Chris Foy has defended the standard of refereeing at this World Cup, dismissing Thomas Tuchel's criticism as "reverse psychology." While acknowledging officials cannot be perfect, Foy notes they have generally got decisions right, with VAR helping correct mistakes when they occur.

Despite Egypt's complaints following their match against Argentina, Foy confirmed the decisions to disallow an Egypt goal and allow Argentina's winner were correct, citing a foul by Marwan Attia on Lisandro Martínez as the reason for the disallowed goal. albergomalica.it
