Should have been from countries that haven't met with Nigeria or Morocco in recent time na

The sports governing body most times make us underate their integrity

I feel they only delight in cashing out from us but not to give us the best of entertainment

I don’t like this.
South Africa wants us to fail.
Ghana wants us to fail.

CAF appointed Nigeria’s enemies as referees.

Imagine 4th official is Mozambique that we beat 4:0.
Has Rwanda forgiven us?

Re: AFCON: CAF Appoints Ghanaian, South African Referees For Nigeria Vs Morocco by ViceGovernor: 6:13pm On Jan 13
No no no no No we reject it it should not stand.

There is a high table conspiracy to remove Nigeria from this tournament......we have a CAF president from South Africa who hates Nigeria and now has appointed two of our biggest haters on the continent to eliminate us.

We should report to FIFA ASAP.

Un-fun Fact:

Out of the 70 referees officiating the AFCON, none is a Nigerian.
Fun Fact:

The last time a Nigerian referee officiated at the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) was in 2006

Don't mind his likes. They keep cursing themselves thinking they hate the country....not realising they will keep reaping from the curse they lay on the land by themselves.

Professionally, any official can ref or officiate this match.

But politically, Ghana officials and south Africa officials is complicating the decision.
How will Ghana and SA referees prevent one from putting the ball inside the net? grin
I'm just curious.

Yea, they can make bad decisions on the pitch because of their hatred they have towards a particular country.

Its after the match that players, teams will start complaining, writing petitions to sue the referee, but it will be too late, because the deed has already been done. The referee may face the court later, but the team(players) has already lost the match, except if the football body intervene very quickly that they may revise the match, but its a complicated issue.

You are asking how it will stop the ball from entering the goalpost. Many things can affect it. Maybe when nigeria is awarded a corner-kick for example, the ref may overturn it saying its not a corner. He may not award free-kicks too. And these are opportunities which players could use to score goals.

They have been expecting Nigeria to fall but the team keep going, now they are so frustrated that they cannot hide it anymore and have to bring Nigeria's arch enemies to be the judge, God pass all of them.

Hmmm..... CAF appointing two strong rivals of Nigeria to officiate the upcoming match is a recipe for bias.

Anyways, its no longer hidden, that the Super Eagles will be [b]playing a 13 man Atlas lion team
come morrow.

To overcome such difficult opponents, they must be very disciplined, especially at the defense.

Also Oshimen has to throw away his temperament come morrow, else he might cost us a Red card[/b]
Wrong
A 14-man Atlas lion team
11 players, referee, Moroccan fans and their lasers.
