“Instead of correcting a mistake, VAR hung like a corrupt shadow over the rest of an otherwise incredible match. I’ve never seen fans so united in their abject hatred of it.”
That's something you have to deal with Argentina, Infantino and Netanyahu are rooting for them so this is what you get
>>156478103Who the fuck is VAR?
>video game journalists thinking they understand football rules
>>156478103I'm convinced some coordinated CIA/Mossad hate campaign aimed at Argentina. I saw this shit organized on social media out of nowhere, I'm not sure if it was 2024 or 2025, just trying to pit a bunch of retarded blacks against Argentina. And some of those accounts were bots/shills.For what reason, I have no idea, but there really is an effort to demonize Argentina.
No one would watch Egypt x Switzerland/Colombia, it would ruin the World Cup

>>156478103i'm so sick of niggers complaining about var because of individual decisionsvar sucks because of the viewing experience, refs fuck up, var hasn't exactly eliminated that factor. on top of that we end up with double digits added time every fucking game because sinson needs to analyze whether ngubus pubes were offside or not.var is shit, it's the antithesis of sovl, and it hasn't made refereeing better like it promised. scrap it.

>>156478314>Argentina hate only started in 2024+LMAOThis is the same tier as people saying India hate was solely spurred by China. You know how ridiculous it is to say on a sports board to football fans that Argentina hate only started now

>KOTAKU HAS SPOKEN
>>156478267Video Assisted Rigging
they asked for var en every argie goal
For some reason it just doesn't work well with football, it just kills the game. Pretty much every sport in the world has similar systems and there's not this much controversy about it
>kotaku
>>156478929Footy is too free flowing
>>156478314Here they started with "Argentina is racist" since 2022
https://www.espn.com/soccer/story/_/id/49027532/world-cup-2026-var-review-red-card-penalty-handball-goal-line-technology>A correct intervention by the VAR, and disallowing this goal was the right outcome. The clear foul by Egypt's Attia had a direct impact on their ability to break away and score, leaving Argentina disadvantaged while in an attacking position.>In a difficult end to the match for both the referee and VAR, I am comfortable they were correct in both situations. Mac Allister took a big risk when he grabbed Fathy's shirt off the ball. However, it was minimal, not sustained and did not have a material impact given on the attacker's ability to gain possession of the ball. This, in my opinion, did not meet the threshold for an impactful foul hold and a penalty kick. Equally, the decision not to award Salah a penalty was a correct one. Salah tried to win a penalty as opposed to it being a foul challenge from Alvarez. In these situations, you are looking for a clear action by the defender, and the dynamic of this contact was boot against boot with Salah going to ground unnecessarily.SUCK IT LONG AND SUCK IT HARD.ALIVESONESSI > DEADSONALDO
>>156478103It's clear VAR it's just another tool for corruption They literally just review what they want
Meanwhile, outside of chronically online culture war faggots everyone likes Argentina.One of my favorite japanese rockstars was messiposting on twitter today after the match
>>156478777Sorry faggot, but stop acting like the modern hatred towards Argentina resembles anything from typical Latin American banter and hatred. Its inorganic, and most of it has NOTHING to do with football. The Argentina hate is coded in a way where Argentina is a "racist White colonizer" who genocided blacks. The emphasis is always on them on "White racists". Its also been mixed with Miliei and "zionism" too. Its why most of the thirdie retards jumping onto the Argentine hatewagon are tourists, who have troon flags or are retarded commies, but you see them parroting the same message. The fact that Argentina just randomly gets attacked for this is bizarre, especially since again, I saw this shit BEFORE Millei got elected. I've seen retarded arabic. spanish and black people were they legitimately treat Argentina as a White racist country. Its like meme magic worked and now Argentina is "White" and no longer Latin American.
It’s pretty straightforward
>>156479500all hatred of Argentina inevitably involves the word zionist or nazi

>>156479168Kind of but not really. Colombia Switzerland has had 40 free kicks so far and probably 80 flops over the course of the game. That's someone breaking the rules every 3 minutes

>>156479646>>156479500theyre kinda doing the same schizophrenic shit leftists and third worldists do to the right in other countries where theyll yell ZIONIST and NAZI at the same person even though those are completely opposite things. argentina banter and hate back in the day was making fun of them for being non white indios who think theyre white, now theyre suddenly being treated like theyre gigawhite colonizers. shit is bizzare
>>156478103They didn't see 2022 WC right?
>>156479792I wanted plucky Egypt to win but no way was that a pen

Literally every other sport does video review correctly besides the biggest one on Earth.

