While in Argentina the fans continue to get excited when they see the images of this unforgettable World Cup Qatar 2022reliving a unique moment for what the finish meant and for all the seasonings that surrounded the dramatic definition of the title in the Lusail stadium, In France, the complaints against the shortlist of arbitrators headed by the Polish Szymon Marciniak continue.
So, More than 200,000 fans of the French team signed an online request on the WesOpinions website asking to replay the World Cup final, considering that there were errors by the judges which had a clear impact on the final result of the match. Specifically, what are the complaints?
First, they question the penalty in Argentina’s first goal. Although there is a connection between Ousmane Dembele Y Angel DiMaria, They understand that it was not violent enough to bring down Angelito and to consider it an offense.
They support it “there has never been a penalty”, claiming it was just a brush and that the 34-year-old forward went down easily. The criticism is aimed at referee Marciniak, but also at the VAR judges for not correcting the main referee’s initial decision.
Then they argue it In the play before the 2-0 goal, in the 36th minute of the first half, Cuti Romero fouled Kylian Mbappé, what it is not possible to notice in the cameras of the official broadcast. According to what they say, it happened in the opposite end of the court from where the ball was and that’s why the judges didn’t detect it.
Despite Scaloneta’s absolute dominance in the first 70 minutes, Kylian Mbappé appeared and, in a pair of oversights by the Argentine team, sent the match into extra time. Here’s the other controversy: argue that Argentina’s third goal should have been disallowed because two substitutes came on before Messi’s shot crossed the line.
Despite the praise Marciniak received for how he handled the pressure of a tense match, the most important of the World Cup, the request states that “the arbitration has been totally bought.”
If it reaches 200,000 signatures, which seems quite likely, it will become one of the twenty most signed petitions on MesOpinions, although it seems highly unlikely that this site could convince FIFA to listen to the claims.
