Diego Maradona has accused England of theft after Gareth Southgate's meted out justice to Colombia's hatchet men.
Maradona, the Hand of God who cheated the Three Lions at the 1986 tournament in Mexico, insists Gareth Southgate's men got the benefit of a FIFA stitch up to move into the last eight of the World Cup.
In a blistering attack on Argentine TV, he claimed that American referee Mark Geiger was out of his depth, that referees' chief Pierluigi Collina should apologise to the Colombian nation for appointing him, and that the penalty given for Carlos Sanchez's grapple with Harry Kane was a foul instigated by the England captain.
Daft Diego said: “I saw a monumental theft. I apologise to all the Colombian people, but they must know the players are not to blame.
“It is the man who decides who the referee is who is to blame. A man like that (Geiger) should not be put in charge of a game of that magnitude.
“With all due respect, Pierluigi Collina, as the man who designates the referees, he is very bad. He must apologise to the Colombian people.
“I told (FIFA president) Gianni Infantino that if I worked for FIFA I would change everything. It has to be transparent. That's why I didn't go there.
“The referee will know a lot about baseball, but he has no idea about football (
just the several hundred games he's managed, Diego). The Colombian players asked for VAR and he did not give it to them.

“Twice the English threw themselves to the ground and he did not admonish them. This was theft.”
Colombia had six players booked – including Wilmer Barrios, who was lucky to escape a red card for his first-half headbutt on Jordan Henderson.
Kane both won and converted the 57th-minute penalty from which England took the lead.
But Colombia forced extra-time thanks to Yerry Mina's header before England prevailed in the penalty shoot-out.
Maradona insisted: “The penalty was not a foul. In fact, it was Kane's fault.
“The referee is looking somewhere else and when he turns his head, Kane is on the floor.
“Kane used his arm to hook Sanchez and then threw himself down.
“I repeat, why didn't the referee ask for the VAR? Colombia died standing. That's why I applaud them.”

He's not fishing, he's just an epic **** and always has been. He was caught on camera dealing drugs at one of the games. Collapsed did he?
Smacked off his t!ts again more like.

Top fishing from the legend, great s.o.h.

The legend is right. Kane committed a foul on the Colombian player first.
Diego doesn't have a Betfair forum mentality, he's not fishing, he's just chatting absolute s***
No mention of the Colombia players kicking up the penalty spot, headbutting Jordan Henderson, time wasting, climbing over Sterling back when not even in danger lol.

Seventeen hours later and still seeeeething
I dare say most of his close associates are Colombian...
maradona (I can't bring myself to dignify him/it with a capital letter) applauding Colombians presumably involves using two hands of God.
I'm not fussed whether there was fishing or not. Why do I/we spend a second of our time on him/it? A contemptible worthless laughing stock.

Such bitterness towards the man who scored probably the greatest goal in a world cup match ever.
His second in the game wasn't bad either

if there was VAR back then that 2nd goal would never of happened. Pattern of play would have been completely different.
You gotta hand it to Maradona.
Great player, great dancer (see below) and now a great fisherman.

Is that what Wolstenholme meant when he shouted "they think its ALL over".
The snivelling ,obese tub of lard forgets his cheating 'hand of god' incident would have been outed with var
he was an overrated little p0nce as a player and a total piece of shyte as a human being, there will be few tears from me hen he pops his vile little clogs
He was a great player but he's not a good person that is for sure
Even trying to wind us up (badly), he really does dislike us

The irony is, he's accusing the ref of being biased towards England because he's English speaking, yet he's throwing his dummy out here because he wants to pander to his fellow South American, Spanish speaking neighbours, how can anyone take him seriously.
Sanchez fouled Kane and tripped him clearly. But Kane clearly fouls Sanchez first by pulling his head forward and down in order to try get past him. That is what Maradona is on about.
Watch it again if you don't believe me. Right in front of the ref too https://twitter.com/JogaBonito_USA/status/1014226970706620417

that wasn't a Kane foul, clear foul by Sanchez though, and the rest of filth they tried during the match, including the old fart of a coach deliberately bumping into Sterling to rile him up, headbutting Henderson, Ospina faking a foul from Maguire, trudging on the penalty spot before Kane's pen.
Pleasing scenes, they got what they deserved, and so will that nob Neymar before time.

actually, it was a foul looking at it again, but everything else I said still stands.
That Colombian player should have been sent off for nutting Henderson. Alls well that ends well.

Correct Mes, it was a foul. If the defender had done it to Kane you'd want a penalty.
mental health problems imo .... pity as his playing days were cut short bu his lifestyle - by 1992-1994 (Messi's age now) he was knackered
he barely had enough energy to walk on to the pitch in 1994 WC
82 he didn't show up - so 1986 and 1990 ,just the 2 finals ....
Former German captain Lothar Matthaus and Brazilian great Ronaldo were at the launch of FIFA’s annual player awards in Moscow on Wednesday and Matthaus said he thought the referee should have been much stricter with Colombia’s arguing and diving. He also thought England were worthy winners.
While Ronaldo, when asked by a reporter what he thought of Colombia’s complaints, said: “How long have you been reporting on football?”
To which the response was “17 years”.
“Well, you will know then that the loser always moans,” replied Ronaldo.

mesmerised .While i agree with all you say about Columbias tactics.You fail to mention
any of the dirty tricks England got up to.Youngs over the ball tackle and Maguires attempt
to cheat for a penalty being two which were obvious

He is the best player to have ever played the game imo - but for whatever reason (and there must be some) he is a horrible human being.
Colombia got away with contemptible behaviour because of a very weak and very poor ref.

Based on what? How many times have you actually seen him play 90 minutes?
Then compare that to you how many times you have seen Messi and CR.

defender had both arms around kane he was in his rights to try to get free.
then defender pushes him to the ground pretty clear cut.
no arms around him and its a different story.

Is that it?
A slight brush past!
They deserved it anyway, dirty cheating feckers.
The truth here is that they like giving it out but cry like babies when they get it back. England wanted a football match, they wanted a typical SA filth fest and they ended up going home.
Justice was done.

if the defender had not pushed him to the floor columbia might of won.
As it stands they are cheats and poor sportsmen so its better they are gone.

Is the first foul the fact the defender had raised arms around kane?
Nothing better that seeing a complete bell-end in tears.

Based on being alive and loving football now and at the time, did that really need explaining ?
Wonder how much he made? Pretty sure he just missed the big bucks. I guess any publicity will raise the profile
It should be pointed out, that Maradonna when giving this interview to a Venezuelan TV station - was wearing a Colombian shirt and was seen celebrating Colombia's equaliser - and then he goes on to a rant about favouritism and biasm on part of the referee you couldn't make it up.
Pictured before the match
you couldn't make it up. Pictured before the match
He gets £10,000 for every match he attends at the World Cup as an ambassador for FIFA.
Needless to say the fat useless cheating gutless piece of dog shight has apologised to FIFA for his outburst.

He's exactly the kind of ambassador you'd expect for FIFA.
He was a drugs cheat pure and simple, would he have been so good without them?
Tainted.

The challenge on Kane for the penalty, had it occurred anywhere on the pitch outside the penalty area, would have resulted in a free kick to England and nobody would have had a problem with it. The referee, who was very weak at other times, was well positioned and made the right call.
the seethers are all over the Internet - they've even edited some wikipedia pages
This is a quote from the page about the great Brazil 1982 side (talking about the 2nd stage group game between Brazil and Argentina)
"After that, Brazil scored twice, and Maradona was sent off after he kicked a rival in a moment of characteristic unsportsmanship.".
