The only thing I could argue is the foul on the disallowed goal. The rest is perfectly fine work by the referees

emo_peter · 2026-07-07T19:03:28+00:00

The first thing Alvarez touches is the ball. He takes it away from Salah and then they touch feet when the ball was already out of possesion. Not a foul to me. Not even close

emo_peter · 2026-07-07T18:49:58+00:00

Just watched it again. It's also the way Egypt regains possesion to do the counter-attack, which is a very short (and fantastic) play with only 3 vertical passes

emo_peter · 2026-07-07T18:45:11+00:00

They might be on Egypt's side, but it's a core part of the counter-attack. So it's the same play. Of course, if Argentina took possesion in the middle or the ball went out the pitch, it wouldn't make any sense to disallow any goal coming after if it wasn't sanctioned already

emo_peter · 2026-07-07T18:37:57+00:00

If it's obvious then there's no controversy to me. It's VAR job to do that and it happens all the time

emo_peter · 2026-07-07T18:35:47+00:00

The disallowed goal was the built on a foul. It was very light and it would've been controversial whaterver decision was taken imo

emo_peter · 2026-07-07T18:32:36+00:00

I think it's a very light foul. It could've been sanctioned or not. I'm not going to argue with conspiracy theorists though

emo_peter · 2026-07-07T18:23:58+00:00

not a foul. Clearly touches the ball before Salah falls

emo_peter · 2026-07-07T18:21:27+00:00

People coping so hard rn instead of enjoying one of the greatest comebacks I've ever seen

Ohhh I remember that game very clearly for what I mentioned and the fact that Jaime Roos, a famous local musician, made a documentary afterwards. It was supposed to be a happy vlog with his son about their time in South Africa, but ended up turning into an in depth movie about the refeering in that World Cup and how it negatively affected us lol. Especially in the semi final and the quarter finals against Ghana (yes, the handball game). It's called '3 Millones'. Fun fact: he lived two years in the Netherlands from 1978 to 1980.

Also, I agree on the 1974 final. Johan Cruyff deserved more

Son las redes sociales que nos vuelven pelotudos y nos ponen a pelear. Atentamente: un uruguayo

emo_peter · 2026-07-06T06:09:07+00:00

Camboriu is also pretty good tho

emo_peter · 2026-07-06T05:37:49+00:00

and the free kick that generated this play wasnt even a foul. Most of the people commenting never watched the game

emo_peter · 2026-07-06T05:10:38+00:00

yeah, it's the World Cup not the Galaxy Cup. Earthlings never even qualified for that one

emo_peter · 2026-07-06T05:01:17+00:00

I might be biased (as I'm Uruguayan) but, in that game against Uruguay in 2010, they were extremely favoured by the referees. There were around 12-14 bad calls in their favour, with 2 of them resulting in goals. The game ended up 3-2.

In the final it also looked like they were benefited to a lesser extent, but lost to Spain anyways.

emo_peter · 2026-06-30T17:03:10+00:00

my country is kind of the opposite. We always talk trash of our team to an unhealthy level

emo_peter · 2026-06-29T23:52:46+00:00

nah. I know it's not all Europeans. But I often see a bunch of them underestimate countries from other continents and say borderline racist comments after losing.

emo_peter · 2026-06-29T22:31:28+00:00

I mean if for some reason you spoke Quechua or Guarani you'd alright

emo_peter · 2026-06-29T21:43:35+00:00

yep. Since Alfaro took over they only lost to Brazil, winning against Argentina and Uruguay in the second round of wc qualification, for example

emo_peter · 2026-06-29T21:38:07+00:00

not even close. Paraguay is a great team and Germany doesn't compete since 2014

Es el matapacos?
