900萬人請愿“將阿根廷逐出世界杯”，阿根廷主帥曾回應：絕不存在任何偏袒

北京時間7月16日凌晨3點，2026美加墨世界杯半決賽，阿根廷隊將在美國亞特蘭大迎戰英格蘭隊，雙方即將上演“宿命對決”。

據體壇周報，近日，一份要求取消阿根廷世界杯參賽資格的請愿書發布在某網站上。截至目前，該網站的投票數已經突破900萬。此前，阿根廷主帥斯卡洛尼曾回應“裁判偏袒”問題：VAR時代偏袒“難如登天”。

More than nine million people have signed an online petition demanding Argentina's expulsion from the World Cup, amid allegations of referee favouritism that the team's manager has dismissed as impossible to pull off in the VAR era.

該請愿的標題為“將阿根廷踢出（Kick Argentina Out）”，正文寫道：很明顯，國際足聯和裁判們偏向梅西和阿根廷。當冠軍已被內定，世界上其他國家為什么還要去競爭呢？把阿根廷踢出世界杯，給其他人一個公平的機會。

The petition, hosted on argentinaout.com, went viral recently after calling for the reigning world champions to be disqualified from the tournament in North America.

Its organisers claim that FIFA and match officials have actively favoured Argentina and their captain, Lionel Messi.

"It is obvious that FIFA and the referees are biased toward Lionel Messi and Argentina," the petition read. "Why should the rest of the world compete when the winner has already been decided? Kick Argentina out of the World Cup and give everyone else a fair chance."

并列出了“阿根廷對陣埃及的比賽顯然作弊了”“阿根廷在對陣安排上‘順風順水’顯然不是巧合”“裁判明顯偏袒阿根廷隊和梅西”等要將阿根廷隊驅逐出世界杯的原因。

不過，該網站能否通過后臺刷票尚不可知，因此真實參與人數存疑。此網站類似上賽季末網友自制的“姆巴佩OUT”請愿網站，該網站當時收獲超四千萬的請愿數。

據此前報道，北京時間7月8日，在0:2落后的絕境中，在梅西上半場罰丟點球的情況下，衛冕冠軍阿根廷隊在比賽最后階段的13分鐘內連入三球，神奇逆轉埃及隊，晉級美加墨世界杯八強。

A week ago, the defending champions pulled off a dramatic comeback against Egypt to advance to the quarter-finals, scoring three goals in the final 13 minutes after trailing 2-0 and seeing Messi miss a first-half penalty.

阿根廷隊沉浸在勝利喜悅中的同時，埃及方面則強烈譴責這一判罰結果，認為比賽存在明顯不公。埃及認為，他們此前的一粒進球經VAR回看后因早前犯規被吹無效，而阿根廷最后的制勝球疑似侵犯穆罕默德·薩拉赫，卻未經過VAR復核便被判有效。埃及方面表示，裁判應啟動VAR審查，取消阿根廷的進球，并判給埃及點球。

While Argentina celebrated, Egypt condemned the result as grossly unfair.

The North Africans pointed out that a goal they scored was disallowed after a VAR review for an earlier foul, whereas Argentina's late winner was allowed to stand despite an alleged foul on Mohamed Salah. Egypt argued that there should have been a VAR review to look at disallowing the goal and awarding Egypt a penalty instead.

埃及隊主帥胡薩姆·哈桑怒不可遏：“我會說出我的想法，不管后果如何。這顯然是一場被操縱的比賽，全世界都看到了。還有，我想再說一件事：如果他們那么希望阿根廷獲勝，為什么還要召集我們這些球隊來參賽？”

Egypt's manager Hossam Hassan furiously said afterwards: "I'll say what I think, regardless of the consequences. This has clearly been rigged, and everyone has seen it. If they want them to win so badly, why are they inviting everyone to participate in the World Cup?"

哈桑直言，國際足聯就是想讓梅西留在世界杯，“國際足聯倡導公平競賽，但我們沒在場上看到。如果不是這些錯誤判罰，比賽結果就會不同。”

Hassan claimed that FIFA simply wanted to keep Messi in the tournament. "FIFA promotes 'Fair Play', but we didn't see it on the pitch … without those mistakes, the result would've been different," he added.

在1/4決賽賽前發布會上，阿根廷主帥斯卡洛尼回應了裁判偏袒問題。

斯卡洛尼表示：“有了VAR和各種系統，想要獲得優待是很難的，非常困難。有了VAR，其實沒有太多模棱兩可的空間，他們向我們解釋得非常清楚。”

Speaking at a press conference ahead of the quarter-finals, Argentina manager Lionel Scaloni dismissed the allegations, stating that showing favouritism in the VAR era was next to impossible.

Scaloni said: "With VAR and all the technology we have today, it's extremely difficult to help anyone. There is no room for different interpretations."

同時，他認為社交媒體會放大一切，爭議也由此產生。“但絕不存在任何偏袒。恰恰相反，如今想要偏袒任何一方都是非常困難的，真的很難。我不知道，也許很多年前這種事是可能的，我不清楚，但在今天，這簡直難如登天。”

He added that social media amplified everything, fuelling controversy. "But there is no favouritism. On the contrary, it's very difficult to help anyone nowadays. I don't know, maybe many years ago this kind of thing was possible, I'm not sure, but today, it's next to impossible," he said.
