🚨 Every major refereeing controversy that has gone Argentina’s way at the 2026 World Cup… and somehow it looks even worse than Qatar.
🇩🇿 Algeria: Messi caught Aïssa Mandi with his studs. No card. No VAR review.
🇦🇹 Austria: Mac Allister appeared to foul Schlager before Messi’s goal. Austria protested, but VAR allowed the goal.
🇨🇻 Cape Verde: Tagliafico’s challenge in the build-up to Argentina’s second wasn’t reviewed despite appeals.
🇪🇬 Egypt: A brilliant Egyptian goal was ruled out for an alleged foul at the very start of the move, over 80 metres from goal.
🇪🇬 Egypt (again): Egypt appealed for a penalty before Argentina’s late winner. Play continued, and Argentina scored moments later.
🇨🇭 Switzerland: Embolo was sent off after VAR intervened for an alleged dive near midfield, one of the most unusual VAR decisions fans have seen.
One controversial decision can happen. But when the same team benefits from them in almost every round, people are naturally going to ask questions.
