Senegal will win morocco.

The senagalese are very patient and notable with finals.

Morocco may not see the light at the end of the tunnel on the finale night.

Is it a must to host and win Afcon?
These Morocco own is too much,the intimidation against their opponents is too much,and CAF is unable to do anything about it.
For this final I go with Senegal to win the trophy.
No need for the final Match - CAF should just hand over the Cup to Morroco and end all subterfuge.

Na only for Africa all these kain things dey happen.

Just look at the Nigeria/Egypt match now, una no see referees from East Africa or even Southern Africa. Una wan give is ref from North Africa.
Same way they gave us a ref from the one amongst the two countries globally known for hating Nigerians. How can you give us a Ghanian ref knowing our history with those black people.
Abeg make una keep quiet, was the ref for our game not from West Africa, the Senegalese dem no complain of officiating, they only complained of other factors, make una stop this nonsense habit of saying the ref go dey bias, when game no even start yet.

It was very deliberate. One Ghanian center referee was put in charge on the field, one South African was put in charge of VAR and another was an Assistant Referee. Then they were both supported by officials from our recent opponents in the in the AFCON group stages such as Tunisia, Mozambique and then Lesotho from the world cup qualifying.

Outplayed Nigeria with ref and linesmen abi. U really funny o

Documenting the questionable decisions by this Ghanaian referee (Nigeria vs Morocco):

18’
Brahim kicks the ball out. The referee blows against Osayi and gives the throw-in to Morocco.
Note: There were wrong calls before this, but let’s start here.

22’
Brahim clearly handballs while trying to chest the ball. No whistle.

32’
Bassey is given a yellow card for an action that wasn’t even a foul.

34’
Clear foul on Ezzazouli not given.

36’
Another obvious foul ignored.

51’
Lookman is clearly pulled. No foul.

52’
Onyedika goes for a fair 50-50 ball. The referee blows against him.
It feels like Nigeria is not even allowed to touch a Moroccan shirt.

58’
Osayi is simply marking Ezzazouli. Suddenly, a free kick for Morocco.

65’
Ezzazouli blasts the ball away. No yellow card.

68’
The ball never leaves the field, yet the referee gives a throw-in to Morocco.
Even Moroccan players look confused.

88’
Free kick given to Hakimi when Moses Simon clearly didn’t touch him. It should have been Nigeria’s corner.

92’
Moses Simon cleanly wins the ball from Hakimi, but the referee calls a foul, stopping a clear counterattack.

93’
Clear foul on Onyeka. Referee waves play on.

99’
No yellow card for Brahim after pulling Bruno and stopping an attack.

102’
No yellow card for Igamane after stopping Osayi’s attack.

103’
The referee blows against Bashiru for absolutely nothing.

115’
Clear foul on Osayi. Completely overlooked.

When every call is against you, it will be difficult to progress with the ball. It will affect you psychologically. The officiating clearly targeted the psychological state of the players during play, using it as a weapon to distabilize the team.

See talk o....

No matter what, if you do ya thing properly, you go beat anybody, even if dem dey on top the land of their ancestors....

Nigeria didn't play well, even with referee doing nonsense, they couldn't beat us in 90mins. If the Super Eagles had fired dem played their pks properly, wetin all those kinda blockheaded intimidation go fit achieve? It just that people get too much energy and always lose their cool. Lazy person like me go decide to ignore you ( I no even get choice as I dey too lazy to respond most times 😁) .... And as I dey ignore you, I dey do my thing the way I know... It has always worked for me. The only animal that could get under my skin and make me respond angrily na one of my boy. They were two like that the witches sent to trouble me. I thank the forces say I no get time with craze people, everybody don kukuma dey their own before the wereys burst my liver with anger ..
Yeah, Nigeria was below par but in truth the Moroccans were biased! The officiating was demoralising! I saw videos, ball that hasn't even gone out for throw in was blown for and awarded to Morocco. I saw one where Nwabali's towel was taken from behind goal post. These are not normal.

But i agree they won sha!

CAF has been very useless and annoying lately.

A Moroccan referee has been appointed to take charge of Nigeria's third place game.
Infact, the entire officiating team consist of Moroccans, Algerians and Tunisians.

Like I said, nah Morocco go win the AFCON. Everything has been planned..

Anybody that’s been watching football for years go know say football don change..
Just to balance am, them go officiate against Egypt so that Nigeria go win. So that it will look like they are not bias against dark Africans.

Why north African islam shy away from political domination and destruction, they make up for it in football terrorism.

if u think Senegal will win tomorrow... well nothing is impossible especially if they can shoot from outside and score....at some point super eagles were so careful not to go close to the Morrocan players in our box 18. even if the Senegalese team put up a prime Brazilian or barca performance, if the ref is against them, they will lose!

let's get this straight. the refereeing was not bad or terrible; rather, it was a deliberate, well planned and executed work of fraud. those are two different things. a ref can be terrible in decisions but this was influenced and had the backing of people. have we not lost in the semis or finals before? this was the ref and morroco collaborating together.they will do what they did to Cameroon and Nigerian to Senegal.
Anytime Nigeria wants to pressure the Moroccan defense, they will lie down on the ground and the Ref will blow like his life is tied to their downfall.

Well articulated for those who don't understand how this drains the spirit of any sportsman during a game.

Most footballers are well trained over time to control their emotion & frustration but it saps the spirit and there is nothing they can do about it. It is easy to come on Nairaland and be typing rubbish but poor officiating, especially strategic one orchestrated across different phases of the match, is one of the most difficult test of human endurance even for super active sportsmen at the peak of their sporting career.

It's best if 3 to 4 countries host competition with country teams playing on neutral ground...just imagine Nigeria and Morocco matches...all the fans and spectators in the field are Moroccans ...if na you ur lover no go cut
Re: AFCON 25: Senegal Refuse To Train, Send Complaints To CAF Ahead Of Morocco Final by judewrites: 12:13pm On Jan 17
I will be very happy cheesy if Senegal can beat morroco tomorrow....no be everytime wey hosts go win am.

It was reported that CAF revenue is on a record high because of the successful hosting of this competition by morrocco.

CAF will therefore be obliged to favour morroco with the trophy by hook or crook.

The morrocans will cry fowl 🐔 to CAF if they lose tomorrow afcon and threaten to pull out of future hosting.

You nor really sabi too much!
Izit only maggi that makes your soup tasteful?? Nor be until you add all the other ingredients??

By the time they/referee
1. Monitor your training so as to know how to tackle your key players/know how and where your players place their penalties,

2. Distract your 'nwabali' by openly and shamelessly stealing his items/throwing things at him while the officials turn blind aiz.

3. Gives 100% of 50-50 calls to morroco

4. Award penalty kick against your team

5. Deny u obvious penalty

6. Cancel your open-play goals as offside

7. Blows the whistle when he sees your moves will likely result in a goal

8. Allow bono to move before your 'bruno onyemachi' plays his penalty kick [/b] - as against fifa stipulated rules,

9. Give your star player/'calvin bassey' a yellow/red card for an offense committed by a morrocan player.

10. Demoralize your players with obvious biased officiating such that they can't execute their game-plan no more

11. Frustrate your fans from gaining access into the stadium by hiking the ticket fee (beyond their teach) all of a sudden

12. etc,

na dt time your aiz go clear!

Unlike Iwobi and Lookman waiting for 20 acres of space before shooting. Mane would shoot without even letting the ball bounce.
