This is the "foul" that led to Egypt's first goal btw.
Because it didn't directly lead to a goal from the same play sequence, it's outside VAR's scope.
🚨| Yesterday, Egyptian player, Hamdy Fathy slapped Messi in the face and escaped a red card.😳🟥
They'd be calling for a RED card if the jerseys were reversed.😂
🚨 “As Long as Messi Is There, Nothing Changes” — Mbappé Reacts to Tournament Shocks
Reporter: Kylian, a lot of big nations are already out of the tournament. How are you feeling seeing that?
🗣️ Kylian Mbappé:“Of course, when big teams go out, people will say it increases your chances of winning. And yes, maybe on paper it becomes ‘easier’… but for me, it changes nothing.
As long as Lionel Messi is still in the competition, nothing is easy.
I can honestly say I’m in the best form of my life right now, playing at my peak… and yet, a 39-year-old is still leading the Golden Boot race. It’s crazy.
We were all watching him yesterday from our camp… and after that performance, you could feel something change. Guys just looked at each other like… ‘how do you even stop that?’
What he’s doing at 39 is not normal. There’s no way you should still be the best player in the world at that age… but he keeps proving it.
So no, I’m not happy seeing other teams go out. Because if Messi is still there… there’s nothing to celebrate.
For me, he’s the greatest of all time👑. And as long as he’s on the pitch, everything is still possible for him.”
Toni Kroos on the claims that Argentina robbed Egypt at the World Cup:
🗣️ "I don't understand why people always look for excuses after a result like this. Football is decided over 90 minutes, not by one moment. Egypt played an excellent first half, but after going 2–0 up they lost control of the game, and Argentina took advantage. That's what top teams do.
"People keep talking about the referee and VAR, but if you watch the match objectively, Argentina's comeback was built on their intensity, quality, and mentality. They believed until the final whistle, while Egypt couldn't maintain the same level they showed early on.
"You can't throw away a two-goal lead against one of the best teams in the world and then reduce everything to one decision. Football is much more complex than that.
"There will always be debates about refereeing, and that's normal. But saying the match was 'stolen' or that the tournament is being handed to Argentina is unfair to every player on the pitch. The players decide games with their performances, not conspiracy theories.
"The difficult thing after defeat is accepting that the opponent was better in the decisive moments. Argentina deserved credit for the way they responded under pressure, and Egypt should be proud of their performance while also learning from the mistakes that cost them. That's football."
Selamat ya fans Messi dan Argentina. Haters lu bertambah dari seluruh dunia. Bukan krn mereka fans Ronaldo. Stop yaa! Ga semua yg kritik dan ga dukung Argentina itu Fans CR. Itu krn ulah kalian sendiri.🤭 *izin 🙏🏻
"The VAR went back too far"
Meanwhile, In the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in Argentina vs Paraguay.
Messi's goal was taken away from a foul that happened light years ago & the match ended 1-1 instead of 2-1.
But now it's rigged using the same rule? Lmao
