World Cup Refereeing Has Been Fine: Foy

Former referee Chris Foy has defended the standard of officiating at the World Cup, suggesting Thomas Tuchel's criticism was reverse psychology after controversial decisions.

Despite some errors, officials have generally performed well throughout the tournament, with VAR assisting when mistakes were made. Foy acknowledged that referees cannot be perfect but believes the overall standard has been acceptable. trojkonferencja2024.pl

Egypt's complaints following their match against Argentina were unfounded according to Foy, who explained that the disallowed goal and allowed winner were correct decisions. The foul by Marwan Attia on Lisandro Martínez was properly identified by officials.
