That link is one of the most bullshit, biased “analyses” I’ve ever read. It shows multiple pictures of the the Egyptian player 1) holding onto the arm, 2) stepping on the foot, 3) then grabbing the shirt and pulling to the ground the Argentinian attacker… and then he says it probably wasn’t a foul because they both had to put their feet somewhere?? He also said it shouldn’t count as the start of the attacking phase because the Argentinian players didn’t run hard enough to get back on defense?? That is not what the rules say. Nearly every other thing I’ve read about that exact play said the right call was made. Watching the video is even more clear this was a foul, since ignoring the foot stomp you can very clearly watch the Egyptian player drag the Argentinian player to the ground by his shirt.
This whole story is about Egyptians feeling like the ref was biased against them. If the ref didn’t give Egypt a yellow that they deserved then it kinda discounts the claims made in this video.
