VAR takes center stage at the World Cup once again.<\/p>\n

Argentina came back from a\u00a02-0 deficit to beat Egypt<\/a>\u00a0and move on to the World Cup quarterfinals, but a disallowed goal from replay review dampened the story.<\/p>\n

Egypt took the lead in the 15th minute off of a brilliant corner and looked poised to take down the defending world champions with another goal in the 58th minute, until VAR found a foul in the build-up.<\/p>\n
