🚨Thierry Henry on Argentina eliminating Egypt from the FIFA World Cup:
🗣️ “For me, this feels like football robbery in broad daylight.
I’m not taking anything away from Argentina’s quality because they have world-class players, but I don’t think they deserved to win this match. Egypt worked incredibly hard to build a two-goal lead. They defended with courage, attacked with confidence and earned every bit of that advantage.
The turning point, in my opinion, was the refereeing. I didn’t agree with the penalty that was awarded to Argentina earlier in the game, and after that it felt as though every important decision was going against Egypt. Whether people agree or disagree, those moments changed the rhythm of the match and gave Argentina the momentum they desperately needed.
Egypt will leave this tournament feeling heartbroken because they were so close to one of the greatest victories in their history. Sometimes football is decided by brilliant moments, and sometimes it’s decided by controversial decisions. Tonight, I believe the officiating will be discussed just as much as the football itself.”
🚨 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.”
🚨 Didier Drogba Blasts VAR Decision in Egypt vs Argentina:
I finally believe Argentina always find the easiest route to progress in the World Cup, and VAR made it obvious tonight.
Thank God VAR didn’t exist in our era. Look at the beautiful run from Hassan and Salah to create that chance - where was the referee then? Was the whistle missing from his hands? He only woke up after they scored.
You could see the reaction from FIFA President Gianni Infantino. I guess he wished he could reverse the second goal by Zizo.
The funny thing is that some fans are already saying Argentina is playing in the African Cup of Nations because they’ve faced mostly African teams since the start of the tournament. But I think yes, they have - and they’re experiencing it well, because Egypt won tonight for me.
Sometimes I blame African teams for not holding onto their leads until the final whistle, but how can they when the referee and VAR always seem to be against them?
We Africans deserve better.
🚨🇦🇷🇪🇬PATRICE EVRA: “EGYPT HAVE BEEN ROBBED!”
🗣️ Patrice Evra on Egypt’s disallowed goal:
“I don’t care what people say, for me Egypt have been robbed. Football is becoming too sterile.”
“The Egyptian player wins the ball, they break forward, they score a brilliant goal, and then somebody spends two minutes looking for a tiny reason to cancel it.”
“VAR was introduced to correct clear mistakes, not to erase great football moments. Today it feels like they searched for a reason to save Argentina.”
“If that goal is allowed for Argentina, nobody is talking about a foul. That’s the reality.”
“Egypt should be 2-0 up. They have outworked Argentina, out-fought Argentina, and now they have to fight against disappointment as well.”
“When a smaller nation finally hurts a giant and the goal is taken away like that, people will always ask questions. For me, Egypt can feel very unlucky today.”

🚨🚨 | FIFA sedang menyelidiki dugaan pelecehan rasis terhadap IShowSpeed ketika live streaming di pertandingan Argentina vs Cape Verde.

