The Baron

I was set up among the wolves and came out leading the pack.

🚨🗣️New: Mohamed Salah on the controversial officiating decisions in Egypt and Argentina game, Messi and Argentina are being favored:

“People will say Argentina showed the mentality of champions. Fine. But tell me this: when exactly did Egypt get the same protection from the officials?

We scored a second goal. The stadium exploded. The world saw it. Then suddenly VAR became an archaeologist, digging through the ruins of football history to find a foul from another lifetime.

Funny how they could rewind the game Five minutes to cancel our goal, but when I was brought down in the box, everyone suddenly forgot where the replay button was.

That’s what hurts. Not losing. Not Argentina.

The inconsistency.

One decision gets examined under a microscope. Another gets buried under the carpet.

We were told football is decided on the pitch. Tonight it felt like it was decided in a control room.

And let’s talk about those final minutes.

Two penalty appeals. Two moments that could have changed everything. Nothing. No review. No urgency. No explanation.

Then Argentina go down the other end and score the winner.

That isn’t a plot twist. That’s the kind of script that leaves millions of people asking questions.

Egypt fought for every blade of grass. We defended. We believed. We earned our moments.

But every time we climbed the mountain, someone moved the summit.

The disallowed goal.

The ignored penalty shouts.

The cards flying around our bench because people who dedicate their lives to this game couldn’t understand what they were witnessing.

And now we’re expected to smile and say football won?

No.

Football wins when the rules are applied equally.

Football wins when VAR is a shield for fairness, not a sword that appears only when convenient.

Because from where I’m standing, Egypt didn’t just lose 3-2.

Egypt lost a goal, lost two penalty appeals, lost faith in consistency, and eventually lost a place in the quarter-finals.

Maybe Argentina deserved to advance.

Maybe they didn’t.

That’s football.

But what will make people angry isn’t the result.

It’s the feeling that one team was forced to play against eleven men, the clock, and a set of decisions that seemed to change shape whenever the game demanded it.

And that’s why this match will be remembered long after the scoreline is forgotten.”

Mustafa Ziko, attacks FIFA and the French referee:

The referee is unfair, a clear injustice .. he wasted the effort of an entire country

From the first minute, he's been refereeing against us .. the tournament is rigged.

I apologize to all the people of Egypt and the Arab nation .. it's not in our hands, the tournament is rigged and the referee wronged us

My source has confirmed that the Nigerian man, Francis Chukwudike, who was mocking Zulu culture, lives in Cape Town. He reportedly arrived in South Africa on a student visa in 2009 and now owns a club and several businesses.

He has allegedly been wanted by Nigeria's Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) since at least 2021 for cyber-related fraud.

The charges reportedly include criminal conspiracy, computer related fraud, and obtaining money by false pretences, among others, alongside several other individuals who were declared wanted at the time.

He was declared a fugitive, and reports claim that he has been living openly in South Africa, including in Cape Town and Sandton, despite the warrant. Reports also mention past incidents involving unpaid bills at various venues.

Home Affairs is failing this country. 😩😩
