To the extreme Egypt fans and Messi haters:

Please accept the result and stop the personal attacks against François Letexier. If you truly believe he was biased or corrupt, then provide credible evidence instead of spreading accusations. FIFA's Chairman of the Referees Committee, Pierluigi Collina, publicly defended the officiating team, stating that no one should question the integrity or independence of World Cup referees. He also warned that baseless accusations can put referees and their families at risk. It's perfectly fine to debate football decisions, but it's never acceptable to turn a referee into the target of abuse and conspiracy theories.

From a François Letexier fan.

''A professional profile of French elite referee François Letexier, featuring biography, career milestones, major matches and recent assignments.'' Yeah right, all of this website with your so called accomplishements just be to a corrupt and scummy referee. You, Gianni Infantino and the entirety of VAR have no integrity whatsoever and need to be removed immediately.
