What a battle! Two proud champions, one young the other old, one east the other west, strong dislike for each other.... all the makings of a great squash game!
+PSA SQUASHTV Why have you forced customers in Europe to use Eurosport the app does not work and has ruined the experience based on reviews in the app store i am not the only one it seems other customers who watch other sports have stated similar issues. I am very angry that you guys have decided to do this my only option is to watch the replays absolute disgrace and if any one else is having issues i encourage that this is shared with Squash TV.
A game is a very tough situation for both the players. Passions and temperament are always high. So it is my sincere suggestion that we avoid judging for their meanness. They are both excellent players and I'm sure good friends off the court. We must enjoy the game.
Wow the referee got confused at one point around 20:00 he gave a stroke to matthew and then a stroke to elshorbagy and then a yes let. Then elshorbagy reviewed and the decision was changed to a no let. Matthew was clarifying with the referee on the decision because he was confused. Then the referee said that it was a no let to elshorbagy. Matthew replied “Then that means i get the point?” The referee was speechless for a second and then said handout 9 all. This was so funny the referee should be a bit more decisive
@Mathew - Agree with you about partial commentary. to be fair joey tries to be neutral but PJ is such a Nick fan! lot of respect for what Nick achieved but his behaviour on court is hardly role model...needs to learn from the women's players like Nicole or Raneem
+coldshot Matthew was saying that he hit Elshorbagy with his back-swing, if that was so the rally would have been considered a Let before the Stroke incident even occurred
Matthew should have been penalised for holding up the game, conduct warning etc, Mararella not doing a great job in stopping the chat from him. He didn't touch Shorbagy on the back swing at all.....bad news for sure.
22:43 can you just stop like that in a rally and get a let for no reason ? that was surely no let and therefore a stroke to Matthew in my opinion. That's not good for the sport if ive that understood right.
Near the beginning when Matthew tries to be snarky to ElShorbagy and also matey with the ref saying "that was quite an aggressive movement off the T wasn't it John" when the decision went against him, I literally said out loud "what a prick".
+TheHilarious91 Matthew played the ball, and then only after realising it was a poor shot (which resulted in a stroke) claimed that there was contact and looked for a let. If he had played a winner he wouldn't have been asking for a let!
decision at 20:00 ish was basically a stroke and a no let depending on which player was asking for the decision... but matthew just loves to make things even more complicated to make everyone else but him seem stupid haha :p
Matthew was trying to cheat here, so it's good that he lost this game..........nobody likes a cheat........especially when he's shown to be so by the video ref.
I kind of felt sad for Matthew when people were booing him. It isn't right, this is not basketball or soccer. This is squash. Yea I get that people are rooting for Elshorbagy but I felt that people were picking on Matthew and trying to put him down. I guess that is what people want to do.
Jonny Williams What type of person are you?? I get that you want another person to win but why hate so much, boo if you want to but throwing an egg is certainly child behaviour and as a teen, I am surprised such things can be done with this sport called squash. Shame on you.

What a fantastic match to watch....and squash isn't worthy of the Olympics!!! Clearly no contact from Shorbagy so a clear stroke....end of....matthew should have accepted the video review and moved on! You don't see players at Wimbledon arguing with the hawk eye do you lol
I am on Shorbagys side but Matthews was obviously confused he didn’t realise his let call was getting video reviewed so if he did see the video he would have accepted it. And I don’t see how one argument from 2 players can judge wether a sport should be in the olympics.
after watching this a couple of times while I'm not a fan of shorbagy and his shenanigans, matthew's persistence on the whether he hit shorbagy was just ridiculous, he clearly hadn't and was just wasting time. I actually sympathise with shorbagy there and think he had real reason to be angry.
What a battle! Two proud champions, one young the other old, one east the other west, strong dislike for each other.... all the makings of a great squash game!
How is nick matthew still walking after that painful collision at 5:50?! The racquet barely touched him lol
Extraordinary game to watch, possibly my favourite #fgf match so far
+Deceivednb Glad you enjoyed it!

1:10 When Lets look like Strokes. :-) I think even ElSho was pleasantly shocked he got a Let on that point.
The passion for the game and desire to win from both of these players is unbelievable. I don't think you see this enough in sport. What a game.
Talking about Nick Matthew being in the twilight of his career 5 years before he actually retired.
21:10 the referee says 1 review to matthew, when only Shortbagys been reviewing?
Duel MasterBlaze Old,but shorbagy successfully reviewed so didn’t lose it

SHIKHA MONDAL the video ref should’ve put up : “yes stroke”
@@TheJohnCooper 😅
Can you please upload the final game of the El Gouna 2015 final?
What a game!
Sad that this was a World Championship semi final and there's loads of spare seats.

What he said was unsportsmanlike 'haven't seen this video yet'
best game good match up
Nick Matthew, what a little girl..... like this in every game I have seen him in over the years.
Sailingbill1 ha ha, he’s actually a really nice bloke in real life.
Surely there needs to be some sort of repercussion for Shorbagy telling Matthew to 'shut up' ... ?
what does touching your opponent have anything to do with a stroke
+coldshot Matthew was saying that he hit Elshorbagy with his back-swing, if that was so the rally would have been considered a Let before the Stroke incident even occurred
0:47 guys why Matthew get 2 ? I can't understand
The ball bounced twice before elshorbagy hit it. Just unlucky
agressive as it can get
Where’s the full match?
to think the final with El Shorbagy vs Rami was even better.....
Hopefully I'll be like these guys one day
+Duel MasterBlaze how old are you?
16 at the moment xD
Still got time. start training
going to start taking part in tournaments, I'm like 20th in county or something
no need to brag
Matthew should have been penalised for holding up the game, conduct warning etc, Mararella not doing a great job in stopping the chat from him. He didn't touch Shorbagy on the back swing at all.....bad news for sure.
Elshorbagy too funny!!😂😂

That's not good for the sport if ive that understood right.
Colonel Walter E. Flirts i think ref thought that the ball is disturbing enough to have a let.
Near the beginning when Matthew tries to be snarky to ElShorbagy and also matey with the ref saying "that was quite an aggressive movement off the T wasn't it John" when the decision went against him, I literally said out loud "what a prick".
someone can explain the incident? i think is a yes let because matthew think there's possible contact and could be dangerous to play so he stopped?
+TheHilarious91 Matthew played the ball, and then only after realising it was a poor shot (which resulted in a stroke) claimed that there was contact and looked for a let. If he had played a winner he wouldn't have been asking for a let!
+Shane Lindsay exactly! well explained

If Mathew had a really soft hands...
shorbagy plays the game fair and square.
i agree 100%.
19:49 shut up man :)

getting so tasty between the beast and the wolf!!!
27:34 More decent players would offer a hand up, but not Nick the Prick Matthew. I'm so glad he's gone now, he was bad for the sport.
Why don't they take a leaf out of the top females?? About staying calm but then I guess the drama makes it more entertaining
Mathew lacks sportsmanship
and thats why this game is never gonna be olympic discipline.
Shorbagy is such a bad sport. Wow
Matthew is way worse
