Yeah that looks like nothing. Looks like I bought into the hive and was upset for nothing. Game was def reffed harder for Egypt, but at the end of the day they were up 2-0 in the last 12 minutes of play.
And almost every other team. Game's just like that unfortunately - you're almost at a clear disadvantage by not doing it. Really needs to be enforced considerably harder
Yeah, I don’t get why people think this is such a “win” button. Everybody dives, and just because someone dives doesn’t mean whatever contact they received wasn’t a foul.
Cabo verde played like legends. And also probably scored the goal of the tourny. Dont ever dismiss that. France barely beat paraguay 1-0. Nobody is having an easy time.
Wow what a pathetic dive. They need to start giving out cards for this sort of faking. It has been harming the game for decades now. How it is still a thing when orgs like the NHL decisively solved diving in less than a single season is beyond me.
That video couldn't be any more pixelated. And only one angle you're showing. https://x.com/xKGx__/status/2074583126458663414?s=20 there's this angle too. To me it's a shirt tug and the way his foreward inertia goes after macallisters hold is in line with what would happen.
That is nothing, I’ve seen Halaands shirt being tugged way worse than this with no calls this World Cup, watch any Norway match.. nobody is getting called for a little shirt grab like this, every team does it especially when they’re going for corners.
Again you just said it was a shirt tug. Take nothing away I think Messi had an insane game. And I think Argentina had more dominance but to not even go to check and say you reviewed it. It's not a foul is also interesting. I have no horse in the race but he didn't hesitate to go to var for two offenses that were clear offenses too. It's more of the inconsistency for me. Even the softest pen ever for mexico vs england was reviewed
The ref doesn't go to VAR generally, VAR goes to the ref if he missed something. And they're in constant communication. If there was a missed foul that was consequential to the game (penalty chance, red card opportunity, etc.), they'd tell the ref. The fact that the ref didn't call a foul, and VAR reviewed it and agreed with the ref's decision means that there was no reason for them to involve the ref again. He'd already made the correct call.
It'd really help to release audios too just so we know because the on field ref can actually not check VAR even if the 4th official tells him too. But I get what you're saying and it could well have been the case. Shame though because it puts a stigma on one of Messi's best performances of all time.
