World Cup Refereeing Has Been Fine - Foy

Former referee Chris Foy defends World Cup officials against Thomas Tuchel's criticism, stating that referees have generally performed well with VAR helping correct mistakes.

Former referee Chris Foy has defended the standard of officiating at the World Cup, dismissing Thomas Tuchel's criticism as "reverse psychology." Foy acknowledged that while referees have made occasional errors, they have mostly got decisions right, with VAR helping to correct mistakes when needed.

Using the Egypt vs Argentina match as an example, Foy explained the correct decisions that went against Egypt, including a disallowed goal due to a foul by Marwan Attia on Lisandro Martínez. "Like everyone, referees cannot be perfect," Foy stated, emphasizing that the officials have generally performed adequately throughout the tournament. asg-reflektory.pl
