Egypt coach has unloaded on the whole tournament. Explaining it doesn't do it justice but he basically finished it with "... if they just wanted Argentina to win, why did they invite the rest of us to participate?"

He might find himself in a bit of trouble I dare say, but well said!

**** FIFA they've shown they're corrupt.
Whoever reversed the red card suspension should've resigned along with making that decision

Personally I'm always of the opinion that while the refs can be blamed for isolated calls, teams will generally be able to look back and go yeah we ****ed it there, there and there.
Refs will obviously always influence the game in either direction, but I've always played with the temperament that ultimately if you make the right decisions and take your opportunities, the ref is irrelevant. Egypt were 2-0 up, they had every reason to ice the game but didn't for whatever reason. The ref didn't throw the ball in the net for Argentina 3 times.