>>156478314Some sports twt accounts revealed they were getting paid to complain about argentina lmao. Even twitter accounts completely unrelated to the sport who have never tweeted out anything about footie in the past were suddenly complaining about us getting unfair treatment.
>>156478103Why the fuck should we care what Kotaku says here? Why are you reading kotaku in the first place OP?
can't imagine hating Pissi and Argentina when Penaldo existsI feel sorry for Portuguese but thirdies really have no excuse
why do they do that stupid little box shape hand movement?it's just instant replay. stop making it look even more retarded
>>156479792cute little hop kek
>>156481322tell us how to fix our sport
>>156478267VAR is fiverr indian graphics being used to legitimize the rigging of the sport in favour of whoever fifa supports. You'd best shave 5 inches off your cock if you're a soccer player lest your goal is deemed offside as a result of an involuntary erection.
>>156482308you need more jewish ads and game stoppage for starters
>>156482308scrap VARIt will not magically fix shit refs or riggi, when it's scrapped the same people who wanted it (and are now complaining about it) will just go back to complaining about the refs like they have been. Personally, I prefer to talk shit about the refs rather than talking shit about my own team, and at least without VAR it doesn't take 10 agonizing minutes to wonder what's taking so long and then find out that they're hunting for something to screw my team for
>>156483265forgot to mention VAR needs to be scrapped in all American sports as well

>>156478512It’s amazing how badly you third worlders managed to fuck up video replay. We figured this out decades ago. You watch the replay a couple times, maybe 3 angles, then make a decision. If it takes more than like 30 seconds then it’s too close to properly call and you just leave it as is.
>>156478469>stomps on a guy's foot>then pulls hard on his shirtWhy is this not a foul again?
>>156478103>(((Ethan Gach)))
>>156482308Managers get one challenge per game, they get it back if the challenge is successful. Maybe two challenges but no returns on successful challenges knowing how anal the sport is.Video review is supplemental to officiating, referees can use the video review to adjust or confirm a penalty. The whole "separate officiating team that runs parallel to the officials on the field and can stop the game at any point for any reason" is ludicrously stupid.You have a central review room in something like the NHL but they only directly involve themselves in edge cases and goal reviews in the last 2 minutes of the game. The central review room directly stopping a game happens maybe one a year and it's usually over a missed goal, the on-ice officials have their own separate feed they use during video reviews. If there is an incredibly borderline call or missed call the central review room will assist, key word here is assist, the on-ice officials, the final say in that case is down to then. This is just an example of the video review system I'm most familiar with.Now on the flipside, FIFA is so corrupt and so brazen about rigging that even transitioning to a system like that won't solve anything, between directing the money and specific nationalities of ref holding grudges against specific nationalities of teams and that nonsense. You can have tons of built in safeguards and checks for officiating but one bad apple can spoil the bunch and FIFA is a rotten apple tree.
>>156478103Is anyone ever going to show this rigging? Argentina matches been the most clean of this cup.
>>156478898lol
>>156481684the valid points in question:>umm it's rigged because salah obviously dived and they didn't give him a penaltyEgypt pecheated
>>156484639>You watch the replay a couple times, maybe 3 angles, then make a decision. If it takes more than like 30 seconds then it’s too close to properly call and you just leave it as isCan't tell if bait or stupid because this is absolutely not how it's used in football. If anything the invisible push that no fan wants is for VAR to review more kinds of shit and take longer cuz "you gotta make sure you get it correct" (if the correct team will benefit from the decision more).
>>156484989this.
>>156484639Your sports made a lot of major plays non reviewable and others have to be specifically challenged by the affected team (and each team only has a couple challenges per game). Your refs gave themselves a lot of leeway to rig games.
>>156484986I can tell that anon wasn't serious and then he gets two incredible posts to reply that is why I still love our country. We can also help them fix their police forces too and ring us up any time we do consulting services rofl
>>156484989If they scream it loud enough then it becomes real
>>156484380>Thinking Bibi has any influence
>>156485268there is nothing about VAR that makes it inherently harder for officials/refs/teams/coaches/players to rig games
>>156481684Bro, Egypt lost fair and square, that nigga dove instead of keeping the ball, all his fault.Cope and seethe.
>>156481684You are just a bandwagoning seether from /int/ or /pol/. Never seen your kind make any kind of point that wasnt just>RIGGED RIGGED RIGGED>DUH JOOOOOOSSSS>ARGENTINA RACIST!!!Spammed over and over while you dogpile anyone who disagrees

>>156481684But none of you make any valid pointsOn social media I keep reading that both these plays are 1:1 >>156478469 >>156479792 and they really really aren'tOne is a foul, the other isn'tIn one the player still has possession of the ball and is dispossessed with the help of considerable contactIn the other the player loses possession fair and square and then both players make awkward contact with each other, both have a valid claim and one of them just happens to fall
>>156485921so that's why no one knows anything about the North Korean league
Like the other anon said, clickbaitWe kind of saw it live, in all ways. We saw them judge live, we saw Argentina play live. Then, we saw two teams miss their goals every second, when Argentina was blocked but on target. Bitter pill to swallow after watching Egypt play their heart out but Argentina played well
>>156486388didn't read, penalty for Messi
Personally think Egypt's disallowed goal was goal of the tournament. It's a real disgrace what VAR has done to the game.

>>156486780There is a point to be made about fouls in question vs everyone else in the game deciding to play on anyways
>>156487115this, there are angles where you can literally see the guy playing on normally afterwards, he didn't even stay on the ground or fake a limp like usual. it was only a foul because they scored.

So I couldn't watch the game, but I don't get what all the fuss is about. Here >>156478469, it's shown that it was a clear foul, while here >>156479792, it was just a normal bit of contact, with Salah exaggerating the fall.
>>156478103I didn't know kotaku still existed
>>156478314Israel is interested in taking Patagonia from Argentina. They can't do it while the world looks at them as the worst people ever, so they're crafting a fake image of our country to make people think we deserve to get bombed and killed when the jewish-owned amerigolem army invades us.
>>156478929The problem stems from the vast majority of football players being dirty cheaters, it's been ingrained into them from early on by coaches to bend and break every rule for any advantage, hurt your opponents if you can get away with it, do everything in your power to fool refs into giving you penalties, free kicks or a player less to deal with on the other end and so much more. You don't see tennis players point to the wrong mark on clay, insult each others families hoping for a reaction or launch balls at the opponents dick or face or anything. Because they're civilized and weren't taught to act like animals, they follow rules to an autistic degree and will even snitch on themselves if the ball double bounces before they get to it or a ball was in that the umpire couldn't tell
>>156478267Its short for VARgentina.
>>156489388You...talking to me Mr.Eipstein Ramonez?
This is the same argument as the USA shit. Its pathetic. They rage when FIFA correctly fixes something they disagree with. Egypt fouled and led to a goal for them. VAR correctly identified it and the yurolibs and brownoids sperg out. They've really merged into one

VAR has turned into a tool for influencing the course of a match by arbitrarily picking out potential fouls from the countless incidents that occur during a game. Even casual viewers who rarely watch football can see it.

>>156491420jeez
>>156478469so do it instantly if it's a foul not 5 minutes after the team has scored and the guy on ground has raised no objection also make it power of both captains where they can call to var no more than 2 times for unfair decisions by ground ref.
>>156478296Don't worry, they don't understand video games either so it's par for the course.
>>156486875its not offside and the only reason that foul was even reviews was because vargentina needs to win at all costit was a beautiful goal
>>156479500Argentina have been known as a rigging country since 1978, and the riggi meme about Messi has been going on for years on /sp/, long before he left BarcelonaYou're just a /pol/fag tourist trying really hard to push racial politics into this when it's about corruption

Look, you even added new ones. Saying Argentina is a "rigging country" (huh? One infamous incident like Hands of God makes you think Argentina alone has that reputation).You fucking shills say I'm pushing "racial politics", when the entire anti-Argentina spam on xitter is nothing BUT racial politics, but the problem is me pointing this out. Fuck you faggot.
