🚨 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.”
🚨🇪🇬 HOSSAM HASSAN BLASTS FIFA: “EGYPT WERE ROBBED IN BROAD DAYLIGHT”
🗣️ “I have been involved in football for decades as a player and coach, and I rarely speak about referees because mistakes are part of the game. But what happened against Argentina goes beyond a simple mistake.
Egypt earned everything they achieved on that pitch. They fought for every ball, defended with courage, attacked with belief and scored goals that should have changed the course of the match.
The biggest question is simple: why was every incident involving Egypt examined with a microscope, while incidents that benefited Argentina seemed to disappear without the same level of scrutiny?
Our disallowed goal completely changed the momentum of the game. The players celebrated, the fans celebrated, and then VAR searched for a reason to take it away. Yet when Egypt appealed for a penalty before Argentina’s winning goal, where was that same urgency?
FIFA always says football unites the world. Tonight millions of Egyptians feel football divided the world. The rules should be the same for everyone, whether you are Argentina, Brazil, France or Egypt.
We can accept defeat. What we cannot accept is feeling that the match was decided by decisions that will be debated for years.”

FIFA told Gillette to cover up its logo because it wasn’t an official World Cup sponsor.
Gillette responded by turning it into a giant blob of shaving foam. 😭🪒
Brilliant response from them… 🤣👏
