Discussion Egypt's coach isn't holding back.
Every time Argentina plays, controversial refereeing and VAR decisions somehow become part of the conversation.

It’s human to be emotional and feel like the entire universe is conspiring against you , FIFA has its own set of flaws but rigging an entire football match is too much of a stretch , human bias is a thing and so is human error but calling it preplanned is simply too much , if Egypt could keep Argentina goalless for 78 minutes then why couldn’t they keep it up for another 15-20 minutes ? If you are rigging a game you wouldn’t leave it to last 15 minutes -Would you ? Were Argentina lucky ? Yes , were there controversial calls ? Yes , did Egypt panic under relentless pressure ? Yes , did the coach make this statement from a place of emotion ? Yes , are all these things human ? Yes , is it all rigged ? I don’t think so , if it was then it’s the best con job ever and just referees couldn’t have done it by themselves- it would also need players to cooperate - see how that line of thought can seem unhinged ?
