Egypt’s coach, Hossam Hassan, made harsh criticisms of FIFA.
“I’m going to say what I think regardless of the consequences. This was clearly a manipulated match, and the whole world saw it.”
“And I want to say one more thing: if they want Argentina to win so badly, why do they invite everyone to come and participate?”
“The cup is directed towards Argentina… We have been treated unfairly today. We haven’t seen respect or fair play. A penalty was ruled out, was not even checked by VAR. A second goal was remarkably disallowed. There has not even been a VAR check when we have all seen the image of the [shirt] being pulled back.”
