Perhaps Leo was right to complain about refereeing in South America.
Leo Messi scored a goal in the second half against Paraguay to make it 2-1 for Argentina. However, VAR denied ruled the goal off because of a foul (was it a foul though?) that happened half a minute earlier.
Many fans were frustrated by the decision as the Albiceleste didn’t score on a counter, they actually kept the ball for a while And the fouled Paraguay player got up and returned to his own half to help in defence. Still, the referee took the goal away.

Messi's goal is ruled off by VAR. Several passes before the goal for a foul. Still think VAR is ruining the game.

I don’t see any way that meets the standards set out for VAR. Messi goal erased by a bizarre decision.

Seems like VAR went all the way back to the 2018 World Cup to find that foul.

VAR really travelled back in time to find a foul to deny that Messi goal
