Agen Bola Terpercaya Cityholidaybet Reported - John Obi Mikel says Olivier Giroud should have seen red for elbowing him during Nigeria's 2-0 defeat to France in their second round World Cup clash.
The Chelsea midfielder claimed referee Mark Geiger saw Giroud strike him in a tangle around the half hour mark, but opted against showing the Arsenal man a card before France battled to victory with two late goals to secure a place in the quarter-finals.
The 27-year-old criticised the referee for his failure to act on the apparent infringement.
"Yes I got an elbow and the referee saw it and he only gave him a warning, not even a yellow card, nothing," Mikel told Mirror Sport. "It was bad.
"We know the game - if you see it, act on it. The ref saw it. He did catch me, I don’t know if it was too hard but the intention was definitely there."
