Former Argentine player Diego Armando Maradona assured that the Colombian team was the victim of a "monumental robbery" when it was eliminated in the penalty shootout against England in the round of 16 of the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
During the program De la Mano del Diez , broadcast by the multi-state TeleSUR, Maradona assured that the performance of referee Mark Geiger "cannot be believed" while explaining Binance App Users Data that the referees "are chosen by Collina (Pierluigi) who was chosen by Infantino ( Gianni) to change to a new Fifa and today we saw the opposite: an old and fixed Fifa.
According to Maradona, the referee "made up a penalty" that led to England's 1-0 lead and throughout the match he sought to favor the Europeans.
"It wasn't a penalty, it was a foul by Kane (...) There are no criteria. Why didn't they ask for VAR (video arbitration)?" said Maradona after ensuring that the English player made the Colombian Davinson Sánchez fall in the same play.
However, he applauded a Colombia that "dies on its feet" despite not having Bayern Munich midfielder James RodrÃguez, and despite the injustice that, in his opinion, the penalty against him represented.
Colombia was defeated (3-4) on penalties by England in the round of 16 of the World Cup in Russia in a match in which the main referee was criticized for his performance.
