But wait first.. 2022 World Cup quarterfinals.. Argentina been dy lead Holland 2-0 and Dutch came back 2-2 but lost out during PK.. why didn’t anyone say it was rigged for Netherlands to qualify or that FIFA was against Argentina. Some football talk no dy make sense sef

“How Portugal robbed Croatia?”

You guys should really speak and hear how you sound.

They’re running about with Zico’s interview, meanwhile Luka Modric talked about being robbed, but nobody pushed it as an agenda.

[Patrick Williams @EFCxGoat]

Give me one reason why is Argentina vs Egypt with just 1 disallowed goal is being talked about much more than Portugal vs Croatia with 3 disallowed goals.

Unbelievable how brainwashed people are by Ronaldo’s PR.

[LIKE LORD… @ukporo1]

Argentina 🇦🇷 vs Paraguay 🇵🇾 qualifiers, a foul was committed on a Paraguay player.

Look at how long the ball was in play before the goal but VAR cancelled Lionel Messi goal because possession wasnt lost before the goal.

[Bisswass Culer @culerboii]

France have faced Senegal, Iraq, Norway B team, Sweden & Paraguay but it's Argentina who always gets easy teams. Sure.

[All About Argentina 🛎🇦🇷 @AlbicelesteTalk]

🚨 Didier Deschamps praises the performance of French referee Letexier [referee of the Argentina vs Egypt match] and hopes the Argentine referee will be at the same level tomorrow.

"I hope the referee will be as good as Mr. Letexier and his assistants like in the match of Argentina and Egypt. My opponent is Morocco, not the referee" @RMCsport

They weren't close to the ball. Ball was already cleared by the Argentine who battled with another Egyptian. Make we no dey add emotions to everything. Cos VAR check wasn't shown on ur screen doesn't mean it wasn't checked.. Chai

[Chuks @Ifeabunike]

The difference between this and the Argentina incident is that one was a penalty and the other was a foul by corner flag. Penalties are generally called back by VAR even when a goal was scored.

That said, why didnt VAR call back the pull by McAllister on Fathym

[Edmund 2.0💥 @EdmundOris]

Argentina play Switzerland next. FIFA president is from Switzerland. Watch how he rigs the game for Messi and Argentina against his own country 🤡 🤣🤣

[Ufuoma Egbamuno @Foskolo]

Chris, you're emotional now. And I can understand.

1. There was no penalty in the build up to the winner. We have all seen the replays. Except you dont want to admit reality.

2. The Egyptian goal was scored in the same play sequence after the foul. Before VAR, it would have stood. But there was a slight tug and a STAMP. That's a foul.

It's sad for Egypt but make we leave emotions abeg.

[Harry Symeou @HarrySymeou]

When I watch back the incident that ultimately led to Egypt’s goal being disallowed. I didn’t think there was enough in the ‘tackle’ at ground level but the shirt pull makes a material difference to the outcome in my view & so the goal has to be ruled out.

Egypt are clearly unhappy they didn’t get a similar decision when McAllister pulled back the Egyptian player prior to Argentina breaking away to score the winner.

There is a pull, I just don’t think it makes any difference to the outcome, for me, he’s not in possession, the ball still gets cleared and hence the unwillingness of the officials to pull it back.

Emotions are running high and it’s understandable Egypt feel hard done by but ultimately, I think we got the right outcome in both scenarios.

[J. 🇵🇸 @Messilizer0]

Crazy how Argentina are the only team expected lose all their games, losing their games means it’s fair and winning them means it’s rigged

[pamelasoz @pamelasoz]

@BrotherRasheed There’s been a lot of stepping on, pushing, holding shirts and other shenanigans and pathetic acting from the players in the World Cup. Sometimes there’s a penalty, sometimes not. It hasn’t seemed one-sided. Every team has gotten away with something.

[Greg Brady @gregbradyx]

It’s so weird that FIFA, by this idiot’s “marketing” theory, DID NOT want any of the host nations to make it past the Round of 16, & made certain Brazil & the Netherlands didn’t advance, either….so we could watch….Egypt. Everyone loses at things, but losers complain when they do.

[Zeal @Zeal_01]

FIFA planned it all.. They ensured Messi didn't go past the Egyptians all to find another way for Egypt to crumble..

[WhoScored @WhoScored]

Lionel Messi was dispossessed six times against Egypt, no player has been dispossessed more times in a single World Cup match at this tournament.

[Trent 🇦🇺 @Anghkooey_]

If it was genuinely an anti-racism gesture, why did his own twin brother (assistant manager) immediately force his hands down? On an issue this serious, you’d expect him to support the gesture not shut it down?

[Luis Mazariegos @luism8989]

Not joking but a lot of complaints about VAR seem to think unless the ref goes to the screen VAR wasn't used at all, when it's automatically used in every goal, penalty incident, and red card. Feels like VAR should give an "we checked it, all good" signal for TV watchers.

[Uzair 🇿🇲 @uzair208]

The problem with the World Cup is you find too many people who don’t watch football, who end up having stupid opinions

[Zeal @Zeal_01]

Lol.. What was he supposed to do? Interfere in the whole thing? Calm Hassan down? He did the best thing to avoid drama.. If na me, I go even celebrate again for him front..

[CentreGoals. @centregoals]

🚨🚨| Lionel Scaloni completely ignored the Egypt coach as he was shouting after the final whistle.

[Olawale Adigun @SportsAdigun]

Every one wants consistency in football officiating, but want the consistency that favours them. Francois Letexier should have given a yellow card to Zico after he took of his shirt and celebrated the goal that was later chalked off. But the pro-Egypt critics haven't seen that. Lol. We all know what we are doing. Underdogs have also benefitted from refereeing errors at this WC.
Sen against France
Paraguay didn't get a single yellow card against France
