World Cup Refereeing Has Been Fine - Foy

Chris Foy has defended the standard of refereeing at the World Cup, suggesting critics like Thomas Tuchel may be employing reverse psychology. While acknowledging occasional errors, Foy believes officials have generally got it right, with VAR helping correct mistakes when they occur.

The former referee addressed specific concerns raised by Egypt about their match against Argentina, confirming the decisions to disallow an Egypt goal and allow Argentina's winner were correct. Foy noted that the disallowed goal involved a foul by Marwan Attia on Lisandro Martínez during the attacking phase, which was properly identified by officials despite Egypt's protests. afnews.co.za
