Throughout the history of football, World Cup events have been the focus of attention, often accompanied by fierce controversy and referee decisions. Recently, Italian football legend Piero made a forceful statement, pointing out the serious penalty problems Argentina faced when it won the World Cup in 1986 and 2022.
In 1986, the Argentine national team won the World Cup in Mexico, and this victory will always be remembered, however, Piero believes that the referee missed the obvious handball of Maradona against England, which led Argentina to move forward and eventually win the title. This incident caused widespread controversy in football history, as the decision of the referee clearly had an impact on the outcome of the match.
However, not so long ago, at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, Argentina once again won the world championship. Piero believes that this victory was also accompanied by serious penalty problems, but this time it was the opposite. He pointed out that the referees were severely inconsistent in the scale of the game, awarding penalties to Argentina on several occasions, which almost guaranteed them to the final. The situation has caused widespread controversy and questioning, as some believe that the referee's decision clearly favored the Argentine national team.
The issue of penalties behind these two World Cup victories has once again sparked a discussion about the fairness and accuracy of refereeing. Football is a passionate and competitive sport, and referees play a vital role in the match. Their decisions can have a direct impact on the outcome of the match, so there is a need to ensure that the penalty is fair and accurate. Piero's remarks drew widespread concern among fans and experts, who called on FIFA and other soccer governing bodies to strengthen the training and supervision of referees to ensure the fairness and fairness of the match. He also reminded everyone that the beauty and charm of football lies in the fair play of the competition, not in relying on the question of penalties to determine the outcome of the game.
