Written by Ziad Abdel Fattah:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Egyptian Football Association launched an attack on Arbitration awards<\/a> which accompanied the national team's match against Argentina in the Round of 16 of the World Cup, criticizing what he described as poor application of the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) technology, and affirming that he will not remain silent about the mistakes that, in his words, affected the outcome of the match.<\/p>\n

The Egyptian national team bid farewell to the tournament after a dramatic 3-2 loss to Argentina, despite leading by two goals to nil until the 79th minute. The defending champions then managed to score three consecutive goals, including the winning goal in the final moments.<\/p>\n

The refereeing decisions affected the course of the match.<\/h2>\n

The Egyptian Football Association said in a statement published on its official platforms that a number of refereeing decisions during the match raised \u201cserious concerns\u201d about the consistency and fairness of the application of video technology, noting that these decisions had a direct impact on the course and outcome of the match.<\/p>\n

The statement added that many football experts and analysts, locally and internationally, pointed to controversial refereeing decisions, which, according to the federation, confirms the necessity of adhering to the highest standards of integrity and transparency in managing matches of a tournament the size of the World Cup.<\/p>\n

The most controversial incidents included the disallowance of a goal scored by Mostafa Ziko in the 62nd minute, which would have given Egypt a three-goal lead. Video assistant referee (VAR) review showed a foul at the start of the attack, a decision that sparked widespread objections.<\/p>\n

The Egyptian national team also protested the non-awarding of a penalty in the final minutes after Hamdi Fathi fell inside the penalty area, before Argentina managed to score the winning goal in the 92nd minute.<\/p>\n

Following the match, technical director Hossam Hassan and national team captain Mohamed Salah expressed their dissatisfaction with the refereeing decisions, while a number of former English football stars joined the wave of criticism.<\/p>\n

Former England goalkeeper Rob Green, during his analysis of the match on \u201cFox\u201d network, said that the situation for which Mostafa Zico's goal was disallowed does not fall under the categories that require VAR intervention, considering that reviewing the play a significant distance after the start of the attack raises question marks.<\/p>\n

In turn, former England captain Alan Shearer criticized the decision-making process, emphasizing that the standard for calling fouls should be uniform. Meanwhile, Ian Wright believed that Mohamed Salah was fouled in a way that warranted a penalty, and that not calling it was inconsistent with the decision to disallow Egypt's goal.<\/p>\n

As for Jamie Carragher, the former Liverpool defender, he expressed his doubts about the consistency of VAR application, considering that the disallowed goal would have been counted if the same situation had occurred in major leagues like the English, Spanish, or Italian leagues.<\/p>\n

According to media reports, Hany Abu Rida, head of the Egyptian Football Association, filed a formal complaint against French referee St\u00e9phane Lannoy and his officiating crew, protesting the decisions made during the match. FIFA has not yet issued an official comment.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
