“Life is unfair.”This was the first thing that Hossam Hassan, Egypt’s fiery coach, told the media after his country’s devastating 3-2 loss to Argentina in the last 16. The legendary striker turned manager had been minutes away from orchestrating one of the greatest upsets in World Cup history. The Pharaohs were up 2-0 against the defending world champions. Then, late in the second half, Argentina staged an extraordinary comeback, scoring three goals in 13 minutes, bringing Egypt’s storybook run to a sudden end. For Egyptians, the match was an emotional rollercoaster, soaring with the promise of victory before plummeting into heartbreak and finally crashing into outrage over what many regarded as refereeing decisions that favored Argentina. During the match, Hassan raised his arms in a crossed ‘X’ gesture, Fifa’s official anti-discrimination symbol, and after the loss, accused the governing body of wanting Argentina to win.
