A video surfaced of Maradona decked out in Colombian football attire wishing them success against the Three Lions.
Unfortunately for Maradona and his adopted country for the night, England won via a penalty shootout. However, Maradona believes England's victory was mired by controversy.
During an appearance as a pundit with Argentinian TV station teleSUR, Maradona suggested that Harry Kane cheated in the game. He also pointed the finger of blame at FIFA and referees chief Pierluigi Collin for the 'theft'.
He said: “I saw a monumental theft. I apologise to all the Colombian people, but they must know the players are not to blame.
"It is the man who decides who the referee is who is to blame. A man like that (Geiger) should not be put in charge of a game of that magnitude. With all due respect, Pierluigi Collina, as the man who designates the referees, he is very bad. He must apologise to the Colombian people
