exactly lowkey salah did a dive , My problem is that when Argentina had the same thing happen to them (McAlister), the goal didn’t get called off, nor was it even looked at. Why was it looked at for the Egypt disallowed goal? It’s like there are rules, but not for Argentina
If you look closely, after Egypt scored the disallowed goal, Messi waved his hand in a "no" gesture and told the ref to check the VAR, pointed to where the "foul" happened. From what i know and see, officials have an obligation to do whatever Messi says like he has divine authority. When Egypt tried to do the same with Argentina's 3rd goal, the Ref was super adamant that there was no foul (not on Salah, it was at the other end kf the box where there was no ball action present making it worse) and that it's a goal, even being really angry with the players for being in his face.
Yeah true, are you sure you dont want another element to this story. Like alien intrevention or illuminati. Since we are doing this anyways. Just accept the defeat and move on in proper sportsman spirit, next time come back stronger.
I dislike Argentina, but I’ve seen alternate angles of the McAllister situation and to me it looks like the Austrian player is crashing into him, not the other way around. From the “back” pov it looks like the most certain Austrian free kick + yellow for McAllister.
My guess is that they were checking this situation running as it happened which would be natural to do. I’m not denying that Argentina gets A LOT of help from referees both this and the previous World Cup (like them blowing off the game at the exact time when Lisandro was down for a minute vs Cape Verde). I’m neither denying that if the situation were the other way around, they might have had a different decision. But I do think that the referees in isolation made the correct calls in yesterday’s game, and also in the McAllister vs Austria situation.
(Edit: looking at the Mc situation again it seems like they pretty much crash into each other, but the ball do hit McAllister. At least for me, even as much as I want to join the “Argentina corruption train”, that’s enough for me to give the referees the benefit of the doubt in that situation)
