I am a Nigerian. Can someone please explain to me how the referee did not award a penalty for that handball by rojo.
Also gutted that marcos rojo managed to get the winner for argentina against nigeria for the second time in a world cup game.

{Ed004's Note - Because it was accidental. It was head onto hand. I don't know how the first penalty was given}

Ed more refs need to give penalties for holding on to opponents. Only way to stop the defenders from indulging in the homoerotica that goes on in the box during a corner is make it too costly.

{Ed001's Note - I tried to explain to him why it was given, it was 100% a penalty according to the rules. I really do not see why he found that so difficult to accept.}

All this holding etc needs to be stopped, and it’s good to finally see some punishment for it. However the refs need to be consistent, if that means giving 2/ 3/ 4 penalties a game then so be it, the players will soon learn (or so you’d like to think) .

I don’t understand how Rojo got away with the high leg in the first half. This foot was literally over the other player’s head. It’s pure luck that he didn’t end up kicking him in the face. Anywhere else on the pitch, and that’s a foul.

Same ref that sent Nani off against Real as well Danny!

Not over that one yet.

Eds, I just don't understand why the referee allow Mascherano to keep playing while he was bleeding. Isn't he supposed to be out until they treat the injury?

{Ed001's Note - he should have been sent to the sidelines to have the blood cleaned up and not allowed back until it was staunched or covered. Ref was weak.}
