الأرجنتين vs مصر

In the build-up to Argentina's 3-2 winner, an Argentina defender blatantly held and pulled Egypt's Fathy by the shirt — from outside the box to inside — to stop him playing the ball, then Argentina won it and scored on an unbroken counter. Nothing was given and VAR stayed out. This is a wrong decision. A blatant, sustained shirt pull is a clear holding foul, and a build-up foul this obvious is exactly the clear-and-obvious error VAR must correct — the goal should have been disallowed. Note the same match disallowed Egypt's goal for a far softer build-up foul: the softer offence punished, the blatant one ignored, both favouring Argentina. WRONG DECISION, medium confidence.
