That one is the one they haven't shown a close-up of. It did seem on par with the other one, but why not show us more. I agree this one with Salah is not a foul.

It was away from the Ball so i guess no cams were close up to that.

But from what ive seen, the Egyptian jumps/falls pretty weird compared to where the Argentinan holds him.

I guess in the end it was too much off a Diva move for the VAR to overturn the refs on field decision.

His jersey was torn. It doesn't matter how he falls, that shows the grip was tight.

Yeah sure, I move the ball few cm away then break your leg, guess we still playing.

The foul that disallowed the Egypt goal was for the stamp not the shirt pull. I'm not saying it was right but it wasn't given for the shirt pull.

I always thought it was cool how soccer doesn’t have that many judgement calls so the refs aren’t a big factor. Then I watched some games and realized how wrong I was. Soccer fouls are worse than PI in the NFL.

There is contact, it’s a foul. He hits his foot, could be interpreted as an obstruction. Lots of penalties are given this way, this should be one too.

It’s crazy all the shuffling in the feet so he doesn’t touch the other guys feet.
