🚨🗣 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." 🇪🇬🇦🇷
Pela primeira vez na história do Mundial, foi acionado o gesto "X", protocolo utilizado para denunciar um possível caso de racismo durante uma partida.
O sinal foi feito pelo técnico da seleção do Egito 🇪🇬, mas, mesmo assim, a arbitragem decidiu aplicar cartão amarelo ao treinador.
🚨 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.
