When Argentina played Austria there was a foul in the build up Messi still got the goal and VAR did not rule it out.
But VAR rules the goal out for Egypt. This is corruption by FIFA.
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.
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.
In 2010: Messi didn’t win the Champions League or the World Cup, yet they changed the Ballon d’Or criteria to favor goals and gave it to him.
In 2011: Ronaldo had more goals than Messi, but they claimed trophies were what mattered, so Messi won it again.
In 2012: Ronaldo had more trophies, but they gave it to Messi because he scored 91 goals in a calendar year.
In 2019: Van Dijk won the Champions League and was named UEFA Best Player and EPL Player of the Year, but the criteria switched back to goals and Messi won the Ballon d’Or.
In 2021: Lewandowski scored more goals, had a historic individual season, and won The Best FIFA Men’s Player, but Messi was given the Ballon d’Or for winning the Copa América.
In 2023: Haaland won five trophies including the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup, Club World Cup, and UEFA Super Cup along with the UEFA Best Player, EPL Player of the Year, and the Golden Boot. Yet, the Ballon d’Or went to Messi for winning the 2022 World Cup, even though in 2010 they argued that the World Cup did not matter 😂.
Wait till you find out that year he still won the Balon D’or, lost 4-0 to Germany, Wesley Sneijder won a treble and finished joint top goal scorer in that same World Cup, and reached a final. 😂 then people act like it’s not obvious bias
What a buffoon. Could have simply apologized and assured to be more careful in future.
Instead gives a word to word translation and makes it hundred times worse. Deserves all the bashing he is going to get.
And yes, should still be fired @starspo
