You son of a bitch, you pimp, you're bribed by FIFA, and the whole nation won't let you get away with this. We'll shut down all your accounts. Egypt is above FIFA, above the referee, above America, above Argentina. God is our protector and our judge. Egypt is the mother of the world and above everyone. 🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬

Tu es un arbitre injuste et inique, et tu as gravement lésé l'équipe nationale égyptienne, escroc ! Nous, Égyptiens, n'avons peur ni de toi ni de quiconque comme toi. Que Dieu te précipite en enfer, infidèle !
