2022 World Cup Discussion

[BlueHammer85]

Anyone think this World Cup has been rigged for a Messi & Mbappe final with the PSG owner Nasser Al-Khelaïfi? (Who somehow is on the Fifa the committee board) The decisions in the Argentina game against Holland & our game against France do make me feel twice. Messi on a yellow card & makes deliberate hand ball not sent off & many other controversial decisions. We all know how shit the ref was against France

Except VAR is bought in to rig games so why would they give us that penalty

I’d imagine it would be the first time a rigged game involved giving the designated losers two penalties.

Also Messi wasn’t on a yellow card when the hand ball incident occurred. The yellow card came later.

And you only get yellow for deliberate handball that stops a promising attack, no?

No just bad refs in both those games

He nearly didn’t give it, what about Saka’s lead up to Frances first goal. I’ll pass more judgement. after what happens to tonight

I've seen it mentioned a few times how shit the ref was for our game.
I don't know if my memory is playing tricks on me but I can only remember the foul not given on Saka as being a bad call.
Not saying he wasn't shit but I don't remember any other stand out moments.

Messi not getting a second yellow card in the Argentina game was beyond bad refereeing

Lots of fouls on the edge of area not given especially with Griezmann took a while for him to even be booked. Harry Kane not given a blatant penalty as well before we got the first pen

I thought they showed it was out of the area ?

Think officials have been told to not red card players this tournament, they've let so many fouls which should be a yellow off the hook - I can understand why, sending players off can spoil the game and matches have been more free flowing but still prefer Refs to book by letter of the law

I actually missed the incident, even though I watched the game and haven’t seen a replay. But I’m happy to accept it probably should have been a yellow, as I’ve not heard anybody dispute it.
