2026-07-08 11:52:58
The Egyptian Football Association said it has asked FIFA to exclude the officials from the World Cup after Egypt’s 3-2 last-16 defeat by Argentina in Atlanta, according to Yahoo Sports. The EFA said it filed a complaint seeking an investigation into French referee Francois Letexier and alleged “double standards,” citing a VAR decision that ruled out a Mostafa Zico goal for a foul by Marwan Attia on Lisandro Martinez and a penalty appeal involving Mohamed Salah shortly before Argentina’s stoppage-time winner. Argentina captain Lionel Messi set up their first goal in the 79th minute and scored an 83rd-minute equaliser; Argentina play Switzerland in Kansas City on Saturday (02:00 BST, Sunday).
