The Egyptian Football ***** ociation is seeking redress after being disgusted by the refereeing in Tuesday's dramatic 3-2 World Cup last-16 defeat against Argentina.
The world champions came back from 2-0 down after 79 minutes to win, but Egypt felt they should have been 3-0 up after a video review disallowed a goal from Zico for a minor foul.
The Pharaohs also believe they had a strong penalty claim just before Enzo Fernandez's injury-time winner.
Association president Hany Abo Rida told reporters in the team hotel that he had filed a complaint with FIFA against French referee François Letexier and his ***** istants. He called for the refereeing team to be excluded from the rest of the tournament.
The Egyptians want an investigation into the officials.
