That’s because he’s French and if a referee’s own country reaches the World Cup semifinals, FIFA’s practice is that the referee is not considered for any of the remaining matches.
It has nothing to do with his superb officiating of the Argentina vs Egypt game
The extent to which antisemitism has crept into online narratives around the World Cup is as worrying a sign as any to demonstrate how pervasive and ‘trendy’ it now is. Even the most tenuous link to Jews or Israel is enough to spark a cascade of conspiratorial, frenzied jew-hate.
dieser messi/argentinien hate zeigt glaube wer wirklich keinen IQ hat - leute benutzen palästina-israel aus argument, sagen das die WM gerigged ist und das die da oben dass argentinien (?) die wm gewinnt - das ist wirklich die schlimmste scheiße die ich hier lese
🚨 Luis de la Fuente: “I honestly don't understand why you ask me about the controversy surrounding the referee in the Argentina vs. Egypt match. Where did that even come from? I watched the game and I thought the referee got everything right. I’d actually like to congratulate him because every decision he made was spot on.” @DAZN_ES 🇦🇷🇪🇬
Gegen Messi sein ist der neue Third worldism im Fußball weil Ausländer nicht damit klarkommen dass ein weißer Fußballer mit 39 immer noch mit Abstand der beste der Welt ist und denken der white superior ist privilegiert und unterdrückt die braunen kleinen Fußballer
��� Didier Deschamps praises the performance of French referee Letexier [referee of the Argentina vs Egypt match] and hopes the Argentine referee will be at the same level tomorrow.
"I hope the referee will be as good as Mr. Letexier and his assistants like in the match of Argentina and Egypt. My opponent is Morocco, not the referee" @RMCsport
Not even shocked by what this savage idiot is doing , This guy has a big history of football scandals ,Back in 2016 he went to jail for attacking and Beating a fan. What a bad loser .
Hahaha holy shit
Argentinian fan waves an Israeli flag toward the Egyptian Coach (who was waving the Islamist Palestine flag the other day)
The coach is obviously pissed but can’t do anything so he takes his anger out on the nearest photographer
Wow.
🇦🇷 🤝 🇮🇱
Ball spielen soll Elfer geben, Schulter berühren soll rot geben und auf den Fuss treten darf kein Foul sein.
Wir sind an nem Punkt an dem Fussball für einige Leute nur fair ist, wenn Argentinien verpfiffen wird 😭
