Fuck Israël, la France et l'Amérique.

Toi, l'arbitre, fils de pute, fils de salope, va te faire foutre, toi et ta mère, fils d'une adultère... va te faire foutre, toi et la mère qui t'a mis au monde, fils de pute.
Va te faire foutre, va te faire foutre, toi et ton pays, la France, et va te faire foutre, Israël — l'entité sioniste... Libérez la Palestine.

L'arbitre du match Égypte-Argentine devrait être jugé et destitué ; il était corrompu et flagorneur. L'Argentine ne méritait pas de gagner.
Le match _Égypte_Argentine devrait _être_ rejoué.
