Egyptians everywhere took to Twitter and other social media platforms to voice their angst and displeasure after Egypt lost their third and final group stage match to Saudi Arabia.
Some are even asking for the removal of Egypt head coach Héctor Cúper due to woeful tactics that cost Egypt severely
The pharaohs fell to another last minute winner as Salem Al-Dawsari volleyed in from close range in the 95th minute to give Saudi Arabia their third ever World Cup victory.
This was Egypt’s first appearance in a World Cup after a long absence of 28 years, they were tipped to impress this campaign as they had one of the most lethal strikers in the World in Mohamed Salah.
This match is so depressing #EGYKSA
