🚨 Thierry Henry on Argentina knocking Egypt out of the FIFA World Cup:
🗣️ “This one feels like outright daylight theft on the pitch.
I’m not questioning Argentina’s talent they’re stacked with elite players but they didn’t merit the victory tonight.
Egypt fought tooth and nail to establish that two-goal cushion. They showed real grit in defense, flair going forward, and fully deserved every bit of their advantage.
The game shifted because of the officiating, in my view. That early penalty for Argentina already looked questionable, and from then on, it seemed like every big call went against Egypt.
Those moments completely altered the flow and handed Argentina the lifeline they needed.
Egypt will be devastated leaving this competition. They came so close to pulling off what would have been one of their finest triumphs.
Football can be won through moments of genius or through disputed calls and right now, the refereeing decisions will be talked about just as much as the action on the field.”

🚨🗣️ Zlatan Ibrahimović: "I don't understand how Argentina always gets favoured by FIFA, they clearly disallowed a legal goal of Egypt and they gave Argentina 8 Penalties in the last 12 World Cup games, I don't understand why the other countries are letting it happen".

@dnxlrq@FPLOlympian Zero ball knowledge last copa America they had to give us a bs red card in order to score in the final seconds of the game and before that we either tie or they win by one it’s not a one sided game like you painting you are slobbering argentinas meat
@dnxlrq@FPLOlympian Argentina has been struggling against easy teams they are not sending Colombia packing quite the opposite they are going to face their first real team against Colombia
“If you give a red card here, the consistency, why is not Messi getting the red card?”
