In Egypt, the anger is not calming down, the 3-2 loss against Argentina, accompanied by refereeing controversies, caused anger among the leaders of the Egyptian Football Federation, who sent a note of protest to FIFA.
Hany Abo Rida, the president of the Federation, defined the alleged mistakes of referee Letexier as scandalous and spoke of double standards in the management of refereeing situations. The reference is clear; the goal disallowed against Zico for a foul on Lisandro Martinez and the failure to award a foul to Salah for a similar touch according to the Egyptians.
Furthermore, the 'Pharaohs' have also expressed their dissatisfaction in the match report on their official website, where they highlighted all the mistakes that have raised doubts.
The Egyptians, in their protest note to FIFA, demand an investigation into the refereeing errors, the expulsion of Letexier and his refereeing class from the tournament, and formal respect for the rules for their equal application. The letter was sent through official channels between football institutions. Immediately after the match, coach Hassan and striker Ziko expressed their indignation and disappointment at the outcome of a match that they seemed to have in their hands and that slipped out of their hands.
