@weldon_ismyname: 🇪🇬🗣️ Egypt manager Hossam Hassan has openly criticized FIFA following his side's dramatic 3-2 Round of 16 defeat to Argentina national football team, claiming there was a perceived bias in favour of Lionel Messi and the defending world champions. 🇦🇷😳 Hassan pointed to several controversial moments during the match, including a disallowed Egyptian goal following a VAR review and other refereeing decisions that he believed went against his team. He suggested that key calls had a major impact on the outcome and questioned the overall fairness of the officiating. The Egyptian coach reportedly stated that there were interests in keeping Messi and Argentina in the tournament, comments that quickly sparked debate across the football world. However, no evidence has emerged to support claims of favoritism, corruption, or match manipulation by FIFA or match officials. The controversy has become one of the biggest talking points of the 2026 World Cup, with fans divided between those who believe Egypt were hard done by and those who view the decisions as part of football's fine margins.
