Argentina are the only team out of all 48 participants not to have a single VAR intervention against them, despite committing the most fouls in the tournament. Do you even realize how insane that is?
🗣️ Javier Hernández:
“I have never seen a team get favored and protected like Argentina in a World Cup, ever in my lifetime.
I couldn’t believe my eyes watching that first half. I think it was Enzo Fernández who elbowed Elliott in the back of the head, and the referee stood there and did absolutely nothing—not even a yellow card.
They were playing dirty, committing foul after foul, yet no yellow cards were given. This makes Messi’s World Cup questionable because, if we’re being honest, Argentina has been getting protected since the group stage, and the same thing happened in the 2022 World Cup.
No one should be proud of winning a World Cup this way.”
🚨Thierry Henry on Argentina eliminating Egypt from the FIFA World Cup:
🗣️ “For me, this feels like football robbery in broad daylight.
I’m not taking anything away from Argentina’s quality because they have world-class players, but I don’t think they deserved to win this match. Egypt worked incredibly hard to build a two-goal lead. They defended with courage, attacked with confidence and earned every bit of that advantage.
The turning point, in my opinion, was the refereeing. I didn’t agree with the penalty that was awarded to Argentina earlier in the game, and after that it felt as though every important decision was going against Egypt. Whether people agree or disagree, those moments changed the rhythm of the match and gave Argentina the momentum they desperately needed.
Egypt will leave this tournament feeling heartbroken because they were so close to one of the greatest victories in their history. Sometimes football is decided by brilliant moments, and sometimes it’s decided by controversial decisions. Tonight, I believe the officiating will be discussed just as much as the football itself.”
