Brasilia, July 1 (IANS/EFE) Nigeria coach Stephen Keshi said that American referee Mark Geiger was unjust to his team after they lost 0-2 to France in the Round of 16 elimination match at the Estádio Nacional Mané Garrincha here Monday.

Keshi said Geiger did not show French players cards and called a Nigerian goal offside in the 18th minute, reports EFE.
