🚨 🎙️Ronaldo Nazário on the controversial refereeing in Argentina vs Egypt;
Interviewer: Ronaldo, what did you make of that dramatic comeback by Argentina today?
Ronaldo Nazário: Look, Argentina are a very strong team with real champions’ mentality. To come back from 2-0 down like that shows quality and character — no doubt about it. But if we’re being honest, the refereeing had a big influence on how this game unfolded.
If it was a different team playing against Egypt today, ask yourself if those decisions could have been different. Be honest with yourself and that’s all you need to know.
Let’s go through them one by one. First, Egypt score on the counter — Zico finishes it brilliantly after Salah’s work. They celebrate, the momentum is with them, and then VAR steps in and disallows it for a so-called foul in the build-up. A soft little challenge on Martínez, nothing clear and obvious. In most games, that goal stands. Tonight it didn’t.
Then the penalty awarded to Argentina. Marginal contact at best. You see those incidents week in, week out and they’re waved away. Here it was given. Messi missed it, okay, but the decision itself shifted the psychological balance when Egypt were in control.
And it wasn’t just those two. Throughout the match, the consistency wasn’t there — fouls called one way, advantage not played at key moments, little things that add up. Egypt were fighting for something historic. They went 2-0 up with real quality and heart. With fair, consistent officiating, this match could easily have gone either way — and without all the controversy afterwards.
Argentina showed they can win ugly, but football deserves better. The big calls shouldn’t feel like they’re protecting one side. Respect to Egypt — they played a great game and pushed the champions all the way.
Interviewer: Strong words…
Ronaldo Nazário: I say what I see. That’s it.
