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).

    I found that offside decision questionable even when they tried to justify it with VAR. The way they drew the line was a bit… odd to say the least. All through the World Cup they kept mentioning players could be up to 10cm (~4") beyond the defensive player for it to be called offside, yet when it’s for Argentina apparently being offside by a bee’s dick is all that’s needed.

    Thankfully Spain still came out as the better team without any trademark Argentine “luck” altering the outcome.
