So are u saying a player can score with dia hands... If the ball touches the head before the hand then into the net

Cos u ar talkin like mumu!

Africa is simply not good enough. You all should stop playing the victim card all the time it's getting boring

IbnAbdullah1:



You are rather being emotional than factual.

You think football decisions are made like your monkey goal post five-aside soccer.

Rojo did not commit any penalty.
Go and read FIFA rules concerning hadlng balls that can result in a penalty.

Your blame should rightly go to Ighalo and the lack of concentration and focus from your team in the dying minutes.
Wtach the way the Iceland and Coratians players hande the Argentines and compare that to Nigeria.

They tried but luck and lack of focus was not on their side.

mobolaji234:
Can we just face the facts already! The rule as I see it states that it's meant to be a foul since his hand was stretched out.
Sentiments aside, it should have been a penalty. Even non-Nigerians are even complaining self.

aroundnaija:


Who be this thing?

TheGoodJoe:


Same thing. I felt irritated watching Ighalo and Mikel protest a clearly accidental hand ball. Rojo headed the ball to his arm. What could me more accidental than that?

Was the first awarded penalty really a penalty

Nigeria exit world cup since their first match. I have said it severally, if you want to progress in world cup, rule number one: never loose your first match. Never!. If we have at least a point from day one, we won't mind what we play much yesterday.
Nigeria lost long time ago. Make una go rest and cool down.

Idoko619:



If u don't knw d rules ntin stop u frm bin quiet,
Do u jump wt ur hand?
Take dat anywhr it was a penalty.
Saying d first fowl wasn't a penalty already show u r a novice in ds area.

It pays to listen

unmask:
then you need to open Ur eyes.....there is no way he would have jumped there without him having his arm out.....the distance from his head to his arm can be considered a point blank range from which he can't pull his arm out

So your argument is baseless and that cannot be a penalty with the current FIFA rules. If it had been awarded, then that would have been a great fraud

jogojogo:


Spain lost her first game and went on to win the world cup. What about that?

UncleJudax:

You must be a tennis fan

Many teams have performed well after losing their first game at the world cup.
Spain even won it at SA 2010, after losing their first match.

You have no clue about football

the annoying part is they are now calling d very fair official a racist.

Honestly that wasnt a Penalty, he headed the ball to his hand, not like his hand went up to block the ball......


Moreover Ighalo only protested after missing


If MESSI was a COUNTRY, I'd be a MESSICAN

Tweets below and many more not here, have shown why the VAR might be Rascist after all...

The hand ball by Marcus Rojo who later turned out to be a hero for the Argentines was similar to the handball awarded to Portugal yesterday against Morocco an African team...

A lot of Africans and even Europeans are not happy with the decision of the VAR.

aroundnaija:


Receive sense mugun and stop giving shiit about those who doesn't give shii about u or ur country odee..

Tell me the time a referee was called by the VAR referee (in this ongoing world cup) and a penalty wasn't awarded?

Herkim:
Bros Are you just watching football matches not to know that any foul committed inside 18-yard box is a penalty. This is total conspiracy against Africa continent not only Nigeria.

Thank you.

Gucciboss:

Lol. See comment. So Brazil is also a small team. Iran that got penalty through VAR is a big team abi what of Peru tha was awarded a penalty in the first match through VAR(which they missed anyway), are they also a big team? I fear Nigerians and their way of reasoning mehn.

peacengine:


Nonsense, Africa is good enough, although I agree that it wasn't a penalty, the boys played well. Ghana, Senegal and Nigeria have reached quarterfinal. Nigeria has won Olympic gold, we are good at under aged toutnaments, Aftica is good, our problem is "football age" Iheanacho is already weak because of fake age.

Senegal is still in the game, all never spoil
