Egypt FA Blasts VAR After Heartbreaking Argentina Loss
Egypt's football association has formally criticised VAR decisions after their dramatic 3-2 defeat to Argentina, saying several calls directly affected the outcome.
Egypt's Football Association has gone public with its anger following the national team's exit from the World Cup, according to Reuters. The EFA stated that several key incidents during the loss to Argentina raised serious concerns about the consistency and fairness of officiating.
The association stopped short of directing its criticism at any individual but made clear that the decisions, in its view, had a direct bearing on the final result. The statement adds a layer of controversy to what was already a gripping Round of 16 encounter in Atlanta.
Argentina progressed 3-2 in a late comeback, but for Egyptian supporters and officials alike, the officiating questions now loom as large as the scoreline itself.
