Egypt coach screaming at Lionel Scaloni's face while Scaloni completely ignoring him.

Since all eyes are on the Egyptian team today, it’s worth reminding the world that Christians are practically banned from playing top level football in Egypt. Despite being 10% of the population, only two Christians have played the national team in the past 36 years. Not a single one has played for Egypt since 2003. The former Ajax striker Mido said in 2018 that the discrimination is obvious and that only 5 Christians have ever plaid in Egypt’s top clubs. He suggested a 10% quota for Copts should be introduced in all clubs to end the discrimination. Ironically, the Egyptian coach made the new “X for racism-sign” recently introduced by FIFA during today’s game to signal to the referee that the Egyptian team was experiencing racism. But religious discrimination has clearly never bothered him. FIFA has also been unwilling to do anything about the longstanding issue of severe underrepresentation and systemic discrimination against Christians at youth, club and national levels in Egypt. Christians are effectively excluded in practice, with virtually none reaching the senior national team or top domestic clubs in recent decades. The exception is Hany Ramzy. The a Christian defender who earned 120+ caps for Egypt in the 1990s and early 2000s. Estimates suggest that fewer than a dozen Copts have played at the highest domestic level in the last 50+ years. Multiple independent reports, player testimonies and comments from figures like Coptic Pope Tawadros II and Muslim former player Ahmed Hossam (“Mido”) have highlighted the discrimination: - Youth trials and club signings where Christian names lead to rejection or pressure to change to a Muslim-sounding name. - Stories of players hiding tattoos (the common Coptic cross on the wrist) or identity in their efforts to advance. - Similar underrepresentation is also noticeable in other sports (zero Copts in Egypt’s 2016 Rio Olympics delegation of 122 athletes) The Egyptian coach made a big point of flying the Palestinian flag in the World Cup and keeps repeating “Free Palestine.” Yet, he has never spoken about the fact that Egypt didn’t give sovereignty to the Palestinians in Gaza when Egypt was occupying it 1948-1967. Likewise, while he won’t stop claiming that there is discrimination of Muslims in Israel, he refuses to acknowledge the religious discrimination in Egyptian football.

#Missi asks Egypt's coach: «What's wrong with you?»

My goodness… these guys are posing a bad image for Egyptian football

🚨 Cristiano Ronaldo: “I’ve won 𝐓𝐇𝐑𝐄𝐄 𝐓𝐈𝐓𝐋𝐄𝐒 with Portugal”. 🏆 “Before Cristiano, 𝐏𝐎𝐑𝐓𝐔𝐆𝐀𝐋 𝐇𝐀𝐃 𝐖𝐎𝐍 𝐍𝐎𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐆!” 🚨 𝐋𝐄𝐎 𝐌𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐈 “The truth is that I am deeply 𝐆𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐅𝐔𝐋 to my teammates and I am very happy to compete alongside them” 🫂✨ “Thanks to this team and these teammates, I can be at another World Cup today and I can keep competing” 🥹

🚨 BREAKING: ​Egypt Head Coach Hossam Hassan made FIFA's "no to racism" gesture during the match. Following this move, the referee showed him a card. ​What will be the consequences of this gesture?

The Egyptian coach spat at fans while yelling "Fuck you" and then went up to a FIFA photographer and tried to fight him. He should be banned from all future FIFA events.

إنزو كان يحتفل بهدفه الثالث مع اللاعبين، ولما وصل ميسي تركهم وراح له 🥹🫂

11 minutes added time in place of 7. Rigged for who???? Cry hard because Messi owned and your idol washed 😭😭😭😹😹

How did Egypt actually get away with all of this? 🤯

No había podido ver está jugada en la cual Egipto reclamaba penal desde este ángulo. Acá se nota clarísimo que es el jugador egipcio el que choca el pie del jugador Argentino, probablemente con la intención de dejarse caer al perder la pelota. NO HAY FALTA!

El ego mata al hombre

How much did that company offer you to say this?

Flirting Vs Harassment

Those who saw the match would agree that ref was fair in this match Check how this egypt player is dragging and kicking Argentina 🇦🇷 player Fanclubs before saying match was rigged watch this and than you can cry

Egypt’s goal was disallowed. #argentina #egypt #worldcup #penalty #worldcup2026

This brother explaining something that should be common sense is truly concerning. It feels like he’s teaching children the basics.

@dubsonlysports Have Egyptians always been sore losers?

“It Was Rigged” - 🤡…

They're all acting like this never happened in the same match btw, Hypocrites!
