How Normal Is It To Have 3 Goals Rejected?
It looked like Argentina totally dominated the first half, but had three of its goals rejected (offsite). How normal is this?

Without Googling, I would estimate that about 0.5 goals per game are disallowed, maybe 0.3 for offside alone. So no, it's extremely rare to have three in one game. I am struggling to remember a game in which I've seen that happen and I've watched many hundreds of games.
To get such a huge upset needs three things to happen: The big team has an off day, the underdog plays to their maximum level and the underdog also gets a bit of luck. Without any one of those three, Argentina would have won.
