The corruption is obvious and blatant. You think they care? Laughable.

We are all watching a rigged sporting event and trying to pretend otherwise.

I know you know. Doesn’t make it right. It’s corrupt and that’s just the way it is with FIFA.

Cry? About the obvious BS to get Messi to another final. Come on.

I only saw the last fifteen minutes. I saw one bad foul call in Argentina’s favor. Was there more going on?

Based on how the Europeans have acted over the past 48hrs... claiming the US "destroyed the integrity of their game"... I hope Argentina blows them all out of the water.

The refs for Argentina today were from France. Does the corruption only flow one way

This stuff doesn't help...


quote:

: The referee did not hand out a single card until Enzo Fernández scored Argentina's 92nd-minute winner. In the chaotic aftermath and stoppage time, Letexier issued five yellow cards strictly to Egyptian players, including Mostafa Shobeir and Hamdy Fathy.

Well they completely wiped out an Egypt goal with a VAR review of a “foul” that happened 100 yards from where the goal was scored

He stomped on the foot and pulled the shirt to get the ball for the counter. Die on that hill if you want

Yeah, it was a clear foul. Should we also not call back clear offsides if they make a few passes after the initial offsides pass? Of course not. Sure it looks bad, but the alternative is letting an undeserved goal count.

I didn't have a problem with the decision. But I'm pretty sure the same thing happened to pulisic on Belgium's second goal.

And yet Argentina's goal was allowed to stand when MacAllister clearly had a foul in the build up, where only 2 passes happened after. Not 100 yards and 10 passes.

Make it make sense

I believe he's talking about the Austria game and he's correct, same situation, no call.

I don't really get the whinging about Messi getting calls, from the same people who watch the NFL and NBA where the calls are even more egregiously biased for their stars. Patrick Mahomes for example.

No matter the sport, this site is infested with pussies constantly crying about muh refs. It's pathetic

Do you people not know how to cope when things don't go your way?
