From the man who scored a winner with an obvious handball to knock Ireland out some years ago ... Did anyone say Argentina's game was rigged against Cape Verde when they could easily have lost?

I agree that the winning goal should have been looked at by VAR as the disallowed goal for Egypt was, but I dont understand why it wasn't means the whole competition is biased in favour of Argentina. What happens if they lose their next match? :?


Indeed - Henry clearly an authority on cheating.

Didn't see him rushiing to admit he'd handled the ball in that game against Ireland.

It's a wider problem than just the Egypt game - footbal it seems is becoming more corrupt by the day.

Apparently, this is a made-up quote...

He said he felt the refereeing was in Argentinas favour, not this tin foil hat stuff

Not see much of the World Cup, but i think its rigged no matter who wins it, probably lots of money going on different teams?
