Argentina's winning goal was immediately preceded by three Argentinian challenges in their own box, every one of which was worse than the soft foul for which Egypt's goal was disallowed.
Soccer or football whatever you call it … I’m good with it…
Too much cheating with all technology available..
I will stick with my rugby, @Springboks let’s go!!!!!!!
🚨🗣 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?"
🚨CONTROVERSIAL: VAR didn’t call this as a penalty OR a foul in the build up to Argentina’s 3rd goal…
…Egypt had an earlier goal ruled back for a foul in the build up
@Velile_Mnyandu Nyani Mfwethu, Salah was was fouled in the box before Argentina scored the winner. It was not checked, we so only one reply of it…. In fact it’s the same foul that was checked on Egypt disallowed goal.
Red cards are not overturned by political phone calls. They are overturned by rules, evidence and independent bodies. If a U.S. President intervenes with the FIFA President — and a player is suddenly cleared before a World Cup knockout match — the question is unavoidable: Quo vadis, FIFA?
Football must never become a playground for political power. #FIFA #WorldCup #GianniInfantino #DonaldTrump
BREAKING: President Trump reveals the details of his conversation with FIFA President Gianni Infantino over the controversial red card call on star American player Folarin Balogun.
"All I did was ask for a review because I didn't think it was a foul. And, you know, again, I'm good at this stuff. I didn't think it was a foul. I thought it was two great athletes that crashed into each other and got entangled."
"I think they made a really brilliant decision. I think the referee's call was horrible and nobody talks about that. They talk about the red card like it's fine, nobody talks the referee's decision to red card."
