World Cup Refereeing Generally Fine: Foy

Chris Foy has defended the standard of refereeing at the World Cup, stating that officials have mostly got it right with VAR helping correct mistakes. While acknowledging occasional errors, Foy believes referees cannot be perfect and has dismissed Thomas Tuchel's criticism as "reverse psychology" after the England manager described the officiating as "unreliable, erratic and not good enough" following his team's win against Mexico.

Egypt's claims of injustice against Argentina were also refuted by Foy, who confirmed that the decisions to disallow their goal and allow Argentina's winner were correct. The Egypt goal was properly disallowed due to a foul by Marwan Attia on Lisandro Martínez during the attacking phase, with Foy noting there is no time limit on how many passes are considered in such reviews. likesport.biz
