Aurelio Jimenez said that he is suing FIFA for moral damages caused by bad refereeing at the tournament,demanding for a whooping 1billion Euros in compensation.
Colombia crashed out of the quarter-finals of the World Cup after losing 2-1 to the host country Brazil.
The 74-year old claimed that he was taken to hospital with a cardiac and respiratory problems as a result of the loss in that game.
"I decided to sue FIFA because in the World Cup there were many wrongdoings related to referees who damaged many countries , among them the Colombia team that suffered the corruption of referee Antonio Velasco Carballo, who annulled a fair goal of Mario Alberto Yepes" Jimenez said.
"I felt very bad, I was heartbroken, my cardiac rhythm was altered and my relatives took me to the Emergency Room at the Hospital. I was surrounded by my grandchildren who were crying a lot."
