Egyptian Coach Calls World Cup Match Robbery

Former Egyptian goalkeeper Ahmed Shobeir wrote a letter to his son Mostafa after Egypt's World Cup elimination to Argentina, calling the match 'a robbery'.

Former Egyptian goalkeeper Ahmed Shobeir (65), who played for Al-Ahly (1980-96) and the national team (1984-96), wrote a heartfelt letter to his son Mostafa, the current Egyptian goalkeeper, following Egypt's painful 3-2 defeat to Argentina in the World Cup round of 16.

In his letter, Shobeir expressed support for his son while also claiming the match was 'a robbery.' Egypt had complained about two decisive actions during the game that they believed had prejudiced their chances of advancing to the quarterfinals. forestarrow.help
