Egypt's Mostafa Ziko didn't hold back in his post-match interview, slamming the officiating as a deliberate act of injustice.
Egypt forward Mostafa Ziko blamed the referee for his side's 3-2 defeat by Argentina on Tuesday, saying the officiating was "Not fair" after the Pharaohs were eliminated from the 2026 World Cup in the last 16.
"Not fair, not fair. The referee was the reason for the defeat," Zico told a television programme after the match.
"He has single-handedly dismantled the hard work of an entire nation. It’s clear to me: this cup is being handed to Argentina"
"The referee's decisions were against us. I want to congratulate Argentina as they are going to win the World Cup," Zico said.
"We apologise to the Egyptian people because we had hoped to make them happy."
Ziko final words were: “The real victory is ours. May God help us. I congratulate Argentina and the referee on their victory !!!”

We don’t expect you to say anything different if your were good enough referees won’t have choice. Senegal 🇸🇳 lost a 2 nil lead to Belgium nobody said referees were partial but when it involved Messi, his team and progression suddenly referees and FIFA favored Messi bunch of fools and mediocre. Tha combination equals madness

Very cheap statement. Argentine was 2 goals down and scored 3 goals in 11 minutes. Was it FIFA that scored the 3 goals?? Be factual and stop being cheap

if it's a lone goal we'll have said you're making sense, you All slept off and conceded 3: solid goals from 2 goals down and you were blaming the officiating.

As a madridsta to be honest the referee did nothing wrong in this game? The game was officiated fairly. How on earth will you be leading 2:0 up and you still keep attacking? We all saw the goal that was disallowed, that Egypt player committed a clear foul that resulted to goal,

Really there was no need to delete the goal. Anyway, Argentina, Spain are the worst teams and I hope both of them will back home soon next round.
