2026 World Cup averages lowest fouls per game in recorded history

if you include fouls by Argentina players, it will double the total

Corruption is at the highest during the tournament

Physical contact is certainly necessary, but actions like scissor tackles and elbowing an opponent in the back of the head should be avoided.

alot of foul by Argentina was not called...

Still bringing up the football association… The Argentine Football Association is rotten to the core—inside and out.

However, it must be said that many of Argentina’s fouls went unpunished—under different circumstances, there would likely have been around ten more calls.

Frankly, seeing such low-class tags on your profile has already made me unwilling to educate you (you’re beyond redemption). It’s unimaginable what abysmally warped moral compass you must have to still support such a despicable team. The most irrational “Blue-and-White” fans are now demanding rationality from others.

Indeed, an elbow strike without the ball warrants a yellow card; an elbow strike while holding the ball is a standard foul.

bangladesh peoples die Argentina loss for

we all knew that Argentina will be given an award of villain team of the torment 🙄🤷

It's very difficult moment when you loose the match. At the same time if any player of winner team did sledging or pass any aggressive comment consequences will be definitely worse. Gavi did it with Parades. As like Barco did with Bellingham.

that's my boy gavi

Argentina and Paraguay laughing in corner 😂

Argentina alone had almost 50 fouls overlooked

Relying on fouls due to inferior squad strength is indeed a tactical approach—so enduring the criticism is part of the deal, which is precisely why La Liga’s “lumberjack teams” face such fierce backlash. Why specifically invoke Croatia’s high-foul World Cup campaign as a comparison? Croatia’s excessive fouling naturally draws criticism—not debate about public opinion. In my ten years using the “Dongqiudi” app, I’ve never seen Dongqiudi fans more united than they were in the Argentina post-match comments section this World Cup. Even though I personally dislike Argentina, you can check my comment history—I’ve never posted any post-match opinions. My point is: everyone holds their own views, but the fact that Argentina this year has prompted such widespread consensus among fans suggests something is clearly amiss.

This pig should be banned from football.

The player was kicked into the air, spun a full circle—and only then did the referee dare to produce a card.

They were alot of fouls. The main difference was the referees allowed the games to flow for the most part so most fouls were played as an advantage.
