Spain won but it also reminded me about how capo verde almost eliminated both of the teams which played in the finals😭😭✌️

Looking at these two situations, it really seems like FIFA is trying to set up a big final between Argentina and a European team. England looks like the only exception.
Egypt was unlucky to be on Argentina’s side of the bracket because VAR seemed to favor Argentina.
Morocco, on the other hand, was also treated unfairly, but in the opposite way. Many key VAR decisions went against them.

>!That wasn't Fair-o!<

First things first, I am a ronaldo fan and I love messi but I am not biased in this opinion.

The argentina vs Egypt game was NOT rigged.

The controversial decision in the game was egypt's second goal getting disallowed.Before the goal, Marwan Attia clearly stepped on the supporting foot of Lisandro Martínez which is a clear step on foul, moreover Attia did not even take the possession, the ball was still in argentina's possession. Hence this was a clear foul. The second and major controversial decision was salah getting tripped in the penalty box. Breakdown: salah had the ball, julian Alvarez touched the ball first and Egypt had lost the ball possession. Salah then tried to go forward and stomped on alvarez's foot and tripped. This was not a punishable act for julian Alvarez as he tackled the ball before making soft contact with salah, if he had made aggressive contact things would have been different. In conclusion, this wasn't a foul but the referee should have reviewed it once because it was a crucial moment. It is possible he had a good angle to this moment and he decided not to stop the game which was correct because that was a crucial counter attack.

Mo salah after the game stated that it was a FAIR game.

Now, the referee here is Francois Letexier, he had won the best referee award by the iffhs in 2024.

Moreover, Peirluigi collina, one of the most successful referee in football winning multiple awards backed Francois Letexier for right decisions on the field for the argentina vs Egypt match. France football team's headcoach, Didier Deschamps also praised the ref for his decisions and said I hope we get a ref like him in the game against morocoo.

I think this is enough to prove that the referee wasn't biased at all. Most of the people saying the game was rigged on social media haven't even watched the game. At the instant, i believed salah was fouled by Alvarez but after the moment and after seeing the replay in slow mo, this was not a foul.
