Argentina’s fatal goal sparks the Egyptian revolution against the government
Ibrahim Hassan, the manager of the Egyptian national team, revealed the secret of his brother Hossam Hassan, the coach of the Pharaohs, yesterday, Tuesday, in the last minutes of the match against Argentina, which ended with a tango victory (3-2) in the final of the World Cup 2026.
The Egyptian side took the lead with two goals from Yasser Ibrahim and Mustafa Zico, while the Argentine side managed to overturn the result in the final minutes through Christian Romero, Lionel Messi and then Enzo Fernandez, who scored the winning goal in the second minute, sending Tango into the quarter-finals.
After Argentina’s third goal, the players and staff of the “Pharaohs” retaliated against the French referee, Francois Lettx, on the pretext of a foul on behalf of the Egyptian national team at the beginning of the attack. Tensions rose on the bench as the final whistle approached as the referee showed a member of Egypt’s technical staff a yellow card in the 98th minute.While Hossam Hasan signaled the “X” to the referee, a shot that opened the way for questions..
The reference is sometimes used to report incidents of alleged racial violence, but it is unclear whether Hossam Hasan intended it to be used in this particular sense.
In a phone conversation with MBC Misr 2, Ibrahim Hassan explained the secret behind Hossam’s gesture, saying: “There are current FIFA directives in the dressing rooms that this gesture is used when you want to express that you are under pressure.”

“Hossam Hasan confused the referee with this gesture, and he went to him, threatened and warned him, and he wanted to send him off the field.”
He continued. “The referee didn’t know how to handle Hossam Hasan. Should he follow FIFA’s instructions, especially since it’s an acceptable signal, or let the hatred inside him go and send him off?”
He continued his statements. “There was a film before the game where Argentina objected to the French referee, but we ended up paying the price and we don’t know if it was by order or the referee’s wish.”
He noted: “We didn’t lose on the pitch, we don’t have a problem when we lose on the pitch, but we played and scored 3 goals (including one that was disallowed).
“The days proved that the Egyptian national team can face any opponent and Hossam always tells the players before the friendly match in Brazil. “Believe in yourself.”
