Argentina came back from two goals down to beat Egypt in the World Cup round of 16 on Tuesday, and the match sparked plenty of controversy, especially around a disallowed goal scored by Egypt winger Mostafa Zico.

There was plenty of reaction from the Egypt camp, including from Zico himself.

“It’s clear that this tournament has been fixed.”
