🚨 Roy Keane on Argentina vs. Egypt:
“Once is a mistake. Twice, maybe. But when it keeps happening, you have to start asking questions. An Argentina player appeared to slap an Egypt player, and the referee ignored it. There was a foul in the penalty area—at least go and review it.
That’s what VAR is there for. If you’re only reviewing incidents for one team, then what’s the point? It felt like Argentina started the game with an advantage before a ball was even kicked, and that’s the referee. That’s not how football should work.”
The robbery against Egypt was even worse than the one against Cape Verde.
It reached the point where the players and coach openly called out Messi and Argentina for the blatant corruption.
🚨🗣 Jamie Carragher on Egypt's Canceled goal by VAR:
🗣"I am telling you that, if that was against another team it would have been awarded as a goal"
"If that was in the premier league, Laliga or Serie A, it would have been a goal even after VAR review, there is a lot of inconsistency lately in this tournament"
🚨Mohammed Salah on the loss vs Argentina today:
🗣️: “It’s difficult to accept a result like this because I honestly don’t think football was the deciding factor tonight.
We gave everything we had, but when the officiating consistently go against you, it becomes impossible to compete.
I’m not looking for excuses, but everyone watching could see what happened. At this level, you expect fairness above all else. Instead, it felt like they already had their favorites. The entire world saw that today, and that’s all I’ll say.”
🚨 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.”
🚨🇪🇬 Las declaraciones del futbolista egipcio Zico le están dando la vuelta al mundo. Por fin alguien se atreve a denunciar lo que muchos consideran un arbitraje escandaloso.
“El árbitro fue injusto, es una opresión clara y evidente. Desperdició el esfuerzo de todo un país; desde el inicio estuvo en nuestra contra.
Es un PARTIDO AMAÑADO. Dios es mi juez y mi mejor defensor.
Disculpas a todo el pueblo de Egipto. No supimos cómo hacerlo… pero por la mano del árbitro.
El campeonato está amañado. Felicitaciones a Argentina por otra Copa del Mundo.”
Ojalá las demás selecciones que han sido acuchilladas en partidos contra Argentina, también alcen la voz. El futbol necesita transparencia y credibilidad.
Incredible Egyptian goal is disallowed because of a foul far away, then same situation a few minutes later and goal for Argentina not disallowed! No VAR, nothing? FIFA again looks like a corrupt joke, playing favorites for stars.
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME THEY USED VAR TO TAKE AWAY THE GOAL AFTER EGYPT TOOK THE BALL THE FULL LENGTH OF THE FIELD AND SCORED?!?!?
There's no way that makes any sense..
🚨🗣️ Zlatan Ibrahimović: "I don't understand how Argentina always gets favoured by FIFA, they clearly disallowed a legal goal of Egypt and they gave Argentina 8 Penalties in the last 12 World Cup games, I don't understand why the other countries are letting it happen".
