Snippet:
The fallout from Egypt's 3-2 defeat to Argentina is deepening. The Egyptian Football Association has filed a formal complaint with Fifa calling for an investigation into referee Francois Letexier and his VAR team over what it described as serious mistakes, double standards and improper use of the video technology. The EFA has also asked Fifa to remove the officiating crew from the rest of the tournament.
