It will be a week since the triumph of Argentina in the final of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar and there is still some controversy about the game against France. Such is the discouragement that the French have started collecting signatures for a replay of the game against Albiceleste. The reason is the supposedly bad arbitration of Poland’s Szymon Marciniak during the 120 minutes.
That’s exactly what the referee revealed WAS He challenged him to take a penalty for France in the final minutes in one of the disputed games as the game was tied 2-2. That happened in the 87th minute, when Marcus Thuram was brought down by a right-leg touch in the box by Enzo Fernández.
“The final VAR for Tomasz Kwiatkowski said that the team has reviewed the Thuram incident and is intuitively inclined to overturn the decision on the field,” he said in a conference that caused the astonishment of communicators.

However, he later added that his video arbitration colleagues carefully reviewed the game and eventually agreed to it.
“But after analyzing the replays, he came to the conclusion that the main decision was correct and agreed,” he said.

Simon Marciniak also criticized France for the complaints he received regarding some decisions he made in the party. The referee emphasized an unaccused breach of the rules by the French.
“The French didn’t mention the photo where we can see that there are seven French players on the field when Mbappé scored,” he pointed out. Marciniakwhile showing an image where the invasion of the ‘Gallito’ substitutes appears.
