Sports / Why Nigeria Didn't Get A Penalty When Argentina's Marcos Rojo Handled The Ball by austinroy(m): 8:13am On Jun 27, 2018
The referee who awarded a penalty to Nigeria during the match refused to give one when Manchester United defender Marcos Rojo appeared to handle the ball in the box.

The ball had clearly come off the player’s head and onto his extended arm while he was defending in the penalty box.

The ball came off the player’s head and onto his extended arm and despite the face of pleas from incensed Nigeria players, the referee took the decision to use VAR.

But after a brief pause for the video review, the decision was made not to award the penalty.

While Rojo’s play was remarkably similar to one that resulted in Iran being awarded a penalty against Portugal on Monday, a penalty the Iranians scored.

To be fair, Iran were lucky to get penalty when Cedric comitted a similar offence

However, strictly following the rules of FIFA, a handball shouldn’t be awarded if player handled it accidently. Neither does his hand move towards the ball (as opposed to the ball move towards his hand).

Excerpt from FIFA’s Law 12 (Fouls and Misconduct)
Handling the ball
Handling the ball involves a deliberate act of a player making contact with the ball with his hand or arm. The referee must take the following into consideration:
the movement of the hand towards the ball (not the ball towards the hand)
the distance between the opponent and the ball (unexpected ball)
the position of the hand does not necessarily mean that there is an
infringement
touching the ball with an object held in the hand (clothing, shinguard, etc.)counts as an infringement
hitting the ball with a thrown object (boot, shinguard, etc.) counts as an infringement

Disciplinary sanctions
There are circumstances when a caution for unsporting behaviour is required when a player deliberately handles the ball, e.g. when a player:
deliberately and blatantly handles the ball to prevent an opponent gaining
possession
• attempts to score a goal by deliberately handling the ball
A player is sent off, however, if he prevents a goal or an obvious goalscoring opportunity by deliberately handling the ball.

This punishment arises not from the act of the player deliberately handling the ball but from the unacceptable and unfair intervention that prevented a goal being scored.
Rojo hadn’t deliberately handled the ball, nor tried to prevent a goal-scoring opportunity which is why he wasn’t sent off or Nigeria didn’t get a penalty.

Cakir had hit the news in 2013 when he gave a red card to Nani and Real Madrid beat Manchester United in the Round of 16 in Sir Alex Ferguson’s last year as manager.

Nigera pay the price for their inexperience
Nigeria paid the price for the inexperience in their squad when they were eliminated from the World Cup in heartbreaking style by Argentina on Tuesday, but defeat in St Petersburg will serve as a valuable lesson, their coach Gernot Rohr said.

Nigeria, who have the youngest team at the tournament, came into the match needing to avoid defeat to hopefully progress to the knockout rounds and, but for Marcos Rojo's late strike, would have held on for a deserved draw instead of losing 2-1.

"It's a big disappointment," Rohr told reporters. "My team gave their best. They played a very good second half and missed qualifying by just a few minutes. These kind of matches build the character of the team.
"In the end Argentina were pushing, pushing, pushing. And they have great players. This is championship level and we are not ready for that now. It was also down to a little bit of luck and we didn't have it today."

Nigeria fell behind to an early goal from Lionel Messi, who opened his account in Russia with the tournament's 100th goal, but the Africans equalised from the penalty spot six minutes into the second half.

They set about the task of stifling the South Americans with aplomb until a late lapse of concentration allowed Manchester United defender Rojo to turn in Gabriel Mercado's cross in the 86th minute and snatch victory for Argentina.

"It is what it is. It just wasn't to be," Nigeria's skipper Jon Obi Mikel said. "It's a young team and in four years most of the players will be ready for this tournament.
"We have a group of boys who want to improve... and this is very good for Nigerian football."

Rohr said the players who had taken Nigeria to the brink of the knockout stages would show much greater maturity at the next World Cup.

"We have a very young team who lack some experience, but in four years we'll be very strong," he added. "I'd like to continue with this team because I have a good feeling about them.
"It's a good cocktail of usefulness and passion and we have discipline. We're missing experience and in the last minute conceded that goal, but this is learning."

Argentina, urged on by practically an entire stadium clad in their traditional blue and white shirts, move on to a round-of-16 meeting with France in Kazan on June 30.

"I think Argentina can do very well in the World Cup," Rohr said. "It will be an interesting game against France. If they find the spirit they had today, pushed on by their supporters, they will be able to do well in the World Cup."

Religion / What Happened To The Garden Of Eden? Where Is It Located? by austinroy(m): 5:35pm On Jun 08, 2018
The question is this: How should we answer questions that the Bible gives no answer to? My response is that we should do so with caution and humility. The bottom line is that the Bible leaves us at the end of Genesis 3 with Adam and Eve expelled from the garden and angels preventing them from re-entering the paradise which had been prepared for them and their descendants. From that point forward, the Scripture gives us no further information on the Garden of Eden. Therefore, we are left to speculate about what happened to the original Paradise.

First of all, let me say that I believe that the Garden of Eden was an actual place. Some, including friends of mine, believe that the entire story of Adam and Eve is metaphorical–that they are symbolic of the first people who were given God’s image and that the Garden of Eden is symbolic of the relationship all of us have with God before we sin. They believe that there was NO literal Garden and that Adam and Eve are symbolic–not actual people who lived. I do not agree with this interpretation, although I do agree that the entire story is loaded with symbolism. I believe that there was a place where the first two people made in God’s image lived in fellowship with God and that, because of their sin, they lost their favored place with their Creator.

So… What happened to the Garden after Adam and Eve left it? First of all, from the information we have in Genesis 2:10-14, I believe that the Garden was in Mesopotamia–in present-day Iraq. The Genesis writer mentions the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, which seems to make the general location clear. If we go to the area today, we certainly will find nothing like a lush paradise. Mesopotamia today is relatively arid. Five thousand plus years of continuous occupation and high-intensity farming has made the area more arid and less fertile. It appears that after Adam and Eve left the Paradise prepared for them, God chose to let nature take its course. Whether we accept the local flood theory or the global flood theory to explain the account of the flood in the days of Noah in Genesis 7-8, we can assume that the place where the Garden of Eden stood was inundated by the flood God used to judge the world at that time. Today, it is apparent that there is no remnant of the original garden where the first accountable humans lived.
Of course, the Garden of Eden stands as a foreshadow of the future Paradise all of those who put their faith in Jesus will have in heaven. There is no point in us looking back to the first Garden. We have a newer, better Garden to look forward to in which our relationship with God will be restored to the pristine purity which Adam and Eve had before their fall into sin, and the subsequent state of sin into which all their descendants fell. Hebrews 4:4-7 talks about a better rest that God has in store for us–our eternal Sabbath-rest with God in heaven. We can have a kind of nostalgia for the Garden of Eden, but I believe anticipation of heaven is an even better motivator for those who put their faith in God.
