Boy VAR had to earn their FIFA paid trip today pulling an Egypt goal back for an infraction that far back in place and time.

Argentina had a very similar situation on the 3rd goal

but no VAR on that one. I don't like calling back a play for a foul 80 yards away when none of the officials on the field noticed anything. And we only do it if a goal is scored like FIFA wants to be in the business of stopping all of the fun. Argentina had ample time to recover and prevent that goal from being scored. If there had been a quick change of possession in the time in between, would they still have called the goal back?
