Argentina beat France on penalties to win the championship, with a number of refereeing controversies

Argentina won the 2022 World Cup in Qatar for only the third time in their history, beating France in a penalty shootout.

There were many controversies about the referee’s decision in this match. To tell you the truth, I knew it would be against Messi when I used the Polish referee before the match. Here is a look at the controversial decision in this match.

The first controversy was Di Maria’s penalty, it should be said that there was nothing wrong with the ball, after Di Maria past Dembele, Dembele obviously anxious with his hand to push Di Maria, and his right foot also caught Di Maria, Di Maria at this time head forward behind someone to push forward is normal, at least Di Maria did not intentionally to encounter the Dembele police.

In the 50th minute of the second half, Rabiot side scissor leg down depaul, the referee showed the former yellow card, this action is clearly a red card action, you know the red card foul video referee is to remind the referee, but the video referee did not react.

The game in the 78th minute, Otamendi to Muani foul, the referee awarded a penalty, carefully look Otamendi’s hand did not pull just hand on Muani body, of course, this time Argentina 2-0 lead, the referee gave the penalty is very normal, after all, it is impossible to let the game without suspense, can only say to the referee awarded a penalty. score predictions.The funny Muani couldn’t shoot at all, or he would have killed Argentina in the last minute of extra time, and he missed the final penalty kick, obviously knowing his shot wasn’t working, which is why he went down.

In the final moments of extra time, the Argentine No4 was clearly not using his arm when Mbappe hit a shot, but France were 2-3 down, giving the referee the chance to award a penalty.

Maybe some people say that whether it is intentional or not, it is not a problem to give a penalty, yes, the problem is that Polish referee Marziniak officiated the match between Argentina and Australia, there was also a ball like this, and did not give a penalty, but the same referee gave two different decisions, this is a problem.

Why are all the unintentional arm touch the ball in the penalty area, the same referee but not the same penalty, do not say that we understand, this Argentina knockout matches are all European referees, as if there are no referees in other regions.

Before the game many people are optimistic about France can easily take the World Cup championship, really I am optimistic about Argentina, but did not expect Argentina is like this to take the championship, it should be said that Argentina 2-0 ahead of France when the whole court pressed France, France did not have a shot, but why was France equalized the score.

Argentina 4 knockout matches are 2-0 lead, in addition to Croatia did not have a problem, the other 3 games are very difficult to win, this is mainly the problem of Argentina coach, let’s talk about this game coach appeared what so-called.

Starting with Di Maria to replace Paredes, it is a risk, after all, France is fast, Di Maria does not like to defend, in addition to Messi, two people do not defend Argentina’s defense pressure is very big. Unexpectedly Di Maria may have had too much time off and instead played very well, drawing a penalty and scoring a goal.

In the 70 minutes of the second half, France had no chance, even if the substitution of Dembele and Giroud early on, France’s attack was not good, but the substitution of Di Maria and the substitution of Akunha obviously France’s attack is stronger, you know, Akunha is also attacking, against Holland, Akunha created a penalty, Di Maria can but should be replaced with Martin, playing in the third centre of defence, Let Martin take on Mbappe. It’s not clear why Martin didn’t play a minute. You know before Argentina 2-0 lead is the first time to change small Martin to play 3 center back.

Extra time coach and put on Lautaro, really Lautaro play I have been worried, and we think the same, kept missing opportunities, at least 3 scoring opportunities, although the production of Messi goal, but Lautaro is really can not be used.

Argentina won against France on their own terms. They defended very well in the first half. If they had brought on Martin in the centre three earlier, France would have had no chance of equalising.
