Report i read said disallowed 2 hours after it was scored
Apparently there are three minutes left to play, but its all up in the air whether match will resume etc etc
Part of a match report
Argentina’s opening football match at the Olympics against Morocco descended into chaos after a 105th-minute stoppage-time equaliser was ruled out by VAR nearly two hours after it was scored.
The reigning men’s world champions were forced to take cover when missiles and firecrackers were thrown at them by sections of the Morocco support, before fans invaded the pitch and caused the game to be suspended before the final whistle.
As players left the field for safety, fans invaded the pitch following the dramatic equaliser in the 15th minute of injury time.
Argentina’s Cristian Medina scored a last-gasp goal to salvage what looked like a 2-2 draw before play was stopped as confusion reigned on the first day of action in Group B on Wednesday

Nightmare start for Paraguay. Lose 5-0 with ten men. Enciso played 74 minutes.

Oh well, looking like we should get him back sooner rather than later then
No surprise... Japan my favorites to win the whole thing. Wouldn't surprise me if they take a medal at the World Cup in two years. They've found a golden model how to develop players and are very likely to be "the next Belgium" in that sense.
Why it took two hours for VAR to disallow Argentina's dramatic goal at Olympics
Argentina thought they had equalised against Morocco in the 16th minute of stoppage time. Ninety minutes later, the goal was ruled out by the VAR. Here's what happened.
Here's the highlights of the Argentina v Morocco kerfuffle. Apologies if fixtures

A friend of mine went on the early Eurostar today, to watch Rugby Sevens, a quick meal afterward, and return to London.
That can't be right, surely? Please substitute with the officially-approved NSC version:
"A friend of mine went on the early Eurostar today to watch Rugby Sevens but spent 15 hours queuing at passport control so they gave up and came home again."
