Nuevo video de un aficionado muestra claramente el contacto de Messi con el pie de Spence 5 segundos antes del 2ndo gol.
Argentina robando como siempre y FIFA y el VAR sin aparecer.
Recordemos que con Egipto el VAR se regresó 2 minutos a ver una jugada a 80 metros.
Asqueroso
👀🇦🇷 Después de decir que esta vez el arbitraje no influyó, me pidieron revisar el partido con detalle y encontré esto.
Enzo Fernández, autor del gol del empate de Argentina, no debió terminar el encuentro.
Al minuto 3 lanzó un codazo en la nuca a un jugador inglés, sin ninguna posibilidad de disputar el balón. Si se hubiera aplicado el mismo rigor arbitral que vimos contra Suiza y Egipto, esa acción perfectamente pudo terminar en expulsión. Pero no solo no fue roja… ni siquiera fue amarilla.
Minutos después, el mismo Enzo cortó un contragolpe de Inglaterra con una zancadilla al borde del área. ¿La sanción? Tampoco hubo amarilla.
Desde el primer tiempo, Enzo debió estar expulsado. Si una acción así hubiera sido contra Messi, difícilmente el infractor se salvaría.
Por cierto, guarden el video porque la FIFA los anda borrando.

I watched the second goal that Argentina scored. Why is the replay not showing the incident between Spence and Messi?
Did Messi step on Spence?
Why didn't VAR check that?
Somebody said Mourinho used defence to win, and it worked. Let me explain why that is different.
Mourinho SIGNED his defenders.
After losing to Man U in the Round of 16 in 2009, Mourinho told Inter's then owner, Moratti, at the end of the season that he needed funds to compete in Europe, that the current team couldn't do that. He was given funds and he signed the players he needed amd won the UCL in 2010. Mourinho played according to his strength. In Madrid, he was playing counter all through because he had the squad to beat anybody.
You cannot be using stones, Guehi, Spence, Burn, Konsa, O'reily to be playing defence against Messi, Enzo, Martinez, Alvarez, Mac Allister, Simeone. You have Saka, Eze, Mainoo, Rashford on bench.
It's insane!
This is what actually vexes me. We’ve watched these two go head-to-head for almost 15 years. If you couldn’t decide who your GOAT was throughout their primes, why are you suddenly using what they’re winning at the very end of their careers to settle the debate?
Did anyone say the debate was over when Ronaldo won his second international trophy? Did everyone suddenly crown him the undisputed GOAT? No. So why should the opposite happen now?
If you think Messi is the greatest, that’s your opinion and that’s fine. But changing your mind solely because of trophies won in the final chapter of their careers makes no sense. Judge their entire body of work, not just how the story ends.
Ronaldo is the Goat, Messi should win 3 World Cup, Ronaldo remains the GOAT.
All of a sudden, everyone has gone silent about the 42 schoolchildren abducted in Askira Uba, Borno State.
They have no voice.
Their voices have been forgotten.
Does anyone else remember Argentina vs Nigeria at the 2018 World Cup?
Because I still haven't forgotten what happened that night.
Messi gave Argentina the lead early, Victor Moses equalised from the penalty spot, and Nigeria were on the verge of reaching the knockout stage.
Then came the moment that still leaves a bitter taste...
Marcos Rojo clearly handled the ball inside the box.
The referee, Cüneyt Çakır, went to VAR, reviewed the incident... and somehow decided it wasn't a penalty.
Even John Obi Mikel confronted him afterwards, and, according to Mikel, the referee admitted the ball had hit Rojo's hand but simply said he didn't know why VAR told him not to award the penalty.
Minutes later...
Rojo scored the winner that sent Argentina through and knocked Nigeria out.
One of the most controversial World Cup refereeing decisions involving Nigeria...
Yet somehow, we hardly ever talk about it.
Does anyone else still remember that robbery? 🇳🇬💔
