Ex-Egypt Keeper Calls World Cup Match 'Robbery'

Former Egyptian goalkeeper Ahmed Shobeir, who played for Al-Ahly (1980-96) and the national team (1984-96), penned a supportive letter to his son Mostafa after Egypt's painful Round of 16 exit to Argentina.

The elder Shobeir, now a sports commentator, described the match as 'un robo' (a robbery), suggesting Egypt was prejudiced by two decisive actions. Egypt's national team had complained about specific incidents during the game that they believed affected the outcome. rocore.sbs
