Irregardless of emotional inclinations, money had to be made. Emotions did not help put up such an adorable stadium which hosted that match, neither where emotions needed in organizing the 2018 Russia FIFA World Cup.
My point is simple, how many Nigerians were able to purchase tickets for this competition? What was the number of Nigerian fans compared to the Argentines even in that crucial match?
When you seat to do the economic permutations of the day - with FIFA's eye, you might acknowledge (not necessarily understand) why the Turkish referee alongside his “bias” VAR where spot on in delivering the business of the day in Argentina’s favours and in the long run, FIFA's pocket.
We don't need to emphasize that in such high-profile competitions, FIFA and it's host has to always realize moneys to cover for certain expenses in organizing these competitions. However, one must acknowledge that the world is full of injustice today because people and organizations have mastered the act of substituting moral justice for economic and political gains. I must quickly note that this article is not about maximizing or underutilizing opportunities during a soccer match, neither is it a blame game article. If the sanctity of a thing cannot be protected, a time will come when that thing loses its relevance to the people.
My humble submission.

It's simple, Nigeria's continuous stay in the competition will be of less financial benefit to FiFa n co ; compared to Argentina who had over 70% of the stadium covered in most of their matches.

But did you read the article that published the corrupt act of NFF selling tickets meant for Nigerians to other countries?
