Hassan Blasts Refereeing After Egypt’s Heartbreaking 3-2 Loss to Argentina

Egypt coach Hossam Hassan refused to accept defeat after his side blew a 2-0 lead and crashed out of the World Cup with a 3-2 loss to Argentina. Hassan pointed to several controversial decisions, saying his team deserved a penalty and had a valid goal wrongly ruled out. “What happened to us wasn’t fair,” he told reporters. “We should have had a penalty and a goal that was disallowed.” Despite the collapse, the coach urged fans not to be too disheartened. He praised his largely home-based squad for matching a world-class opponent and warned that he would not watch any more games if officiating stayed so inconsistent.
