'They wanted Messi to stay': Egypt coach Hassan accuses officials of favouring Argentina after 'undeserved' World Cup win
Egypt head coach Hossam Hassan accused FIFA and match officials of treating his side "unfairly" after their dramatic 3-2 FIFA World Cup Round of 16 defeat to Argentina. Furious over key refereeing decisions, Hassan suggested external influences helped keep Lionel Messi and the defending champions in the tournament, insisting Egypt had been "cheated" after surrendering a two-goal lead.
