RIVALDO IN 2002WC CON THE REF TO DIMISSIED OPPONENT BY THROWING HIMSELF ON THE FLOOR, WHEN HE WAS GIVEN THE BALL TO PLAY CORNER KICK.

Brilliant! Oscar, please! I totally did not rememver that one. A ball to the elbow, and he grabs his face and head like a sniper nailed him.

Below, list of Yellow cards so far. No Reds.

Of course a second Yellow typically means a Red. Not sure if it's going to be immediate or after the match this time. There's been some occasional tweaking in every other FIFA tournaments over the years by the ogas at the top.

have you noticed that efcc started this yahoo boy crackdown after buhari's visit to the us?

anyway - its all good. make yahoo a crime again

Dunno. Many more things happen without being reported. That worries me more than what's in the public domain. So much clandestine activities.

But, yeah. The fraud epidemic needed to be handled. At least send a warning and it might be a deterrence to some. Fraud/yahoo/419/scammer and Nigeria was beginning(?) to mean the same to foreigners. As if!

hector1046:
I still remember vividly the goal scored by Lampard vs Germany in 2010WC which was disallowed n England payed dearly for it

Ohmygod! Yes! That was bullish!t. Poor Lampard cursed his whole existence under his breath. What a gentle guy. I would have rioted.

Red cards tend to be highly controversial, Yellows less so.

Let's discuss all the cards issued from June 14 to final match in this World Cup.

Also, some very controversial cards, and referee calls from previous World Cups are:

- All the cards issued in Netherlands-Portugal match in WC2006. Actually that entire match was indescribable. The referee lost his damn mind!

- The controversial call against Italy in the WC2010(Euro2008 - actually) Netherlands-Italy match where Dutch striker Van Nistelrooy scored a goal when they were all clustered at the Italy box. Remember goalkeeper Gianluco Buffon throwing out his own defender like yesterday's trash?

Just a taste off the top of my head. Lots more controversial calls will come to mind.

Please post the ones you recall or want to discuss and, most important. . .

Keep posting about current RED Cards, YELLOW Cards, REFEREE, LINESMEN, FIFA and other OFFICIATING matters.

I don't believe there has been a red card yet in the last 4 matches so far but there have been yellows. I will post a list shortly.


P.S. Edited for mis-remembering Euro2008 for WC2010.

FBI can operate anywhere inside or outside the USA to police crimes against Americans. You can try and stop them though. Na you sabi.

CIA is a national security apparatus prohibited from working against Americans within the USA borders. That means they can work against foreigners anywhere inside or outside. They can also work against their own people if they are deemed a security threat to the USA. OUTSIDE the USA borders.

They cannot work against American citizens in USA. They have to bring in the FBI.

That is my understanding, from memory.

Bamz:
Stroke out ko stroke in ni. Comedian. I'm not even sure we can string 10 passes without losing the ball to the opponent. Spain were a joy to watch. I think Portugal were lucky today thanks to De Gea and that clueless coach.

Na play. God forbid you stroke out or even hear hbp. Amin!

BecaciaBarbie:
You know I had to go Google Messi's nationality because of her comment.

I understand the confusion. He plays in Spain his whole life and is tied forever to Barcelona. Plus his language is Spanish.

He's Argentinean.

dominique:
I'm watching Ronaldo's free-kick again and I am in awe. I doubt if Juninho, the Brazilian free kick maestro can score such a superb free-kick.

Enjoy below:
2 great free kick goals in one half. By one of my favourite ever players, Juan Roman Riquelme. Called by Gold-Tv's Ray Hudson and . . . the other guy. I recall it was a either a continental American tourney or a WC qualification match in 2006/7. Chile were so dirty dirty vicious! Hacking the other side the whole match.

Bamz:
Nigeria see your mates oh

I will keep my eye on you tomorrow. You're likely to stroke out from hbp.

Good job, Ronaldo. Even though I'm not a fan (of the person).

Great player. Great job!

mmclatino:

Seconded.

Luxuryconsult:
Lucknaldo has bn humbled.

resurgent2019:
Spain just dey do Portugal anyhow

Ohmygod I went to kitchen to get a snack and Spain went from 1 to 3 goals!

I'm good with that.

Timoleon:
Sincerely, is still hurts in my heart. Assamoah Gyan was my player of the tournament. Every time I watch the clip again, I cry. especially to see Gyan cry. even now I have tears in my eyes. Damn you Suarez!

Dann you to Hades, Suarez, you piranha-toothed donkey!

Hope Naija don't meet him.

spartan117:
True. I'll never forget Suarez vs Ghana, world cup quarter final 2010, I felt so angry.

Suarez is a great striker but. . . hated him since! And he bites with his horse teeth too! But the handball against Ghana?. . . I might have to do and eat a red card for my country too. Still hated him and cursed him for years though.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUWZuioV_DY

That Ghana match was one of, if not the most memorable match(es) of 2010 World Cup. Asamoah Gyan and Boateng were magnificent!

spongeisback:
Here ends my World Cup cheer. I can't stand this heartbreak please. Am not an Egyptian and am feeling this way what if it's Nigeria?

World cup is a heartbreak. It only gets worse from here. Just enjoy the first 2 weeks. It comes around only every four years.

Maket:
God of football was on Uruguay side.

Pele was rooting for Suarez?

spongeisback:
I just heard my heart break.

I dey fear for Naija people tomorrow o!

CSTR1003:
FBI has foreign units.

They go to foreign countries to effect raids in collaboration with the local partners.

Don't be sure of what you don't know.

It is a good thing though. Those online fraudsters are a menace to us all.

Imagine! Those fraudsters so frustrating a person to the point we're not minding USA breaking our territorial integrity. Even sending clean money to our families now, Western Union is putting us through so much! It shall never be well with scammers. [s]Wait, make I go provide FBI and EFCC with the "name" and phone numbers of my scammer[/s].

OttHin:
So now every white/fair man with fried hair you see in nigeria is from usa abi. Your mumu should do la.

They are in Nigeria! My uber driver last week was a retired U.S. Navy and he had been stationed in Lagos and Port Harciurt and all over Africa. He didn't tell me what he was doing there but we can only imagine.

revontuli:
You guys are not reading.
Read again: It says The Nigerian Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC is doing the raids in collaboration with the FBI. FBI sends them the IP addresses of the criminals, EFCC does the raid with Nigerian police.

Good job. EFCC can get it done.

evanstinobbc:
Na wah ooh, I be go watch match, I no know say Russia wan use Saudi Arabia open training camp

Watin make saudi come first

Probably hosting country picks? Not sure.

mansakhalifa:
Reports from match venue has it that Putin can't find the Saudi crown prince...

Dude probably sneaked out of the stadium after that fifth goal.

5☆☆☆☆☆ stuff from the Russians.

That crown Prince is a scumbag to be fair. But Saudis by 90% don't support their despotic government.

Russkis 5-0 Saudis.

Over.

Downhill from here for Russia methinks. But they will put up a strong fight.

Russkis 4-0 Saudis
