Egypt head coach Hossam Hassan criticizes officiating and says the World Cup is “directed towards Argentina” after Egypt lose 3-2 to Argentina in the last 16. Multiple outlets report that Hassan calls the refereeing “unfair” following a match in which Argentina overturn a 2-0 deficit to win 3-2. The coach’s comments center on disputed decisions during the game, with Hassan arguing that the overall competition is biased in Argentina’s favour. The reports describe the defeat as dramatic and note that Egypt’s last-16 exit follows their late collapse after leading early. The sources present the statements as allegations made by Hassan in the aftermath of the match, without providing additional confirmation of wrongdoing. Argentina’s comeback and the controversy surrounding officiating are treated as the main points of agreement across coverage, alongside Hassan’s claim about the tournament being “directed towards Argentina.”
