Egyptian media personality Rizwan Sharbini offered women and married women amusing and direct advice on how to deal with their husbands after Egypt's national team defeat. During an episode of her show "Hi Wa Bas", she urged women to avoid any discussions or demands at such a time. Sharbini advised wives to let their husbands be after the match to prevent any irritability or tension that might arise from sporting sadness. Jokingly, she added: "Let the man live his sorrow today, because for men, football is a matter of great importance." She also advised against excessive talking, requests, or unnecessary calls in such an atmosphere, emphasizing that quietness and appreciation of the husband's psychological state can spare many domestic disputes. With a humorous tone, she also suggested moving to another room or lowering the TV's volume if necessary. Sharbini's remarks came after Egypt's national team lost to Senegal 0-1 in the semi-final of the Africa Cup of Nations, held at the Tangier Stadium. Previously, Sharbini had expressed her support for the Egyptian team, asking her audience to pray for the team to win, but the result was disappointing for Egyptian fans. Social media users reacted to Sharbini's statements; some felt they eased the sad atmosphere after the loss, while others saw them as reflecting a strong social connection between football and daily emotions within homes.
