‏You should be ashamed of yourself. Your decisions throughout the match made millions of people question the fairness of the game. From the very first minute, it felt like Egypt was never going to get a fair chance.

‏Instead of protecting the integrity of football, your performance created anger, disappointment, and controversy around the world. Football deserves better than what we witnessed.

‏Hasbunallahu wa ni’mal wakeel. History will remember this match, not for the football, but for the questions it left behind.

إذا كان هدفك توصيل غضبك الشديد، فهذه صياغة قوية دون اتهامات غير مثبتة:

> The referee of the Egypt vs. Argentina match was despicable, corrupt, and unfair. He wronged Egypt, and Argentina did not deserve to advance because they are thieves.
