#广场预测世界杯赢40000U After Argentina’s 3-2 comeback against Egypt, the Argentina FA’s email appears to have been targeted by Egyptian hackers. Multiple beat reporters received abnormal emails, which included: “Argentina doesn’t deserve this win, the referee is corrupt.”



The Argentina FA said recently that its official association email may have been hacked. After the match, an Argentina beat reporter received an email from an official Argentina FA account criticizing the referee’s decisions in the Argentina vs. Egypt match.

The incident was triggered by the Round of 16 match at this World Cup, in which Argentina came back to beat Egypt 3-2. The refereeing decisions of the match’s French head referee, François Letexier, sparked strong dissatisfaction from the Egyptian side.

Egypt’s FA filed an appeal with FIFA, requesting the annulment of François Letexier and his refereeing team’s authorization to officiate at this World Cup, alleging referee bias toward Argentina.

After the match, François Letexier’s personal social media accounts were surrounded by large numbers of fans, and he ultimately chose to close the accounts to avoid online abuse.

On July 10, FIFA Chief Referee Officer Pierluigi Collina publicly responded: the two key decisions in this match—disallowing Egypt’s goal and the challenge before Argentina’s winning goal—both complied with the rules and were in line with officiating regulations. Egypt’s FA appeal would not change the match result, and the outcome of Argentina advancing to the quarterfinals cannot be altered.

About 48 hours after that match ended, multiple Argentina beat reporters received abnormal emails from an official Argentina FA account. The content fully contradicted the FA’s official position. The emails praised Egypt’s performance on the pitch and stated, “Argentina doesn’t deserve this win,” adding that the match result was “caused by corrupt referee decisions.”

According to internal sources from the Argentina FA, these emails were not sent by FA staff. Behind the scenes, it was carried out by a group of Egyptian hackers. The Argentina FA issued an official statement on the incident: “We hereby inform the public that we have monitored an email that appears to have been sent from the association’s official account. This email was not written by any of our staff, nor was it granted any internal authorization.” The FA also reminded the public: “If you receive any abnormal emails from our accounts in the near future, please do not believe them—especially messages that include links, attachments, or request personal information.” The Argentina FA added: “There is a possibility that our account has been illegally compromised. We are currently conducting a full investigation into the entire matter and implementing the relevant security measures.”

As of now, Egypt’s FA has not issued an official response to the hacking incident. The act has been regarded by the public as an unofficial, non-legally sanctioned behavior by extremist football fans.

#广场预测世界杯赢40000U After Argentina staged a 3-2 comeback win over Egypt, the Argentina Football Association’s email inbox is suspected to have been hacked. Several traveling reporters received abnormal emails, with content including “Argentina doesn’t deserve to win this game, the referee is corrupt.”

The Argentina FA recently disclosed that the association’s official email inbox may have been attacked by hackers. After the match, some Argentina beat reporters received emails allegedly sent from the Argentina FA’s official account, and the message was actually criticizing the referee’s decisions in the Argentina vs. Egypt match.

The incident was triggered by this World Cup’s Round of 16 match, in which Argentina came back to beat Egypt 3-2. The Egyptian side expressed strong anger over the calls made by the match’s French head referee, François Letexier.

Egypt’s FA filed an appeal with FIFA, requesting that the French head referee François Letexier and his officiating team be disqualified from officiating at this World Cup. It alleged that the referee showed favoritism toward Argentina.

After the match, François Letexier’s personal social media account was surrounded and attacked by large numbers of fans. In the end, he chose to shut down the account to avoid online abuse.

On July 10, FIFA Chief Refereeing Officer Pierluigi Collina publicly responded: the two key decisions in this match (the disallowed Egyptian team’s goal, and the challenge before Argentina’s winning goal) both complied with the rules and were properly enforced. Egypt’s FA appeal would not change the match result, and Argentina’s advancement to the quarterfinals cannot be altered.

About 48 hours after that game ended, multiple Argentina beat reporters received abnormal emails allegedly from the Argentina FA’s official account. The content was completely contrary to the FA’s official position. The emails praised Egypt’s performance on the pitch and stated, “Argentina doesn’t deserve to win this match,” while claiming the result was caused by “corrupt referee decisions.”

According to information from within the Argentina FA, the batch of emails was not sent by association staff. The operation was carried out behind the scenes by a group of hackers of Egyptian nationality. The Argentina FA released an official statement: “We hereby inform the public that we have monitored an email that appears to have been sent from the association’s official account. This email was not written by our staff and has not been authorized internally.” The FA also reminded the public: “If you receive an abnormal email from our account in the near future, please do not believe it—especially messages that include links, attachments, or request personal information.” The Argentina FA added: “There is a possibility that our account has been illegally accessed. We are currently conducting a comprehensive investigation into the whole matter and implementing relevant security measures.”

So far, Egypt’s FA has not issued an official response to the hacking incident. The act has been regarded by the outside world as an unofficial, non-governmental form of behavior by extreme football fans.
