The Goal That Wasn't

Egypt led Argentina 2-0 with eleven minutes left. Then a goal was scored. Then VAR reviewed it. Then it was disallowed — for a foul that happened at the other end of the pitch. This video breaks down the VAR decision that ended Egypt's World Cup, why expert analysts publicly disagreed on whether it was correct, and the one question nobody has a clear written answer to: how far back is VAR allowed to go? Compound World covers the events, decisions, and power structures that shape the world — economics, finance, sports, and beyond. Grounded in real data. No hot takes.
