Former Egyptian goalkeeper Ahmed Shobeir, 65, has written a supportive letter to his son Mostafa following Egypt's painful 3-2 defeat to Argentina in the World Cup round of 16. The former Al-Ahly and Egypt national team goalkeeper described the match as 'a robbery,' citing two decisive actions that Egypt claims prejudiced them.

Shobeir, who played professionally from 1980-1996 and for the national team from 1984-1996, now works as a sports commentator. His letter comes amid Egypt's complaints about controversial decisions that led to their elimination from the tournament. extract-html.com
