VAR During Nigeria Vs Argentina Match: Worldwide Reactions by Abjay97(op): 10:37pm On Jun 26, 2018
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.

Was the penalty against Nigeria in Iceland game really a penalty?

This is for the VAR and the referee

Like if you think FIFA is Rascist.
Share of you think Ighalo was the cause of our loss

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

Stop being bias and abusive

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.

the guy nodded the ball unto his hands. its not a penalty.
it could have been a penalty if the first point of contact was his hand and not head.

there is no where in FIFA football where you are allowed to play the ball with your hand. It's called football not handball once your hand leaves certain areas like your groin for protection,its foul
Re: VAR During Nigeria Vs Argentina Match: Worldwide Reactions by Nobody: 5:26am On Jun 27, 2018
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.

His hand movement was pure reflex cause he needed to jump to head the ball. Good call by the ref and var. we should learn to seperate emotion and sentiments from football and rather blame our lack-lustre performance on the crop of players we have. Our finishing was very poor and we afforded the Argentinan strikers too much space going forward. I thought we'll field a more robust defense and box messi in a corner just like the Croatians and Icelanders did but we just let him roam freely. Hope we do better at the next World Cup.

u r totally right but even when the ref blows a handball some where else in the field of play it's still d same reflex movement..... ball to hand FIFA rule has long stopped existing unless they just brought it up in our game

Stop saying what you don't know

Re: VAR During Nigeria Vs Argentina Match: Worldwide Reactions by Nobody: 6:57am On Jun 27, 2018
All these ones just want to cry.
Could you please shut the hell up
If Ighalo had scored the goal, would you be here saying bullshit? What about the first penalty, did anyone even spot it before the ref blew? So he wasn't bias when he awarded the first penalty which wasn't even worth it but suddenly became biased afterwards sore losers.

That was one of the best ref so far in the tournament.
No sane ref would award that penalty because it didn't in anyway stop or even interrupt a goal scoring opportunity in fact it even aided the Nigerian striker and Ighalo only started protesting after he had missed a perfect chance

Re: VAR During Nigeria Vs Argentina Match: Worldwide Reactions by kcowen(m): 7:32am On Jun 27, 2018
Nigeria should leave sentiment, Rather face the man ighalo who sent us home, it wasn't a penalty. I knew it wasn't a penalty the minutes the Idiot started complaining. The ball touched his Head before the Hand, if the ball had touched the head directly that would have been a penalty
Re: VAR During Nigeria Vs Argentina Match: Worldwide Reactions by mobolaji234: 8:04am On Jun 27, 2018
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.
