If anything he was bias towards Columbia

At least we know now where Maradona gets is cocaine from.

[Calderyon]

This man made the most platant and obvious handball goal ever (the only one that has been made just like that) which the referee unbelievably approved, so he should really be quiet about the ref being dishonest.

Colombia captain Radamel Falcao also accused referee Mark Geiger of bias towards England, calling the American's performance "shameful".

Geiger often struggled to control a feisty encounter in Moscow, which England won on penalties.

"This situation was undermining us," said Falcao.

Maradona felt Geiger should have penalised Harry Kane for a foul on Colombia's Carlos Sanchez instead of awarding the penalty that allowed the England captain to open the scoring just before the hour mark in Moscow.

"Here's a gentleman who decides, a referee who, if you Google him, shouldn't be given a match of this magnitude... Geiger, an American, what a coincidence," Maradona added on his nightly World Cup show for Venezuela-based Telesur broadcaster.

Maradona was pictured wearing a Colombia shirt prior to the game and TV images showed him celebrating Yerry Mina's late equaliser.

Fifa said Maradona's comments were "entirely inappropriate" and that insinuations about the referee were "completely unfounded".

Football's world governing body added it was "extremely sorry" to read the comments from "a player who has written the history of our game".

"Fifa strongly rebukes the criticism of the performance of the match officials which it considers to have been positive in a tough and highly emotional match," it said.

'He only spoke English, some bias was certain'

No Referee was as bad as the one that allowed Maradona to do the hand of god.

And Maradona clearly hates England because if he took his blinkers off he'd have seen how dirty Colombia were, and it was a blatant penalty where Kane is being dived on by Sanchez.

And didn't Falcao in extra time elbow Maguire in the face when Falcao was trying to score? So yeah Falcao can't exactly complain either.
