Voleur, corrompu... tu as volé l'Égypte au profit de l'Argentine. Dis-moi : combien Messi t'a-t-il payé ? Combien la FIFA t'a-t-elle payé ?

,🇪🇬🏆🇪🇬Today, Egypt didn't lose to Argentina on the pitch... Egypt lost to controversial refereeing decisions.

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

Vous devriez avoir honte de votre arbitrage lors du match Égypte-Argentine. Le football repose sur l'équité, mais vos décisions biaisées et injustes ont complètement gâché la rencontre. Vous n'avez pas commis de simples erreurs, vous avez délibérément volé les efforts d'une équipe. Vous êtes une honte pour le corps arbitral, et votre nom restera à jamais associé à l'injustice et à l'échec. Une performance lamentable.
