VAR Decisions Under Fire in Argentina-Egypt Clash | MLS News

Argentina clawed back from a two-goal deficit in a heart-stopping World Cup thriller against Egypt, thanks to a controversial VAR decision that disallowed a late Egyptian goal. The Egyptian FA blasted the referee for bias and hinted at outside interference, even suggesting financial motives to keep Messi in the tournament. FIFA’s top referee, Pierluigi Collina, firmly defended the officials’ integrity, emphasizing their independence and commitment to honest, best-effort decisions. He explained how VAR reviewed the disallowed goal for fouls in the build-up and clarified that the final penalty appeal was waved off because the contact was deemed within normal play — not every touch is a foul.

The World Cup’s dust has settled, and it’s time to grade every player on their own merit—what they were expected to do, how much they played, and whether they delivered when it mattered most. Malik Tillman stunned with a creative, goal-scoring masterclass, even nailing free kicks like Pulisic. Folarin Balogun thrived despite a red card, netting three goals with poise. Alex Freeman dazzled defensively and scored, while Chris Richards battled through injury to anchor the backline.
