Reaction to suggestions that Messi's goal in the World Cup championship should not have stood
In response to criticism that Argentina's goal should not have stood, a VAR official from the World Cup final has supported the match referee in insisting that his crew handled "many close calls" effectively.
Lionel Messi's goal in extra time had taken Argentina 3-2 ahead before Kylian Mbappe's late equalizer forced penalties, but the French press was sure it should not have stood.
L'Eqiuipe and many others on social media stated that Argentina players were present on the field when Messi scored in the 108th minute.
However, throughout the entire match, VAR official Tomasz Kwiatkowski defended the choices made by his team.
According to RMC Sport, he claimed that six goals were scored in vital phases of attacks where there were multiple close calls.
"I received three penalties that [referee] Szymon Marciniak very skillfully called," the player said. Remember that occasionally a dive is in the balance with a penalty after Marcus Thuram's tough dive in two circumstances where I had a potential red card on the line.
He continued, harshly criticizing his detractors, "When you're sitting in a warm chair, drinking a beer, and munching on chips,
He addresses the complaints made concerning the refereeing of this championship match, making everything appear straightforward.
Along with the cases I've already described, I also checked a lot of other details that can be helpful, such as a fast indication of a number or a tiny clue regarding a selection.
After also speaking out on the subject, referee Marciniak made his sincere remarks.
According to Zach Lowy, the Polish referee brought out a photo from his phone taken at the time Kylian Mbappe scored one of his three goals against Argentina during a news conference.
There are seven Frenchmen on the field when Mbappe scored a goal, as shown in this photograph, which the French failed to disclose.
When Lautaro Martinez was put through on goal in the 108th minute, there was controversy. Hugo Lloris made a strong save on his shot, but Messi was there to score on the rebound from close range.
L'Equipe asserts that "two emotionally agitated substitutes" entered the field before Messi's shot crossed the line, which is "strictly prohibited," under the headline "Why Argentina's third goal shouldn't have been awarded."
They note that Law 3, Paragraph 9 of the Laws of Football states: "If, after a goal is scored, the referee becomes aware before play resumes that an additional person was on the pitch at the time the goal was scored: the referee must disallow the goal if the extra person was: a player, substitute, substituted player, sent off player, or official of the team who scored the goal; play must be restarted with a direct free kick from the place where the extra person was."
