Vous êtes un homme injuste et vous ne vous souciez pas de votre statut. Nous avons appris que vous travaillez dans les tribunaux français du ministère de la Justice, mais que vous n'étiez pas affilié au ministère de la Justice et que vous ne représentez pas la justice et la justice. Votre carrière d'arbitrage prendra fin, mais la honte et la prise pour vous et vos petits-enfants ne s'arriveront pas. 🙅🏻‍♂️🙅🏻‍♂️🙅🏻‍♂️🙅🏻‍♂️🙅🏻‍♂️🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

The Egyptian national team was the better side for long periods of the game. We played with courage, intensity, and confidence. We took the lead, created the better moments, and put one of football's biggest giants under real pressure. Argentina looked vulnerable, and Egypt showed the world that there was no gap in quality.

Millions of football fans witnessed decisions that changed the course of the match. From our perspective, the refereeing had a decisive impact on the result and overshadowed what should have been remembered as one of Egypt's greatest World Cup performances.

Regardless of the final score, Egypt earned the respect of football fans around the world. This te
