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? 🇳🇬💔
My UBER driver in Baltimore told me he just got out of an ICE facility, that he spent 8 days in Washington and 51 days in a facility in Arizona. His wife reported him missing, cops had no idea ICE had taken him. He said, “She thought I was dead.” He’s an American citizen. Took them that long to realize it. This is just one guy. There’s thousands...
🇨🇭🚨 Even in Switzerland — FIFA's own backyard — fans are marching against Infantino and his corrupt empire.
Banners screaming "Love Football, Hate FIFA." Protesting commercialization, rigged schedules, referee scandals, and the endless greed turning the beautiful game into a billionaire playgroun
🚨 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: FIFA's decision to lift Folarin Balogun's automatic suspension was reportedly made by just one person: Disciplinary Committee president Mohammad Al Kamali.
The other 17 members of the committee were not consulted, according to the report.

Aquí le mostraron tarjeta amarilla a Olise tras una clara simulación del futbolista paraguayo.
¿El VAR intervino para corregir la decisión, retirarle la amarilla al francés y sancionar al paraguayo? No.
Incluso fue rechazada la solicitud de Francia para que se le retirara la amonestación a Olise y pudiera disputar el siguiente partido.
Por eso no me cansaré de decirlo: Argentina juega con un reglamento distinto.
Este Mundial está perversamente diseñado para facilitarle el camino y llevarla lo más lejos posible. En Qatar 2022 ocurrió exactamente lo mismo, solo que con un nivel de descaro todavía mayor.
Global outrage at FIFA happening now !!! 😱
Messi raised his finger against the Portuguese referee and threatened him: "Speak to me with respect!"
Despite an official rule against this action that leads to a red card and a multi-match ban, Messi was exempted from punishment!
🚨 Djed Spence was clearly fouled in the box but the VAR decided it wasn't a Penalty
However VAR gave Argentina a Penalty for an exact foul on Parades against Egypt
Why are the rules different for Argentina vs other teams !? 😱
#URGENTE Las imágenes que nos llegan de todas las detenciones y redadas de #ICE son de verdad criminarles.
¿Cómo puede justificar el gobierno de Donald Trump este actuar de su Gestapo?
¿Acaso esto no debería de ser motivo de fuertes críticas y exhortos de organismos internacionales para que Trump respete los Derechos Humanos? @hrw@UNHumanRights@Claudiashein

ICE slam man's head against stone wall—send him to hospital with fractured skull.
Man's hands were already behind his back.
Agents then physically assault legal observers—soon as they realize they're caught on video.
Threaten to shoot witnesses with taser—even firing it up.
Agent holds taser sideways "gangster style"—is this proper training?
Man was taken to Northwestern Medicine Delnor Hospital.
Incident occurred outside the Kane County Judicial Center in the St. Charles suburb of Chicago, Illinois.
JUST SO I UNDERSTAND THIS, BLOCKING THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ IS UNFAIR, BUT BLOCKING OIL SHIPMENTS TO CUBA IN ORDER TO COLLAPSE THEIR WHOLE COUNTRY, IS FAIR 🤔 DID I GET THAT RIGHT 🙄
