CAF Deserves To Be Thoroughly Spanked For The Embarrassing Officiating At AFCON by Babasessy(m): 2:29pm On Feb 07, 2013
CAF deserves to be thoroughly spanked like a 10 year old, rebuked & embarrassed for their suspiciously corrupt & inept referees at the on-going AFCON 2013. Their poor officiating & calls remain very controversial, disputable & atrocious as if some of them were working for some betting, racketeering & match fixing rings somewhere in Asia & operating undercover of some teleguided remote control. These calls to question their in-depth lack of professionalism & a shameless sense of integrity arising from their apparent gross incompetences!!!

Many a time some of them had attempted to edge out NIGERIA's SUPER EAGLES with the most spurious officiating but mother luck & the god of soccer that never slumbers kept the team going during the tottering & teething preliminary stages!!! We were all witnesses to the Egyptian referee in the match between NIGERIA V ZAMBIA that was banished from the tournament for inventing & awarding a penalty for ZAMBIA to equalize against NIGERIA at the dying minutes of the game!!!

CAF should try & put their house in order & stop this nonsense disgracing Africa before our very eyes & the rest of the football world!!! If these deliberately erratic referees are not competent & capable enough, CAF can borrow better & more reputable ones from Europe, Asia, South America & other FIFA affiliate Confederations!!! The 2nd semi final match between GHANA vs BURKINA FASO glaringly revealed another chronic shortcomings on the part of these overtly biased referees killing the spirit & soul of African football!!!

Meanwhile, I still consistently maintain that the next AFCON in 2015 should be hosted in at least 10 to 12 carefully selected best stadia in major African cities across the African continent to ensure a wide & even spread!!! UEFA is adopting this innovative style in the next edition of their EUROPEAN NATIONS CUP to be hosted & spread to 13 different European cities!!!

### AND AS A MATTER OF FACT, I'M HIGHLY INTERESTED & WAITING FOR THE LATEST REPORT ON THE MATCH FIXING SCANDAL THAT FIFA JUST UNCOVERED LATELY & STILL INVESTIGATING BEFORE MAKING PUBLIC...!!! JUST AS SOMEBODY SOMEWHERE SHOULD OPEN UP A CAN OF WORMS ON THESE SUSPECT & CORRUPT REFEREES PLEASE!!
