It's not strange if we take into account that the penalty kick was not checked with VAR, and neither was the one I think was in the match against Poland. It is also not strange if we take into account which referees FIFA assigned for that match, and these are the same ones who sat in the VAR room during the final between Croatia and France 4 years ago, with the help of the corrupt chief referee of course - the whole world saw it.

There is no doubt that Argentina was better in last night's game, but as a nation you didn't really show that you know how to behave appropriately neither when you win nor when you lose - the Croatian jerseys that your players received ended up in the trash can, just like the Mexican ones before that - it is shameful behavior.

It was a clear penalty. No need to check VAR. It's called Obstruction. The keeper prevented Alvarez from doing a follow-up, hitting him without even touching the ball.
Check the video: https://twitter.com/i/status/1602758084157329410, and look how the keeper opens his right leg, even when Alvarez already passed by.

You are talking nonsense. Jerseys are cherished and valued.

And when a team ("nation") shows respect before and during the match, it's respected after it.

A direct free kick in the penalty box is a penalty.
An indirect free kick in the penalty box is not a penalty but simply an indirect free kick in the penalty box where the foul was made.

The penalty for obstruction is an indirect penalty. Hence this WASNT a penalty.

Btw the same is true for kicking too high.

Refereer seem to have forgotten the indirect free kick in the box measure fox anything except when the keeper pick up a bankpassen, erronously choosing between giving a penalty or giving nothing.
