00:00FIFA is corrupt. FIFA is biased. Egypt was robbed. That's been the mood on social media
00:06after Egypt's exit, with thousands accusing French referee François Le Taxier of making
00:12one controversial call after another. Some are calling it the most rigged game ever.
00:18Let's take a look.
00:38And others took aim at football star Lionel Messi. Memes exploded with some users sarcastically
00:45calling Messi FIFA's little princess. But the biggest talking point, the refereeing.
00:50Egyptian fans say the pharaohs were denied corners, denied penalties and denied crucial
00:5650-50 decisions all game long. Many point to the challenge on football icon Mohamed Salah
01:03insisting it should have been a penalty.
01:12Then there was this moment. An Egyptian player appears to be struck in the face. Yep, play goes on.
01:23Then came another flashpoint. Egypt thought they had doubled their lead, only for their second goal to
01:30be ruled out after the referee Vard checked a foul that happened back on Egypt's touchline.
01:36For Egyptian fans, that was the moment that changed everything. And as frustration boiled over,
01:42Egypt's captain Hossam Hassan was shown a yellow card. Whether you think the referee got it right
01:47or wrong, one thing is undeniable. The fallout has been massive. Fans are now questioning FIFA like
01:54never before, raising allegations of bias, discrimination, and even racism. For many,
02:01this isn't just about a match anymore. It's about power, politics, and who really holds the whistle.
02:09Now, before we go, here's one more look at the goal that many fans supporting Egypt believe
02:14should have counted. We'll leave you to it, and you can make up your own mind.
02:25So
