🚨🚨 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”.
أسطورة منتخب إنجلترا «آلان شيرار» تعليقا على الأخطاء التحكيمية ضد المنتخب خلال مواجهة الأرجنتين: «عندما يعود الحكم لـ VAR في هدف مصر ويُلغيه بسبب إعاقة في بداية اللعبة، ولا يعود للـ VAR في هدف فوز الأرجنتين رغم وجود إعاقتين في بداية اللعبة، إذا فنحن نشاهد مسرحية وليست مباراة كرة قدم، إذا كان الفيفا يرغب في إهداء كأس العالم لميسي فليعطيه اللقب من الآن ويذهب لاعبو باقي المنتخبات إلى منازلهم»
🚨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.”
