This referee was unjust

This referee was unjust and corrupt; he officiated the Egypt-Argentina match and ended it in Argentina's favor.

This is a referee available for hire. Whoever pays him wins. No conscience, no honor, just a thief. Pay him and you win. I think he's a typical member of his family.

I hate you intensely. You are unjust and unfair. You are corrupt, dishonest, and vile. You are the most disgusting thing football has ever produced.
