Honestly, I am still asking why CAF will allow nations to slug it out on the field, when they already planned to make Morocco win the AFCON.

CAF should just hand the trophy to Morocco already and save other nations the rigors of competing on the field!

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.
I'm suspecting Samuel was bought by the Moroccan.

The most stupid penalty I have ever witnessed in a football match.

In fairness to Senegal with regards to your point, they hosted in 1992 and cheated nobody. They did not win.

Also, Nigeria was even cheated in the final in Lagos as co-host in 2000. Nigeria cheated nobody.
That's why i said ALMOST every host wins it, I'm aware of your point boss.

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.
ok what about d penalties what did U still have to say about that one was chikwueze paid?

They didn’t treat people like this
Re: AFCON 25: Senegal Refuse To Train, Send Complaints To CAF Ahead Of Morocco Final by Mirasteel: 1:42pm On Jan 17
I hope CAF doesn't do ojoro and let Senegal win because they will want Morocco to win by all means.

same will be said if Nigeria or any country u belongs to host a tournament. I watched all or 95% of afcon, I never see where Morocco robbed people. Even with their style of play alone, you should know they are trying their best.
Re: AFCON 25: Senegal Refuse To Train, Send Complaints To CAF Ahead Of Morocco Final by Love800(m): 1:52pm On Jan 17
I know. But Senegal will still win.

I appreciate.

How can people seeing your training affect yout performance?

Some teams in Europe use same training ground before matches. And some are so close, that you can see everything from a high building

Go and train and play football abeg. This one na excuse in case them lose

Re: AFCON 25: Senegal Refuse To Train, Send Complaints To CAF Ahead Of Morocco Final by correctguy101(m): 3:22pm On Jan 17
I know and understand what you mean brother. I even spoke about it before the match and hoped the boys and their management would expect it and find a way to beat the odds against them. It's demoralizing, true and it can even affect their output in a penalty shoot out. I jhus dey talk as I know how to. Beating the odds against you and rubbing it all in the eyes of those against you has some kinda beauty no one can deny.. Whatever, the milk don spoil already, they couldn't be disappoint the ref and all those expecting their failure, do make e rest.

Prince16:
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!
Re: AFCON 25: Senegal Refuse To Train, Send Complaints To CAF Ahead Of Morocco Final by Prince16: 3:24pm On Jan 17
No need arguing with them biko; when caf/fifa reason your matter, e don set for u be that!

The problem is that CAF will pretend like they are not hearing. The antics of the Moroccans is very nauseating. There is fair play in their dictionary
Re: AFCON 25: Senegal Refuse To Train, Send Complaints To CAF Ahead Of Morocco Final by steveodo(m): 4:34pm On Jan 17

CAF is a corrupt organization in Africa. You wanna tell me they didn't know this before now? This is how they bring bad names to our continent. How on earth will you allocate only 2 VVIP tickets to a finalist.....tuehhh
Re: AFCON 25: Senegal Refuse To Train, Send Complaints To CAF Ahead Of Morocco Final by Insectkiller: 8:59pm On Jan 17
CAF is fra*0*ud...

You could see most Nigeria big-shot players refused to play in the third-place match..
because that's the only way to expressed their dissatisfaction about the wrong officiating by the Ghanian and South African referee in the match btw Nigeria vs Morocco...

CAF Morocco 2025 officiating is very bad...
They should have hand over the trophy to Morocco without making other teams stressed themselves..

F**k this d*ickhead tournament called CAF Nations cup...

blowjohn:
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.
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!
We just hope it would be better and not as clear as the past.
Re: AFCON 25: Senegal Refuse To Train, Send Complaints To CAF Ahead Of Morocco Final by Predictor3: 6:26am On Jan 18

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.
We like giving excuses too much in this country. A south African was put in charge of VAR, and what wrong var call did he make against Nigeria?
Did the Ghanaian refree blow for a penalty kick against you or did he give the Moroccans a penalty kick against you?
Was there a corner kick the linesmen deny you? Did they also cancel any goal you scored or allowed Morocco score an offside goal?
Did they also make you lose your penalty kicks?
Are they also the ones that put Oshimen to sleep on the field?
We just like looking for excuses all the time

You forgot to add the part where a Nigerian defender handled the ball in the 18 yard box and the ref ignored the calls of the Moroccans 🤣
Excuses everywhere.

Inconsistency in calls is a moral dampener.

Calling fouls for Morocco over the same fouls that he did not call for Nigeria.

We lost. We were clearly outplayed.
If the penalty call he ignored when a Nigerian player handled the ball in the box was done to Nigeria we will still be talking about it till tomorrow. We're not a serious nation and it shows in the way we always give excuses
