📲 The fans agree: can only Infantino save Messi? | OneFootball

The shirt was already off and the celebrations were wild — but the joy came too soon. Egypt’s goal for 2-0 (58') against Argentina in the World Cup round of 16 was ruled out after VAR intervention. 

What happened? Marwan Attia had fouled Lisandro Martinez in Egypt’s half. The goal was disallowed because of that foul, as no opposing player had touched the ball afterward. Referee expert Lutz Wagner also confirmed on 'ARD' that the decision was correct: "Correctly overturned." It had been an attacking phase in which no Argentine player touched the ball again. 

Football fans online still seem to agree that someone wants to help Argentina. 

But Infantino seemingly can’t fully save Messi and his teammates. Mostafa Ziko then made it 2-0 for Egypt. 

Argentina, however, are not quite ready to accept their World Cup exit, as Cristian Romero pulled one back to make it 1-2 (79'). So it’s getting really exciting again! 

What do you think — are we about to see the next World Cup upset today? Feel free to write it in the comments.
