F*** the referee

We are champions, without a doubt. Egypt is always and forever the mother of the world. Egypt played against Argentina... and against the referee, against VAR, against gambling companies and sponsors, and against Israel... and Messi was above it all!

They lost the match, but they won the world's respect. Champions in every sense of the word

Tu es un arbitre honteux et complètement nul. Tu as tout fait pour que l’Argentine gagne ce match. Tu as volé la victoire de l’Égypte, et tout le monde a vu ton injustice. Tu devrais avoir honte de toi.

Un arbitre injuste et corrompu — soutenu par la FIFA et l'Argentine — qui fait preuve d'une absence totale de transparence ; à la place, on assiste à de l'injustice et à du racisme envers les Arabes. Maudit sois-tu.
