Report: Feyzan Lakhani. Egypt filed an official complaint with FIFA for the referees of the pre-quarter final match with Argentina.
The Egyptian Football Federation asked FIFA to remove French referee Francois Latexier and others from the World Cup.
The Egyptian Football Federation says the referee and VAR made serious mistakes and adopted a double standard, forcing Egypt out of the World Cup.
According to the Egyptian Football Federation, FIFA has requested an investigation against the referees and VAR officials and expulsion from the World Cup.
The Egyptian Football Federation claimed that the referees have repeatedly avoided watching the video and made clearly wrong decisions, the Egyptian team has been singled out and FIFA should fully investigate this matter.
It is worth mentioning that after yesterday’s controversial decisions in the FIFA World Cup quarter-final match against Argentina, many Egyptian players and coaches were upset with the referees and social media users attacked the referees because of the controversial decisions.
In the second half of the match against Argentina, Egypt was denied a goal by VAR. The referee disallowed the goal based on a foul 100 meters away, which the Egyptian team strongly contested.
In the last moments of the game, the star and captain of Egypt Mohamed Salah and the Argentinian player faced each other at one point, but at this time the Argentinian player grabbed Mohamed Salah and knocked him down. The referee did not make a mistake on this action of the Argentinian player. This arbitrator’s decision was strongly criticized by users on social media.
On the other hand, the players of Egypt and Argentina faced each other, but here the players of Argentina beat the player of Egypt and came forward. Consumers walked out after the referee fouled Argentina’s players and denied Egypt a penalty.
The head of the Egyptian team, Hussam Hasen, strongly disagreed with some of the referee’s decisions during the match, and after that the referee gave him a yellow card.
Then, Argentina scored 3 goals in the second half and defeated Egypt 2-3 and entered the final.
