So who has more information to make the correct call than the Ref, Assistant Refs and VAR Refs?

dcum? lol

You are right— concacaf refs/VAR never make wrong calls. Lol

PP said they have the best information.
Knowledge, expertise and technology.

You're saying wrong or right.
You're not an expert

Literally no one except someone who works for concacaf would try to argue that concacaf refs never make a mistake

Good argument, except, no one made any comment on the thread that refs never make a mistake

We want the rules to be applied correctly. If the Mexican player slipped and his hand touched the ball by accident we get it.

But he was on one knee, looked at the ball, his palmed the freaking ball, then used the ball as a crutch to pick himself back up and dribbled away lol

The rule was not applied correctly in this case

Clearly your rendition of events is fictional, or it would have been a penalty

And I assume that you've watched the presentations and read the guidance that the officials have been given about plays like this?

Not a handball. He wasn't stretched out and was clearly catching his fall. He may have intentionally targeted touching the ball, but under the rules. It was not a handball, watch it at speed to get a better perspective.
