Fifa denounced Wednesday evening the statement of Diego Maradona, about the refereeing of the 8th finals between Colombia and England, the Three Lions tearing the qualification in penalty kicks (1-1, 4- 3 tab). In a Venezuelan TV show, Maradona had estimated that Colombians had been the victims of a "monumental robbery" by US referee Mark Geiger over a whistle for Carlos Sanchez fouling Harry Kane ( 57th). "Fifa is still old and rigged," had even launched the Argentine star. "Fifa is sorry to read such statements from a player who wrote the history of our sport," the court said. "The additional comments and insinuations are totally unfounded and inappropriate," says Fifa, which "strongly condemns critics of the referees' performance as positive," given the issues surrounding the match.
