FIFA unfair, no respect ❌❌👎

This refereeing was unfair and racist, and he should be removed from officiating altogether. He has absolutely no sense, I swear to God. He's like a donkey, truly.

Bonjour, arbitre, fils de pute ! Alors maintenant tu arbitres pour Messi ? Va te faire foutre, toi et ton Messi ! Bande de connards ! Ronaldo est votre patron, fils de putes ! Va te faire foutre, Infantino ! Et toi aussi, arbitre de merde, va te faire foutre !

Nique ta mère

Votre prestation n'était pas de l'incompétence, c'était de la corruption pure et simple. Vous vous êtes comporté comme un agent vendu, un traître à l'éthique du sport, envoyé pour saboter les efforts de l'Égypte. Un arbitre digne de ce nom reste neutre, mais vous, vous avez choisi votre camp de manière honteuse. Vous êtes une marionnette et un corrompu qui n'a pas sa place dans le football.

Tu n'es pas un arbitre ; tu es un terroriste. Tu as couvert ta mère de honte. Va en enfer, espèce de voleur.
