🚨🗣️Jürgen Klopp: "The Egypt game? I don't know what the fuss is all about. It was a perfectly officiated game. I even spoke to Salah about it and he was embarrassed by the behaviour of his coach & teammates after the game. Messi changed the game & showed why he is the best ever"
Zlatan Ibrahimović: 🗣️🚨💣
“Today, more than ever, I’m convinced that the campaign after the Argentina vs. Egypt game wasn’t against Argentina—it was aimed specifically at Messi.
“Today we saw a clear handball in the build-up to Mbappé’s goal against Bono. The goal should have been disallowed, yet it stood and completely changed the course of the game. Still, we didn’t see the same outrage or the usual accusations.
“Where are the people who kept claiming Messi had FIFA’s full support and that everything was rigged in his favor? They’ve completely disappeared. Why? Because Messi wasn’t on the pitch.
“For them, it was never about refereeing or fairness—it was always about Messi. Their problem has always been Messi, not Argentina or any other national team.
“Cristiano Ronaldo’s fans are extremely emotional and simply don’t like Messi.”
African countries Weak mentality and inferiority complex was exposed again yesterday. Africans let’s stop the victim mentality and address the fact that Egypt had a 2-0 lead at 80 minutes and bottled it in 4 minutes. A Football match is played for 90 minutes not 75 minutes!
Same rule. Afcon 2024, Nigeria conceded a penalty in 89th minute after Osimhen thought he had doubled the lead. Exact scenario, Egypt lucky for it not to have been a foul in the box.
It’s easy to shout rigged, but this is the literal rule. Foul in build up invalidates a goal.
"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
🚨𝗠𝗢𝗛𝗔𝗠𝗘𝗗 𝗦𝗔𝗟𝗔𝗛:
🗣️ “I know my teammates are frustrated by the loss. It is a hard one to take, especially after being 2-0 up.”
🗣️ “Sometimes, in the heat of the moment, we say things we don’t truly mean. That is the case with Ziko. He respects Messi and never intended any disrespect toward Messi or FIFA.”
🗣️ “We believe the game was fair. The referee got most decisions right. Football is a human game, and errors can happen, but there was no robbery.”
🗣️ “I lost the ball in Argentina’s box before their third goal. That was my mistake, and I take responsibility. Had I kept my composure, maybe we could have taken the game to extra time.”
🗣️ “I am proud of my teammates. They gave everything throughout the tournament and represented Egypt with pride.”
🗣️ “Good luck to Messi and Argentina. I hope the GOAT lifts the World Cup once again.”
