Support the Egyptian national football team. 🇪🇬


Support what the Egyptian head coach said.
Quote: Of course, thank you. I am very happy. I thank all my players, as well as everyone on the coaching staff, the administrative and medical teams. Thanks be to God, today I am leading a coaching staff that is entirely local, and leading about 23 to 24 players—all of them local players playing in the Egyptian domestic league. We competed against all the highest-valued players in the world, and we fought them with local players. We fought hard, we were the better side, and we performed better than the defending champions.
We were superior in every aspect, but the result was influenced by certain factors—not external factors, but factors inside the pitch, as well as factors outside the pitch before the match. Clearly, the pressure that Argentina put on the referee before the match worked. They had previously complained about the referee, either because of France or not because of France, or for the French national team. I want to say that in life, not everything done in the right way goes smoothly; as long as you walk the right path, you will experience hardships. So we are on the right path, we worked hard, but we were harmed by external factors.
Of course, all those big foreign figures present felt nothing, because they simply didn't care. I have to say, we deserved to win. I don't want to say "bad luck" to ourselves. No, we showed honor here and left with dignity. But the result was different; this decisive result completely violated the principles of fair play advocated by FIFA. There was no respect today, nor fair play. There is no respect or fair play here today.
Today we were awarded a penalty, and the second ball should have been our penalty, but the referee didn't even bother to look at VAR. We scored a goal. When we scored the second goal, it was 2-0, but it was canceled in a strange way. And although it was said to be determined by VAR, in reality, there was no VAR. On the goal we conceded, a player was pulled in the 18-yard box, the referee did not call a foul, and the counterattack resulted in their goal, which should have been 2-1. But he didn't even deign to look at VAR, didn't deign to walk over to the side to check VAR. But when it came to canceling our goal with VAR, VAR appeared.
This life, this world, is still unfair, unfair. It's not just unfair in ordinary life; there is no fairness in football, no fairness in sports, none at all. I am not convinced. I am not convinced by this match at all. I am satisfied with my team's performance, but I am not convinced by everything that happened in the match. I will not say those polished, pretty words like "bad luck, good evaluation, a decent result for Argentina." No, no, I will absolutely not say that. I will say that we were indeed treated unfairly today, because of the events that occurred after the last match.
