The change.org website has an online petition for people to sign their approval for the sack of referee Peter O' Leary for his officiating in the Nigeria/Bosnia World cup game.

The petition reads thus: "Most of the people that watched Bosnia-Herzegovina saw the goal scored by Edin Dzeko in the 20' minute. The goal was denied because of the referee's command and Bosnia-Herzegovina lost 1:0 vs Nigeria. The goal scored by Nigeria should be denied as well, as the assistant (Emenike) made a foul, but the referee refused to acknowledge the foul. What we want: Most of the people who watched the match want the referee to be removed and the scoreline to be changed to 1:1 because the (Dzeko's) goal was denied. FIFA should also try to hire professional referees for the 2014 World Cup. Over 1 billion viewers saw that Edin Dzeko's goal in the 20' minute was denied. We hope FIFA will change some details and change result as well."

The petition also hints that it suspects Nigerian players of using drugs:
It says: "We want to check Nigerian players, because they might be under dopes (sic) and illegal resources for the match, so we need this for proof."

The petition site displays this photo as suspicion of a 'liaison' between the Nigerian team and the referee:
