It's crazy to think that France and other EU nations got pissed off because they saw during 90 min what South American football is, they had to experience for 90 minutes what we've been experiencing for almost a century now. Both in clubs and national teams. If you think what Paraguay did was bad, it used to be 100x worse, without VAR and with the refs making decisions clearly in favor of one side.
VAR was introduced in 2017, since them only one Argentinean team won Copa Libertadores. And VAR let them score a hand goal at semi against a brazilian team. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JzhLJ5CJ2JA
you think Paraguay was wasting time against France? this is the normal when you play against Argentinian teams. From 2023 match between Palmeiras (BR) and Boca Jrs (ARG)>22 minutes wasted>12 minutes due to Boca players going down and receiving treatment on the pitch, with nine of those minutes occurring in the second half; >10 minutes due to delays by goalkeeper Romero in restarting play, with seven of those minutes occurring in the first half.
According to South American refs, this is offside. Another case of an Argentinan team getting helped by the ref.

holy vira latayou will never be Portugueseall your good players are cucked from you by hated europeansnobody cares about your amateur league
argentinian coaches used to tell their gks to do this because the ref wouldn't do shit. This one happened in a final, and of course the ref didn't make it repeat.
