#预测世界杯阿根廷VS埃及 The topic "Argentina Dirty" trended to number one on hot search, with Egypt's head coach angrily saying "They want Messi to stay," and the controversial referee's social media account for that match has been closed!
On the morning of July 8, the topic "Argentina Dirty" trended to number one on hot search.
On July 8 Beijing time, in the round of 16 of the 2026 FIFA World Cup co-hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico, the Argentina team scored three consecutive goals after trailing by two, coming back to win 3-2 against Egypt and advancing to the quarterfinals.
Due to controversial calls during the match, the personal social media account of the referee for the Argentina-Egypt clash, Frenchman François Letexier, received a flood of criticism from Egyptian fans and neutral fans. The account is now closed, and the page cannot be opened. Before it was closed, his comments section had received nearly 40,000 messages.
According to previous reports, Egypt's head coach Hossam Hassan stated at the post-match press conference that a goal disallowed when the team was leading 1-0 was controversial, and there was also a potential penalty opportunity in stoppage time that was not awarded.
"We did not see respect and fair play," Hassan said. "A penalty that should have been ours was not reviewed, and another goal was also disallowed. I cannot understand these decisions."
Hassan also questioned the officiating performance of referee Letexier, believing that some key decisions affected the match result.
"It seems that Argentina put pressure on the referee, which ultimately led to this outcome," Hassan said. "Life is not always fair, the world is not always fair, but why can't we see fairness in sports? I cannot accept the process and result of this match."
Hassan even stated that he "will never watch the World Cup again, because this tournament has no fairness at all."
On the morning of July 8, the topic “Argentina Dirty” topped the trending list.
On July 8 Beijing time, in the Round of 16 of the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the US, Canada, and Mexico, Argentina came back from two goals down to score three straight, defeating Egypt 3-2 and advancing to the quarterfinals.
Because of controversial decisions during the match, the personal social media accounts of the match’s main referee for the Argentina vs. Egypt showdown—Frenchman François Letexier—received a large volume of criticism from Egypt fans and neutral fans. The accounts have now been closed, and the homepages cannot be accessed. Before the shutdown, his comment section had received nearly 40,000 comments.
According to earlier reports, Egypt’s head coach Hossam Hassan said at the post-match press conference that there was controversy over a goal that was cancelled when the team led 1-0, and that an alleged penalty opportunity was also not awarded during stoppage time.
“We didn’t see respect and fair play,” Hassan said. “A penalty that should have belonged to us wasn’t checked, and another goal was disallowed. I can’t understand these calls.”
Hassan also questioned Letexier’s officiating performance, saying that some key decisions affected the outcome of the match.
“It seems the Argentina side put pressure on the referee, and that’s why this kind of result happened in the end,” Hassan said. “Life isn’t always fair, and the world isn’t always fair, but why can’t sports show fairness, too? I can’t accept the process and the result of this match.”
Hassan even said that he “will never watch the World Cup again, because there’s no fairness in this tournament at all.”
