VAR: Complicating the Truth Despite Fanaticism:
-
Brazil was wrong in the previous match, with a clear penalty that was not called. Nevertheless, they won.
-
Argentina faced two marked incidents against them. The penalty with which Colombia scored the 2-1 was not a penalty. No matter how much one tries to force or politicize it, it wasn’t a penalty; it’s actually a red card for the Colombian player for simulating a penalty. The reality is that the match in Venezuela should not have been played. It’s literally not “the field is equal for both teams”; obviously, in a field where passes couldn’t be made, where every play was dangerous due to injuries, Venezuela gained an advantage to avoid facing the Argentine national team. Yesterday, VAR made another blatant error, disallowing a goal for the Argentine team, ridiculously for a half-millimeter positioning of a “skin,” something that should not be called on anyone.
