Egypt coach goes scorched earth on referees after heartbreaking World Cup loss to Argentina

Egypt coach Hossam Hassan called the refereeing “unfair” — and on Argentina’s side — after his team lost 3-2 in heartbreaking fashion on Tuesday in the Round of 16 of the World Cup.Despite Egypt going up 2-0 in the 59th minute, a controversially disallowed goal and then a controversial score for Argentina saw the South American team advance to the quarterfinals. “We haven’t seen respect or fair play,” Hassan told reporters after the match.“A penalty was ruled out, and a second [incident] that should have been checked for a penalty for us was not even checked by the VAR.

A second goal was remarkably, for whatever reason, disallowed.” “I want to put it in beautiful words and say, ‘Hard luck,’ but we have been treated unfairly, and it has been an injustice,” he added.What would have been Egypt’s second goal was disallowed due to a foul in the build-up, which happened over 20 seconds before the score and on the other side of the field. Egyptian players and coaches then thought star Mohamed Salah was fouled in Argentina’s box in the lead-up to Enzo Fernández’s game-winning goal in the 92nd minute. Instead, four yellow cards and one red were handed out to Egypt’s players and staff who were protesting. “There seems to have been pressure on the Argentinian side on the referee that has brought about this outcome,” Hassan said.Built for match days and everyday wear, this officially licensed USMNT tee brings classic national pride wherever you go.
