For anyone furious about the GOALS, here is the actual rule breakdown: ⚽️ Egypt’s Disallowed Goal: Marwan Attia clearly stepped on the foot of Lisandro Martínez. Because a goal was scored right after, VAR is legally required to check the full buildup. A foul is a foul—the referee had to disallow it. 🚫 The Denied Penalty: Before Argentina's 3rd goal, the replay showed the Argentine defender cleanly touched and won the ball first before the collision. Under FIFA rules, winning the ball first makes the subsequent contact incidental, meaning it wasn't a penalty. When a goal is scored, VAR automatically checks the entire attacking phase of play for any infractions. However, the VAR officials in the booth reviewed the footage of the incident in Argentina's box and agreed with the referee's initial on-field judgment. Because they did not see a "clear and obvious error," they did not instruct the referee to go to the pitchside monitor. Consistent application of the rules, not bias! ⚖️ submitted by /u/Level_Flow8659 |
