World Cup 2026

[Willo of Whiteley]

Egypt’s Manager has had a mad one saying they deserved to win.

They absolutely shat the bed for the last fifteen minutes, looked knackered, stopped tracking back and devoid of ideas.

They lost because they totally capitulated.

Egypt manager could be in a spot of bother after trying to activate the racism protocol erroneously. He was doing the crossed arms signal to the ref when his team were under pressure, trying to force a pause in the game. Then completely forgets about alleged abuse, not a good look for him.

I didn't realise he was doing it before the ref had gone over. I only saw him doing it when the ref was there.

Honestly, I thought he was declaring his fandom of a girl band with the gesture. I forgot that was the racism one until the end. Then I thought he was indicating that it was racism against all of Egypt.

I checked with the FIFA arbitration panel, all of whom are called Ptolemy, and they said that's nonsense.

Frustrating how they let the argies off the hook, but its down to them, not the ref. Some of the last minute defending was criminal. Painful to watch unfold.
