I agree, it’s not the Nigerians fault. Play seemed to carry through though in this case, I don’t think the defenders were stopping.

Let’s not forget, I believe our USA team had a goal disallowed against Slovenia I think, I was watching that the other day. We had to score late to defeat Algeria as well. I remember that much. We may have had a goal disallowed in that one as well, these games from 2010. So, this is not something that is rare in the sport. With the Slovenes, we drew, we were able to defeat Algeria. Those things happen and yes, instant replay perhaps could add some remedy to atrocious calls. Then, OTOH, there is a lot of gray area in the game.

One can just hope the bad and good breaks even out. Easier to happen in a season than a one month tournament.
