VAR Decisions Under Fire in Argentina-Egypt Clash | MLS News
Description
Argentina clawed back from a two-goal deficit in a heart-stopping World Cup thriller against Egypt, thanks to a controversial VAR decision that disallowed a late Egyptian goal. The Egyptian FA blasted the referee for bias and hinted at outside interference, even suggesting financial motives to keep Messi in the tournament. FIFA’s top referee, Pierluigi Collina, firmly defended the officials’ integrity, emphasizing their independence and commitment to honest, best-effort decisions. He explained how VAR reviewed the disallowed goal for fouls in the build-up and clarified that the final penalty appeal was waved off because the contact was deemed within normal play — not every touch is a foul.
