Egypt coach: I will not watch another minute of the World Cup

Egypt coach Hossam Hassan has reacted angrily after the defeat to Argentina at the World Cup, claiming that his team was treated unfairly.

In his post-match statement, Hassan said that Egypt had suffered injustice and that the result was influenced by “internal” and “external” factors.

“Why is there no fairness in sport? In football? I don’t want to try to put it in pretty words. We were wronged today. We suffered injustice,” he said.

The Egyptian coach also revealed that his country’s federation had objected to the selection of French referee François Letexier for this match.

“We had objected to the selection of such a referee,” Hassan said.

He added that he would not watch any more matches in the tournament, as a form of protest against what he described as a lack of fairness.

“This is my way of speaking out and raising my voice. I will not watch a single minute of the remainder of this World Cup,” the Egypt coach stressed.
