@Khofidhestro The day I realised football was totally cooked and while it left me fuming and a life long hater of everyone associated with the barc team, including that crook who has successfully managed to con too many people
Does anyone else remember Argentina vs Nigeria at the 2018 World Cup?
Because I still haven't forgotten what happened that night.
Messi gave Argentina the lead early, Victor Moses equalised from the penalty spot, and Nigeria were on the verge of reaching the knockout stage.
Then came the moment that still leaves a bitter taste...
Marcos Rojo clearly handled the ball inside the box.
The referee, Cüneyt Çakır, went to VAR, reviewed the incident... and somehow decided it wasn't a penalty.
Even John Obi Mikel confronted him afterwards, and, according to Mikel, the referee admitted the ball had hit Rojo's hand but simply said he didn't know why VAR told him not to award the penalty.
Minutes later...
Rojo scored the winner that sent Argentina through and knocked Nigeria out.
One of the most controversial World Cup refereeing decisions involving Nigeria...
Yet somehow, we hardly ever talk about it.
Does anyone else still remember that robbery? 🇳🇬💔
@Swagata29789970 While there is seldom any smoke without a fire.
Today's world of microscopic review of everything, makes those waiting to cry foul shout loudest.
20 years back you needed to get outside one's house, meet actual people to share such lamentations, now one just needs internet!
My semi final predictions were
France✅
Belgium ❌
Norway
Switzerland
So far I have got one wrong one right.
Belgium lost her stalwart goalie, while it was still dead locked.
For the final I predict
Norway versus Spain
And finally Norway as the winner.
People talking about the world cup being fixed and yet forget to mention the two goals within seconds after the match practically stopped moving for nearly half an hour. Which ended Iran's world cup hopes.
@Jagadis52319452 I have actually called a race there. Mr Humble won it. Thanks to Roshan and Mr Manohar for letting me call it. I wasn't at all prepared but somehow managed to spot the winner near the distance post.
What a weekend of racing is coming our way!
If I wasn't so busy with work and World Cup I think I would have attended both days.
Have already cancelled a few engagements and declined invitations. Hopefully will catch the Derby live.

While I feel terrible for Croatia, and many of us who haven't watched football since last world cup, clearly don't know all the newer rules, it seems most footballers playing and a few pundits are also in the dark.
But love the meltdown of Messi fans as well.
What a match! The argument hasn't yet ended.
Does leave a little bit of bad taste in one's mouth. That is because occasional footbal fans like me aren't up to date with the rules. Can't remember when I last slept for 4 hours straight.
Will this red card (there have been too many not given in other games) give Bosnia the lease of life they desperately need?
Hopefully the trend of coming from behind continues. My faith in FIFA will be restored if USA gets knocked out today
