I am with him on this, can't wait to see them against France in the final
I am disappointed if u have the same view. Maradona only has football playing skill, but he knows nothing about football rules and management. The referee favored Colombians more, otherwise they should have been reduced to 10 with the headbutt on Henderson in the first half of the match. They were too unruly till the referee started using mere yellow cards on them.

They can't meet in the final. They likelihood of meeting is in the semis and one of them must go home.

You are wrong, they can meet in the finals

Which kind outplay? did you watch the match at all, did you not notice the English players, bank on set pieces to win, which the Colombians did not allow to come their way, and more over luck was not on the side of the Colombians yesterday, because penalty is a game of luck.

As na only u watch d match why not comment without quoting me?
England had 6 corner kicks and Colombia only corner came in the 93rd minute thru which they equalised.
6-0 corners until last minute,is dat not being under pressure?
Just cos you prefer them to win got u blinded wit match facts.

Gisthoodng:
Argentina Legend, Diego Maradona has claimed that Colombia were Robbed in the World Cup round of 16 after England won via penalty shootout on Tuesday.

Harry Kane scored a second half penalty to put England 1-0 ahead only before in-form Yerry Mina to score a stoppage time equaliser for Colombia.

The match went to penalties after Extra-time and England's Jordan Pickford proved to be hero.

He saved Carlos Bacca's penalty before Eric Dier scored to secure England's place in the quarter-finals of the tournament.

But the match ended in controversy with Colombia players insisting Referee Mark Geiger favored England.

Earlier Radamel Falcao blamed Referee Mark Geiger for the defeat which he described "painful".

Now, Maradona has reacted to the controvesy.

“I saw a monumental theft,”he told reporters.

"I apologise to all the Colombian people, but they must know the players are not to blame.

“It is the man who decides who the referee is who is to blame. A man like that (Geiger) should not be put in charge of a game of that magnitude.

“With all due respect, Pierluigi Collina, as the man who designates the referees, he is very bad. He must apologise to the Colombian people.

“I told (FIFA president) Gianni Infantino that if I worked for FIFA, I would change everything. It has to be transparent. That’s why I didn’t go there.

“The referee will know a lot about baseball, but he has no idea about football. The Colombian players asked for VAR and he did not give it to them.

“Twice, the English threw themselves to the ground and he did not admonish them. This was theft.

“The penalty was not a foul.In fact, it was Kane’s fault.

“The referee was looking somewhere else and when he turned his head, Kane was on the floor.

“Kane used his arm to hook Sanchez and then threw himself down.

“I repeat, why didn’t the referee ask for the VAR? Colombia died standing. That’s why I applaud them.”

Outplayed them yet could only score via PK with James Rodriguez not on the pitch?

Shouldn't England be winning by at least 3:0 to prove that they actually outplayed Colombia?

There is nothing wrong with that penalty. It serves their carelessness good lesson how can you hold someone and not only that, you climb his back and he is running with you in your penalty yard and blame referee for your stupidity instead of the player that committed the fault? Maradona should have hide his ugly face in shame after Turkish referee rub Nigeria for them and could not struggle to pass France

Re: World Cup 2018: How England And Referee Robbed Colombia - Diego Maradona by DonFreshmoney(m): 7:59am On Jul 05, 2018
I will say Maradona is right 100%. I argued that with a friend of mine during the match day. That kane PK wasn't one at all. Kane was actually the one shoving and pushing sanchez before the cross came in. He then used his hands to hook on sanchez and backed the defender like it's sanchez pulling kane down to the floor. Unfortunately, the referee turned and saw kane going down to the floor. He should have at least checked the VAR when the players requested of him.


Not only that I saw the referee was partial to England, there was a late tackle on maguire in the second half which was Carlos Bacca first tackle of the match, but he was shown a yellow card. Immediately, Henderson did a highboot on Arias (late tackle) but wasn't shown a card. Where was the consistency? Thirdly, when lingard fell down in the penalty box, If the referee didn't issue a PK, he should have booked lingard for diving/simulation.

Re: World Cup 2018: How England And Referee Robbed Colombia - Diego Maradona by jidobaba(m): 8:51am On Jul 05, 2018
1. The Colombians were their own undoing. An entire two-thirds of the match was spent fighting and harrangueing the ref, who even after scattering series of yellow cards struggled to control the game.

2. The yellow cards took much of the adventure out of the Colombians game and England could press.

3. With the way soft penalties have been given at this WC, Kane's was a penalty all day. VAR would only have confirmed it and made the Colombian players more uncontrollable.

4. The build-up to the Mina equalizer in extra time was absolutely breathtaking, and the climax of a goal transported me. I was a Columbian in that moment. Reminds me why we watch football.

5. Finally I wanted England to win. Columbia's belligerent style cost football fans a potential 90 minute thriller and penalties wasn't going to reward them.

6. Kane wasn't the man of the match. Mina for me. Or maybe Falcao or even Barrios.
