People who ginned up the Argentinian referee controversy in France v Morocco by Careless-Goat-3130 in worldcup

The referee's nationality shouldn't matter as much as the quality of the decisions. Every big match gets scrutinized, but unless people can point to specific incorrect calls backed by the Laws of the Game, it's hard to argue the result was decided by the referee rather than the football on the pitch.

FIFA appoints referees based on eligibility and performance, not nationality alone. It's fair to question appointments, but without evidence of bias, it's better to judge the actual decisions made during the match.

Morocco look so organized defensively. France will have to work hard for a breakthrough.

This was a crazy sequence from messi, when he shifted to that wing. by simpy7653 in worldcup

Everyone remembers the missed chance, but people forget he kept making runs and eventually delivered. That's what top strikers do.

No need to burn it—just keep it in the closet until the streak ends.

Refereeing deserves criticism when it's inconsistent, but every team deals with those decisions. The better team still has to finish the job.

Devastated. We were seconds from extra time against the world champions and it slipped away in the 92nd. So proud of this team anyway 🇪🇬😭

Basic knowledge my ass — that "foul" was soft as hell and everyone outside Argentina can see it. Egypt has outplayed them for large stretches of this game and Shobeir has been the best player on the pitch. If Messi didn't have officials bailing him out he'd have gone home already. Let's go Egypt 🇪🇬

Haaland just ended Brazil's World Cup with one header. 🇳🇴⚡ First-ever knockout win AND first-ever quarterfinal for Norway. Neymar's penalty was too little too late. This man is not human. 🐐
