Who was the better defense? Argentina’s goalie, Or VAR?

Their goalie put in work no doubt, but VAR was there to back him up. They got that goal during main time, but thanks to VAR (Video Assistant Referee) they determined the scoring player was off sides by 1” (not an exaggeration).

    The foul being accidental doesn’t make it not a foul. If it was on purpose (or easier to show, was reckless) that’s usually a card.

    Fouls don’t require intention.

    There may be an argument that the foul was incidental and didn’t affect play, but that’s a pretty difficult argument when it’s a foul against a defender in a position to affect play.
