It is not a movie script. That you can replay the scene. And, even in the world cup, last year, France was just a touch away from winning it. Then what about the match with the Netherlands?

Sort:  

About that game, I’ll just say two things:

  1. Messi’s clear and intentional handball, which didn’t even earn him a yellow card.

  2. The clear aggression and provocation by an Argentine player (I don’t remember who it was) when he kicked the ball directly at the Dutch bench—and he, too, didn’t receive a yellow card.

Those actions clearly influenced the match, and the obvious intention was to provoke and throw the Dutch players off their game, which they achieved with the referee’s help.

I do agree with you at some points, but saying that it is rigged is not acceptable at all for me. Nowadays, everything is being called rigged. Take England's first goal, or Crotia's hair touch one. Maybe Modric was right about the VAR.

Yeah, there are some controversial decisions for almost every team, but look at this, VAR entered in almost every Argentina game and the decision is always favorable for them. There's no decision made against them. When something happens that will be against them, the VAR doesn't enter. So it is, at least, suspicious.
