Ian Wright Questions Validity of Argentina's Winning Goal

Ian Wright, a former England international and Arsenal forward, expressed his belief that Argentina's winning goal against Egypt in the Round of 16 of the 2026 FIFA World Cup should have been disallowed. The match ended with Argentina winning 3-2, with Enzo Fernandez scoring the decisive goal.

Wright contended that a foul by Mo Salah during the buildup to Fernandez's goal warranted a thorough review by VAR, similar to a previous incident where Mostafa Ziko's goal was disallowed due to a foul by Lisandro Martinez. The match saw Egypt initially take a 2-0 lead with goals from Yasser Ibrahim in the 15th and 67th minutes, but Argentina responded with goals from Cristian Romero and Lionel Messi, culminating in Fernandez's late winner.
