Did Egypt get robbed?

[Prime2417]

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.

That disallowed goal was definitely harsh, I can see why Egypt fans are fuming. But yeah, that pen shout could've gone either way honestly.

[acer71jc]

ngl that disallowed goal seemed good, but the pen call was tricky, refs make tough calls bro ? ? ?

[cookcat]

could go either way bro

[vaelaltha]

Was that offside call tight or jsut wrong?

[Morthoslyn]

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.

[Irisssa]

That offside call was tighter than my local pub’s dart league ruling.

[Vynelvar]

I honestly just want to see the exact frame they used for the disallowed goal.

[StormKn1ght]

lol egypt got done dirty on that goal no cap, but the pen was never getting called in a game that big ?

[bulbyheta]

ngl egypt got kinda cooked on taht disallowed goal, pen was mad 50/50 tho so i get why ppl split on it ????

[brightXuser]

No tbh, they bottled it

[Yukini]

The disallowed goal stings but honestly that penalty shout was just two players coming together naturally.

[Steinra]

feels like a classic case of var having the rules right but the game still managing to leave everyone bitter, especially when the geometry of an offside line is millimeters thick.

[ryoixc5tu]

ez ngl the refs gotta make those tough calls but that disallowed goal looked solid to me ?

[kendallixvi]

my buddy is egyptian and he literally smashed his tv remote after that offside call, haven't seen him that mad since 2018.

[Olumiidee]

They did not get robbed 

[Vycaylyn]

I spilt my coffee everywhere when they ruled out that Egypt goal, the cafe went mental.

[thoxayzyl]

do you guys think the egyptian FA's complaint is more about the disallowed goal or the penalty not given? cause for me the offside looked painfully close and i kinda get why var let it stand.

[Youngsmith29]

Jot at all.

Mo body tells u to open goal post .
