One of the most popular football discussions right now is Egyptian supporters contend that the outcome against Argentina was altered by two significant rulings a goal that was disallowed and an unsuccessful penalty appeal. Others think the rules were correctly implemented by the referee and VAR. FIFA has defended the officials, while the Egyptian Football Association has publicly denounced the officiating.

where Egypt robbed?

tbh that disallowed goal looked clean to me, but the pen shout was 50/50 at best. FIFA always backs their refs though so not surprised there.

Defending the refs is standard practice from FIFA, itd be more of a headline if they actually admitted fault. The disallowed goal was questionable but people always forget games hinge on dozens of smaller moments, not just one call.

every controversial call looks like robbery when you're the one on the losing side. the var probably checked it to death and still got it wrong but thats just modern football i guess

I reffed a youth tourney once where we had a simmilar offside call like that and the replay was so grainy you legit couldnt tell if the attackers shoulder was ahead of the ball but we still had to rule it out based on the flag. honestly not surprised FIFA backed them, its safer to defend a shaky call than open the floodgates to every match being contsted after the fact.

The whole thing is blurry beccause nobody ever sees the VAR calibration process for offside lines. If they would just release the synchronized frame they used for that first goal people could judge it directly instead of arguing about the outcome.
