“Aura is a person who gives off, something like when they arrive, it's like… WOW. For example, Brad Pitt or like that”.
“In football, Cristiano would be a good example of aura”.

Whether people agree or not, the perception that Argentina have been favored is no longer coming from just one fanbase—it's now part of a much wider debate.
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.

Nueva forma de robar en el fútbol. A Egipto le cobran falta previa y le anulan el gol, pero a Argentina no le cobran la falta previa y validan el gol. Decir Mafia es poco. El fútbol está contaminado y dañado.
VAR cancels an Egypt goal for a foul at the start of a build up. Cool.
But doesn't when Argentina scored after a foul on an Egyptian.
Absolute rubbish @FIFAcom
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.
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME THEY USED VAR TO TAKE AWAY THE GOAL AFTER EGYPT TOOK THE BALL THE FULL LENGTH OF THE FIELD AND SCORED?!?!?
There's no way that makes any sense..
It was a game ridden with unfair decisions to ensure Egypt was eliminated just as VAR was used to eliminate Iran. Messi may be the GOAT but in this game it was obvious how he was favoured in all decisions esp free kicks and penalties!
One thing Cristiano Ronaldo's legacy has taught me is that it's better to lose with honor than to win by deceit. Ronaldo was never handed a World Cup the way Messi was. No matter where life takes me, Cristiano Ronaldo will always be my GOAT. 🐐
Respect to Cristiano Ronaldo. He won and he lost, but he never robbed. I don’t know how to describe how proud I feel, and I’ll always be grateful to have been on the right side of history.
