I thought the most wrong call of the tourney was Mbappe not getting a penalty when it was 0-0 vs Senegal. That one was ridiculous - first the referee says it's a corner kick. If it had been a corner kick - that would be fine - because it would mean the defender got the ball before he got Mbappe - so no penalty. But then he's asked by VAR to have a second look, and then, it's shown that the defender didn't touch the ball.

However the referee still didn't give a penalty, he said 'the attacker initiated the confrontation' and gave a goal kick.

Can I point out the obvious?

The big teams, when decisions go their way, tend to get given penalties and goals that they wouldn't have originally gotten.
The smaller teams tend to get given free kicks, offsides and handballs in their defensive areas because the big teams are usually the ones attacking.

So when the big team gets a decision it drastically changes the match state, whereas when the small team gets a decision the game state is more likely to stay the same

So an intuitive judgement will be wrong because both sides of the equation are not balanced.


Well the two big wrong calls were Messi not getting a red card in the Algeria game and Ghana not getting a penalty vs England. Two big decisions for two smaller teams

Lol you're still on the Messi tackle when there are far more red card worthy challenges this tournament. Bias much? Egypt had a clear scissor tackle from behind early in their game against Belgium. No card, so the call benefitted the "smaller" team.

I wonder if the England - Ghana penalty had something to do with the offside ruling. Unless I'm confusing it with something else, the initial call on the pitch was to let it play out and then flag it offside afterwards. I don't think it's even close to being an actual offside, but it seems like thing that sometimes somehow manages to trip up the VAR procedure in weird ways.

Once again I just wish they'd talk through the logic on the more controversial calls that there would be at least some kind of learning process on how you end up with some of these outcomes. Some of them could be pretty sound in some weird way, but we'll rarely get the insight.
