World Cup Refereeing Generally Fine, Says Foy

Chris Foy has defended the standard of refereeing at the World Cup, stating that officials have got it right on most occasions. While acknowledging that referees cannot be perfect, Foy believes VAR has helped them when they haven't, pointing to several positive decisions made throughout the tournament.

Responding to Thomas Tuchel's criticism of refereeing as "unreliable, erratic and not good enough" after England's win against Mexico, Foy suggested the comments were "reverse psychology." He specifically addressed Egypt's claims of injustice against Argentina, confirming that the decisions to disallow an Egypt goal and allow Argentina's winner were correct, explaining the foul by Marwan Attia on Lisandro Martínez warranted the call. newsindata.org
