Argentine fans launch petition to replay World Cup final after Spain win | OneFootball

Argentina’s World Cup final defeat to Spain has sparked fresh uproar, with Argentine fans launching an online petition for a replay, citing the referee’s impact on the outcome.

According to Superdeporte, organisers argue several decisions went against the Albiceleste and want any replay handled by a different referee. Spain won 1-0 after extra time, Ferran Torres scoring the decisive goal.

The petition, circulated online, has gathered tens of thousands of signatures in a short time and reignited debate on social media.

Backers contend FIFA should review the match to safeguard transparency and sporting fairness, although there is no precedent for a World Cup final being replayed on such grounds.

FIFA has given no indication it will examine a replay. The controversy continues to divide supporters in both countries.
