🚨 José Mourinho on Argentina vs. Egypt:
“This is daylight robbery. It’s a shame what football is becoming. How do you let the play continue, allow the goal to be scored, and only then decide to go back and cancel it? If there was a foul, stop the game immediately. Don’t wait until after the goal.
Then I ask another question—why wasn’t Argentina’s first goal reviewed with the same attention when it looked very close to offside? Why was every incident involving Argentina checked, while Egypt didn’t seem to get the same treatment?
VAR is supposed to bring fairness, not confusion. Today, it looked like every important decision went in Argentina’s favour. Football deserves better.”
🚨🗣 Salah on the match officiating:
"The less I say about it, the better. I don't want to end up with a hefty fine from FIFA... but you know what it is." 🇪🇬🇦🇷
In what universe does VAR get used to wipe out a goal because of a supposed foul on the other end of the pitch?
Even the English commentators are sitting there stunned, because everyone can see what’s happening. FIFA has pulled out every trick in the book to rob Egypt of what should be a two-goal cushion.
Feel sorry for Egypt, they were not just playing against 11 men they were playing against a whole corrupt institution which goes beyond this football game.
