Yerry Mina accuses England players of diving

Colombia national team star Yeri Mina has accused England players of diving and claimed they got favoured treatment from the American referee. He said: “The refereeing favoured them a little. We told the ref to consult VAR on the penalty but he didn’t do it. “We knew they had been going down in the box looking for a penalty.” He also claimed the Colombian team had been “belittled” by some of the pre-match comments that came out of the England camp, although he did not detail what exactly had upset them. Admitting he was sad at the result, he added: “I am very sad because we gave everything. “I finished exhausted and my teammates had cramp. I give thanks to this group for giving their all on the pitch. Colombia manager, Argentinian Jose Pekerman, also questioned the ref over the Harry Kane penalty decision. He said: “I don’t know if it was really a penalty. There are too many contradictions in the current rules. “They won but they never really made the difference against us.”
