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.
00:19I'll be honest, FIFA's rigged as s**t.
00:22I just watched on that TV robbery. Robbery.
00:26We just witnessed the biggest robbery in World Cup history.
00:29To all the Egyptian people, you want in my heart, s**t is rigged.
00:33At this point, there needs to be an investigation into FIFA immediately.
00:38And others took aim at football star Lionel Messi.
00:42Memes exploded with some users sarcastically calling Messi FIFA's little princess.
00:47But the biggest talking point? The refereeing.
00:50Egyptian fans say the pharaohs were denied corners, denied penalties,
00:55and denied crucial 50-50 decisions all game long.
00:59Many point to the challenge on football icon Mohamed Salah insisting it should have been a penalty.
01:05Then there was this moment. An Egyptian player appears to be struck in the face.
01:10Yep, play goes on.
01:11Then came another flashpoint.
01:13Egypt thought they had doubled their lead only for their second goal to be ruled out after the referee
01:19bar checked a foul that happened back on Egypt's touchline.
01:23For Egyptian fans, that was the moment that changed everything.
01:27And as frustration boiled over, Egypt's captain Hossam Hassan was shown a yellow card.
01:33Whether you think the referee got it right or wrong, one thing is undeniable.
01:38The fallout has been massive. Fans are now questioning FIFA like never before.
01:43Raising allegations of bias, discrimination, and even racism.
01:48For many, this isn't just about a match anymore.
01:51It's about power, politics, and who really holds the whistle.
