Ghana manager fumes over officiating, claiming VAR ‘went for a coffee’ during key penalty call
The final score was not reported at press time, but the major talking point from the match between Ghana and England was a controversial penalty decision that left Ghana’s manager furious. The match, played at an unspecified venue and date according to available information, ended in a draw, but the absence of a crucial VAR intervention dominated post-match discussion.
Reports indicate that during a critical moment in the game, England were awarded a penalty that sparked outrage from the Ghanaian bench. Ghana’s manager publicly criticised the officiating crew, sarcastically saying that ‘VAR went for a coffee’ when his team needed the technology most. No further details on who scored or at what minute the incident occurred were provided in available reports.
For Super Eagles fans watching continental rivals Ghana, the controversy serves as another reminder of how officiating decisions can swing big international fixtures. With AFCON qualifiers and World Cup campaigns often decided by fine margins, such moments put added pressure on CAF and FIFA to improve refereeing standards across African matches.
Neither the Super Eagles coaching staff nor representatives from the Ghana Football Federation had issued statements at press time. Only Ghana’s unnamed manager’s outburst was documented in reaction to the incident; no quotes from England’s camp or match officials were available.
Ghana’s next fixture details were not included in current reports. Fans will be hoping for clearer officiating and less drama as both teams look ahead to their upcoming international commitments.

Cristiano Ronaldo has responded sharply to fans of Lionel Messi who claim he is not on the same level as the Argentine superstar. The debate over who is the greatest footballer of their generation has raged for years, with supporters on both sides quick to highlight their favourite’s records and trophies.
In his latest comments, Ronaldo made it clear that he believes hard work is what sets him apart. While addressing questions about comparisons to Messi, Ronaldo reportedly said, ‘God helps those who work hard,’ underlining his philosophy that talent alone is not enough to reach the top in football.
The rivalry between Ronaldo and Messi has shaped an entire era in world football. Both have won multiple Ballon d’Or awards and broken scoring records across Europe’s top leagues. However, it remains a hot topic among Nigerian fans and across social media, where arguments over who is truly number one never seem to end.
Neither Ronaldo nor Messi’s representatives had issued further statements at press time. The Super Eagles’ coaching staff have also stayed silent on which player they believe is better, leaving Nigerian supporters to continue the debate in beer parlours and online forums alike.
With both stars still active in club football—Ronaldo now playing in Saudi Arabia and Messi recently moving to Major League Soccer—their legacies continue to grow. Nigerian fans can expect even more heated arguments as both legends chase new records in the twilight of their careers.
