🚨🇦🇷🇪🇬 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.”

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
Lo de Argentina con la FIFA ya es inadmisible.
Fue una auténtica hazaña que Francia les arrebatara el Mundial de 2018 y que en 2022 estuviera a minutos de volver a hacerlo.
Lo de hoy contra Egipto es indignante. En el tercer gol de Argentina ni siquiera tuvieron la decencia de mostrar la repetición de la jugada completa, cuando todo apunta a que pudo existir una falta previa sobre Egipto.
En cambio, cuando Egipto anotó, revisaron la acción desde el origen de la jugada hasta encontrar cualquier detalle para invalidarla.
Así es imposible competir. Si el criterio cambia según quién ataque, ¿para qué lo intentan las demás selecciones?
🚨🗣 Egypt's Coach Hossam Hassan couldn't control himself after full-time:
"I will say what's on my mind regardless of the consequence, this was clearly a rigged match and the whole world saw it"
"And I want to say one more thing, if they want them [Argentina] to win so bad, why call everyone to come and participate?"
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.
Hay posibles penales a favor de Egipto antes del tercer gol de Argentina.
Ok… entiendo que el VAR los revisó y decidió que no eran penal.
Pero entonces, ¿por qué la FIFA nunca mostró las repeticiones? En el gol anulado a Egipto sí repitieron la jugada desde el inicio hasta encontrar una supuesta falta.
Por si no lo sabían, la señal oficial la controla la FIFA. Es ella quien decide qué repeticiones se muestran y cuáles no.
Si estaban tan seguros de que no había penal, ¿por qué ocultar esas imágenes? Quisieron evitar el bochorno y el escrutinio público.
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.

🚨 THEY CAN CONTROL THE BROADCAST, BUT THEY CAN'T DELETE THE FOOTAGE.
Look at this clear contact in super slow-mo. Egypt was completely robbed of a stone-wall penalty, and the French official didn't even bother to check the VAR monitor. Instead, he immediately pulled out cards to silence and intimidate the players for protesting.
Let’s be entirely honest: if this exact challenge happened in the other box, the referee would have rushed to the screen to check it twice from three different angles.
