You are a despicable, filthy, bribe-taking piece of trash. How—you pathetic excuse for a human—do you get to officiate a match in this shitty cup? Let me tell you: you and your entire system are just as filthy as you are.

The Egyptian national team didn't just face Argentina; they also faced FIFA itself. It was a historic and honorable match for the Egyptian team, from which they emerged with their heads held high, but it will be remembered for a long time due to the refereeing scandals that marred it.
