reviewed the buildup, and ruled no goal.
As much as people wanted to lose their minds, the foul was there.
And under VAR, if an offense leads into the buildup of a goal, exactly what happened on that play, they can review it and take the goal away.
Then came the extra detail nobody wants to hear:
The Egyptian player also appeared to remove his shirt, which is supposed to be a yellow card.
Fast-forward to the 97th minute.
Salah goes down for Egypt, Argentina go coast to coast, score, and take the lead.
But when the play is slowed down, the defender touches the ball first.
It becomes a loose ball, then the player gets tripped up.
So yes, everyone wanted the โriggedโ version.
The problem is the refs may have actually gotten both calls right.
