SOME DIGNITY PLEASE §
Protecting TV ratings and the spectacle at the expense of sporting integrity. That is the summary of tonight's officiating."
"حماية المشاهدات التلفزيونية والاستعراض على حساب نزاهة الرياضة.. هذا هو ملخص التحكيم الليلة."

"اللقطة كانت واضحة كالشمس، لم يكن هناك أي شيء يستدعي الصافرة. حُرمنا من هدف تاريخي."
"قرار متحيز كسر حلم شعب كامل. تم استخدام تقنية الفيديو كسلاح لتغيير سيناريو المباراة لصالح طرف معين."
Egypt was penalized just for being physically competitive. Every single 50/50 challenge was blown in favor of the attackers."
It was as clear as day—there was absolutely nothing in that challenge. We were robbed of a historic goal."!!
Why does VAR only intervene to disallow Egyptian goals but turns a blind eye to fouls committed by Argentinian defenders?"
