I Don’t Know Why I Didn’t Award Penalty To Nigeria – Turkish Referee by Nobody: 1:06pm On Jun 27, 2018 |
According to Super Eagles captain, John Mikel Obi, when he asked the Turkish referee Cuneyt Cakin why he did not award the penalty for the handball of Argentine defender, Marcus Rojo, the referee replied saying he didn't know. Mikel said the referee admitted that the ball touched the hand of Marcos Rojo in the 82nd minute of Tuesday’s game but he put up a defense in not awarding the crucial spot-kick. The penalty, if awarded and scored at a time the match was 1-1, could have wrapped up a second round ticket for the Eagles. Speaking at the post-match briefing in St Petersburg, Mikel said: “I asked the referee if he thought the ball struck Rojo’s hand and he said ‘yes;. The referee told me that the ball came off Rojo’s head before it hit his hand.” Mikel added: ”I then asked Cakur why he didn’t award the penalty to Nigeria, he said: ‘I don’t know.’ That was sad because we checked the match video in the dressing room and it was a clear penalty kick. “When the ball touches your hand in the penalty box, it’s a penalty. No two ways about that. Maybe he didn’t want to give us the second penalty. It is sad we had to exit the competition this way. Speaking about his future with the national team, Mikel said he would be most delighted to lead the boys going further into the future. I’m happy playing with this bunch of players. I expect them to grow into a great side and I think this team would make a good impression in the next four years. They are good boys with bright future,” he said. “Of course, we did everything we could; we pushed and pushed to get the goal but it was not to be. “We want to thank all Nigerians for their support; we have to keep going.” https://lailasnews.com/i-dont-know-why-i-didnt-award-penalty-to-nigeria-turkish-referee/ 17 Likes 2 Shares

It was not a penalty. It was unintentional. Iheanacho and Ighalo are the problem. Selfishness and unclinical idiots 318 Likes 18 Shares |

Disband this stupid team. Assemble a team based off mostly local players and few foreign based players, at least the team would have cohesion. The current team is filled with average bastards who wouldn't even start for their respective club sides. And lastly, fire that German fraudster Rohr. ----- South Korea that just defeated Germany, do they have two heads? 29 Likes 1 Share |

Obi1kenobi: How old are you and when did you start watching football ? Common sense did not tell you that weather deliberate or not, when you obstruct a ball like that at such a crucial pace it’s suppose to be ? Take for example baloguns obstruction which looked like a mistake on the last man after the slight miskick 5 Likes

That's why one have to expect the unexpected when it comes to the round leather game. The Super Eagles tried their best but it's painful you had to bow to the pressure in the end. Anyway, better luck next time and we do hope to qualify and come back more stronger in Qatar 2022. 1 Like |

We lost due to tactical. The coach made the wrong call and he sat comfortable as the Argentines ran us over. If an experienced Argentina side can bring in substitute during the second half to strengthen their attack, one would have expected Rohr to obey Newton's Third law by reacting with his own substitution. Also, that handball calls for a penalty. A similar occurrence took place in Portugal's match and it was awarded. 7 Likes 1 Share |

tempest01: Can you guys please stop this unintentional bullsheet? I agree that Ighalo killed us, but when the ball touches your hand in the box, it's a penalty. Whether it hits your head or your opponent's head before it touches your hand, it's a penalty Professional players like Drogba, Shearer are saying its a penalty, but you guys just won't agree 27 Likes 3 Shares |
