Summary

Egypt coach Hossam Hassan has strongly criticized VAR decisions and alleged bias towards Lionel Messi after Egypt's heartbreaking 3-2 World Cup round-of-16 defeat to Argentina. Hassan claims his team was denied a clear penalty for a foul on Mohamed Salah, had a legitimate goal disallowed, and that Alexis Mac Allister committed an uncalled foul in the build-up to Argentina's stoppage-time winner. The coach expressed frustration over what he perceives as a lack of respect and fair play from officials and FIFA.