Berarti case penyelidikannya atas rasis di pertandingan sebelumnya. dan tadi malam kena rasis lagi. 👀
🚨🚨 Egypt’s Ziko: “The referee is unfair, God is sufficient for me and the best disposer of affairs. He's wasting the effort of an entire nation”.
“The cup is being given to Argentina. They win the World Cup”.
Hehehehehe...
Yg protes banyakan fans netral, tapi dianggap fans Ronaldo.
Jadi makin aneh aja ini Piala Dunia sekarang, macem cebong-kampret aja.
Penonton netral jadi gk punya kesempatan berargumen.
Andaikan yg ditekel seperti ini Messi, akankah sama keputusan wasit?
Gila, bahkan Rio Ferdinand ikut gerah liat performa wasit tadi malam👀
Rio Ferdinand bilang gini:
“Sepak bola butuh keadilan, bukan aturan yang berbeda untuk tim yang berbeda.
Sudah bertahun-tahun gue duduk di sini dan nonton sepak bola, baik sebagai pemain maupun pundit, dan yang paling bikin supporter kesal adalah inkonsistensi.
Kalau Argentina jatuh kena challenge, peluit kayaknya langsung bunyi. Wasit cepat spot foul, cepat stop play, dan cepat protect mereka. Tapi kalau Mesir yang kena insiden serupa, tiba-tiba game dibiarkan lanjut dan semua disuruh move on.
Itu masalah yang diperdebatkan orang-orang malam ini. Bukan hasil pertandingannya sendiri, tapi kurangnya konsistensi dalam pengambilan keputusan.
Terus lo lihat proses menuju gol kemenangan Enzo Fernández. Mesir teriak-teriak minta foul, pemainnya kerumuni wasit, dan jutaan orang yang nonton kira VAR bakal cek dengan proper. Tapi malah kayak semua orang di ruang VAR lagi tidur.
Buat apa sih VAR kalau bukan untuk nge-review momen-momen krusial di pertandingan penting?
Kalau insiden itu terjadi terhadap Argentina di ujung lapangan yang lain, apakah lo bakal percaya itu nggak bakal dicek? Gue agak susah buat percaya.
Kita udah lihat insiden yang jauh lebih ringan dicek sepanjang turnamen ini.
Itu asal muasal frustrasinya. Fans cuma mau standar yang sama diterapkan ke setiap tim.
Dan mari kita bicara soal sisi disiplin permainan. Argentina kayaknya bisa lolos dari banyak hal. Ada challenge yang biasanya bakal bawa kartu kuning, tapi wasit kayak ragu buat ambil kartu dari kantong.
Kayaknya official wasit takut ambil keputusan yang mungkin bikin Argentina kesal.
Kalau lo lihat beberapa pertandingan Argentina di turnamen ini, ada beberapa momen di mana lawan-lawan mereka ngerasa dirugikan. Satu insiden bisa didebat, dua insiden bisa didebat, tapi akhirnya orang mulai notice ada polanya.
Sepak bola tidak bisa mentolerir persepsi seperti itu. Integritas permainan bergantung pada keyakinan para pendukung bahwa setiap negara diperlakukan setara.
Apakah lo Argentina, Mesir, Brasil, Prancis atau siapa saja, hukum permainan seharusnya nggak berubah tergantung badge di baju lo.
Wasit malam itu punya tanggung jawab buat fair, balanced, dan brave. Tapi malah ninggalin jutaan orang nanya-nanya kenapa beberapa keputusan dikasih begitu gampang buat satu sisi sementara insiden serupa yang melibatkan sisi lain diabaikan.
Sepak bola pantas dapat yang lebih baik dari itu. Pemain pantas dapat yang lebih baik. Dan fans jelas pantas dapat yang lebih baik.”
Yang bikin gue setuju adalah bagian “fans cuma mau standar yang sama”. Itu inti masalahnya.
Lo setuju nggak sama Rio soal wasitnya? Atau menurut lo ini cuma persepsi dia aja?

Banyak orang tidak tahu, tetapi isyarat tangan menyilang membentuk huruf "X" adalah isyarat universal FIFA untuk melaporkan pelecehan rasis.
Ketika seorang pemain, pelatih, atau ofisial tim membuat isyarat itu, mereka memberi tahu wasit bahwa pelecehan rasis telah terjadi. Isyarat ini dimaksudkan untuk memicu protokol anti-rasisme tiga langkah FIFA: pertama menghentikan pertandingan, kemudian menangguhkan pertandingan jika pelecehan berlanjut, dan akhirnya menghentikan pertandingan jika pelecehan tidak berhenti.
Hari ini, manajer Mesir Hossam Hassan membuat isyarat "X" dari pinggir lapangan. Alih-alih memulai protokol, wasit memberi Hassan kartu kuning dan membiarkan pertandingan berlanjut.
lempar kaleng bir ke supporter mesir, bentangin bendera israel buat provoke coachnya mesir, bahkan kasih gestur rasis ke ishowspeed.
what a disgusting behavior from argentinian suppporter🤮
Mesir mengklaim terdapat DUA pelanggaran di KOTAK PENALTI yang dilakukan Argentina sebelum Enzo Fernández mencetak gol kemenangan:
1. Alexis Mac Allister menarik jersey
2. Julián Álvarez melanggar kaki Mohamed Salah
