You are a despicable man who knows nothing about justice. Everyone has come to see your true nature. You have shown the world exactly who you are.
You are Messi's dog.
Damn whores like your mother, who gave birth to the most despicable and filthiest person in the world—a Jew, an infidel, a bribe-taker, and the son of a whore. God will take revenge on you, you son of a whore.
Un fair 💔💔
Egypt 💔💔
How much they pay for you 😉
Argantie and FIFA !!
"Egypt was facing Argentina, FIFA, the referee, and VAR."
"كانت مصر تواجه الأرجنتين، والفيفا، والحكم، وتقنية الفيديو المساعد للحكم (VAR)."

Un arbitre de football corrompu et preneur de pots-de-vin.
Messi's son plays for Argentina against Egypt.

A corrupt and bribe-taking football referee.
مصر لعبت ضد الأرجنتين...
وضد الحكم، وضد الـVAR، وضد شركات القمار وشركات الرعاية وضد الفيفا، وضد إسرائيل... وميسي فوقها!
خسروا النتيجة، لكن كسبوا احترام العالم. أبطال بكل معني الكلمة احسن أداء في تاريخ الكورة 🇪🇬Egypt played against Argentina... and against the referee, against VAR, against gambling companies and sponsors, against FIFA, against Israel... and Messi above all that!
They lost the match, but they earned the world's respect. Champions in every sense of the word. The best performance in the tournament.🇪🇬♥️
An unfair ruling that wronged Egypt for the sake of Infantino.💔
Corrupt rule, unjust rule, thieving rule
Maudit soit votre jugement injuste ! Vous êtes injustes et corrompus, courtisés par la FIFA.
Tout ça pour de l'argent
تباً لحكمك الظالم! أنت ظالم وفاسد، اخذت رشوه من الفيفا. كل ذلك من أجل المال.
