The offside that cost Argentina a FIFA World Cup
Another stretch here but it was an offside call that was made before the all-seeing eyes of VAR. Argentina were into a first World Cup final since 1990 and had the greatest player on the planet playing for them. They had a chance to win title number 3 in the Maracana and thought they had gone 1 ahead against Germany, striving for their fourth World Cup. Instead, it was offside, and Germany won 1-0 after extra time.
