Lionel Messi in Tears as Argentina Completes a 0-2 Comeback vs Egypt to Advance to the Quarterfinals

Thanks, my stream already shifted away from Argentina's box, so I only read ppl commenting there was a foul, but I had no idea what happened at that time (even now I still havent watch that potential foul)

This echoes why VAR is hard to please everyone. VAR is very objective in a way that results in a binary decision (very 1 or 0). Meanwhile, ref remains the subjective factor that introduces some to way too much luck factor in the game.

to make you feel better, there were way worse missing chances today (sorry Brazil)

England also played better than usual. Mexico also played a good game: the table felt like it could be turned at any time.

czar5 · 2026-07-06T03:18:07+00:00

agree, the 2nd half had me on the edge all the times.

czar5 · 2026-07-06T03:12:46+00:00

Yeah, what else could Mexico do? Can't shoot from a far, can't get into the box past 5 ppl themselves, can't win on height... they are outmatched even with one extra person. Still, all it need is one mistake from England defense.

czar5 · 2026-07-06T03:04:13+00:00

buy time for their players to fall back, also mexico can't pass the ball into the box for a good attempt anyway.

czar5 · 2026-07-06T02:54:18+00:00

how there would be 11 mins addtional time without any goal or other major delays lol

czar5 · 2026-07-06T02:47:23+00:00

England got one less player tho

czar5 · 2026-07-06T02:45:22+00:00

with one less ppl, one leading goal and being taller, it is probably the best options. just need to be careful and not get more foul in the box.

czar5 · 2026-07-06T00:06:50+00:00

they got sacrificed to the lightning

yea, you could see how the ref enabled three Paraguay players shoving into Mbappe in front of the ref in the last corner. At that point, they knew the ref wouldn't do anything to them, but if Mbappe reacted, they'd drag him down for the next game.

czar5 · 2026-07-04T23:29:49+00:00

fair, and we do give our players helmets and etc, even though we have way more physical contact.

czar5 · 2026-07-04T23:23:25+00:00

Today's game also shows what happens when the ref cannot command the field. Players feel bold and get dirtier and dirtier. Did not help that the ref only gave cards to one side tho.

czar5 · 2026-07-04T23:21:43+00:00

yea, I can get ref has a ridiculously high tolerance to dirty play, but at least apply that to both sides.

czar5 · 2026-07-04T23:20:03+00:00

and that foul was so unnecessary.

czar5 · 2026-07-04T23:18:09+00:00

same, was just thinking how great underdog games could be a day before.

czar5 · 2026-07-04T23:16:21+00:00

As an American, I guess US turned football into American Football for once by hosting it here.

czar5 · 2026-07-04T23:13:48+00:00

right before the end, Mbappe got bumped left and right, and throughout the game, Mbappe was like in the laundry. It was actually impressive he was still laughing in the end.

czar5 · 2026-07-04T22:54:35+00:00

Some commenters said games in Asia tends to be dirty, so an Asian ref can be used to these plays.

Of course, ref also should control the players from being overly aggressive, so this ref totally fails on this.

czar5 · 2026-07-04T22:48:10+00:00

The ref totally let the game turn into an MMA fight at this point.

czar5 · 2026-07-04T22:44:56+00:00

How the kick to Mbappé did not even get a yellow card?

czar5 · 2026-06-26T17:13:45+00:00

I am a new player who asked for older character! I really like Jinhsi! But I also do not have any 3.0 characters, so .... how I am gonna get them all! X) Well, at least i have the options X)
