2022 world Cup About 5 days have passed since the final, but the echoes of this fight, which according to many are the best match in history, continue.
3rd Objection GOAL OF FRANCE
France, who lost 2-0 to Argentina, made the score 2-2 through Kylian Mbappé in the 80th and 82nd minutes and took the match into extra time, objecting to the goal Messi scored gave Argentina a 3-2 lead after extra time. According to L’Equipe’s report, the French team claimed that referee Szymon Marciniak had made a rule error. It was stated in the news that it was clearly seen that some players from the Argentina bench entered the field without Messi’s third goal kick and that the goal should be ruled invalid. Recalling Rule 9 Paragraph 3 of the FIFA Regulations, the news item read: “The referee should have disallowed the goal and awarded a free kick to France.”

FIFA’S RULE ON THE MATTER
“If, while a goal is being scored, another player enters the field (player, substitute, sent off, team official), the goal must be disallowed. The match must start with a direct free kick from the place where the defender unauthorized entered the field”.
EMILIANO MARTINEZ’S MOVEMENTS ARE AN EVENT
The actions of Emiliano Martinez, who could not protect his goal against Mbappé in the match, but did not concede a goal against Kolo Mouani in the 120+3 and became a giant in his castle on penalties, during the awards ceremony and celebrations in Argentina , aroused a great reaction from the French front.
Named the best goalkeeper of the 2022 World Cup, Martinez presented the Golden Gloves with the award in a way that could be interpreted as offensive to French fans.
The images of the 30-year-old goalkeeper, who caused reactions with his actions at the award ceremony, silenced his teammates and said “1 minute of silence for Mbappé” during the celebrations in the locker room, were also reflected on social media.
The latest event that broke the glass on the French front occurred at the parade in Argentina. He greeted millions of Argentines in an open-top bus Messi and his friends show again had Martinez in the lead role. The Aston Villa goalkeeper, holding a doll with a photo of Mbappé on his lap, caused a sensational reaction. The reaction of the French front was aimed at both Martinez and Messi, teammate of PSG’s Mbappé.
