To be fair, it appears to me that he was probably getting dog's abuse from whoever was below him during the game.

VillaChris Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Wow what a game. Thought Argentina would win beforehand but in fairness Nigeria gave it a real go for second half. Sadly another hard luck story for Africa though. Didn't think the Rojo handball was penalty (the first one was pretty soft) and Nigeria lost a bit of focus after that aswell as being knackered. Think France will comfortably dispatch Argentina next round. Mascherano could barely pass a ball tonight so think Pogba-Kante will be dominanting that part of the pitch and France's front three against that defence...

Zatman Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 What an entertaining final night. some points Iceland super unlucky had so many chances Argentina were lucky to get through and will be battered by a pacier more clinical France as Moses and Musa got through them a lot Ref had a mare that was more a penalty than the Iran one and how Mascherano was allowed stay on the pitch, he looked like he came off a World War 1 battleground This Argentina squad seem classless, manager doesnt shake hands at end of game and players only shake hands when they win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have just assumed that he was getting abuse. Maybe he was just absolutely twatted and started abusing people. Which is far more likely. No need to invent a group of bad Nigerian fans out of thin air. Maradona is a prick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 my issue with it is the notion that he's there as some dignitary or that he's let himself down as if to suggest that he is some sort of bastion of virtue or a role model he's a been coke head and alcoholic for 30 years and people are disappointed he's behaving like a coke and alcoholic not sure who is wheeling him out and putting him in the limelight, no doubt some sponsor somewhere gets to go home after the tournament and tell his golf mates about some crazy nights with him in russia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
