[STN스포츠] Correspondent Lee Sang-wan = The Argentine people are protesting once morest the petition of French soccer fans demanding a replay of the Qatar World Cup final.
On the 26th (hereinfollowing referred to as Korean time), ‘Ole’, a leading Argentine magazine, said, “Even a few days following the World Cup, the French people do not seem to accept the runner-up.” .
“Argentina fans also posted a petition on the signature site (community), and as soon as it started on Friday night, it quickly reached 500,000 people,” he said.
According to Ole, he posted a petition titled ‘France, stop crying’ in an Argentinian community.
The content said, “The French do not stop crying following we (Argentina) won the World Cup. They do not acknowledge that we are champions. The French stop crying and admit that Messi is the best player in football history and his son We demand that Kylian Mbappaim be acknowledged.”
Previously, French soccer fans are demanding a replay due to Messi’s scoring scene in the second half of extra time in the final. In the scoring situation at the time, some of the Argentine bench players invaded the ground and the claim of an invalid goal came to mind.
According to Article 3, Paragraph 9 of the International Football Federation (FIFA) Rules of the Game, a goal cannot be scored if a substitute, sent-off player, or team official of the scoring team is in the field (ground).
As the controversy did not subside, referee Simon Marchiniak, who served as the referee for the final, stepped forward. “It doesn’t mention the fact that the French bench players also entered the field when Mbappe scored,” said referee Marciniak.
France, the winner of the previous Russian tournament, took a knee before Argentina, who won the tournament for the third time in 36 years, ahead of their second consecutive victory.
