Is this World Cup corrupt? That VAR delay is so unfair. Do FIFA want them to beat France?

I think FIFA would have wanted France - as the bigger and better for business team, and with Mbappe in the side - to beat Morocco? But perhaps the Ref/VAR officials, after the outrage over the decisions that went against Egypt in their game v Argentina, were under instructions to be less blatantly biased? As it is, Morocco may have had a point about Rabiot's handball in the lead-up to France's first goal, and there was also some controversy about the penalty awarded to France that Mbappe missed, given the defender got to the ball first - but to my mind the defender's trailing leg probably did trip Mbappe, though he may have been falling already.
Anyway, France won quite comfortably in the end, and surely deserved to given their dominance, goal efforts, and expected goals stats.
