That was the right decision.

It was wrong for him to tell his players to boycott the game. It would have caused so many embarrassment to CAF and Africa in general.

So the bias officiating is not an embarrassment.

Both are disgraceful. I have been on the bed since morning because I got sick when the game was paused.

That's for you to know how that charade affected some of us

Diaz deliberately threw away the penalty just to change people's perspectives

gerrardomendes:
Their plans to rig it in favor of the Moroccans has failed,,hence thier frustrations. If that penalty was taken immediately, Morocco would have won. The chaos was necessary. It destabilized Dias and he made the wrong choice.

For your mind abi? their state of the art stadium infrastructures are just too appealing to those football power houses. Their pitches are quite good for good flowing football

spiSeyi:
CAF needs to sanction Morocco for encroachment with they did to Nwabali, Mendy and others. The next AFCON in Morocco should be boycotted by the major powerhouse in Africa football

PAPE THIAW is a hero.
They can suspend him all they want but he will hold his head high as the man with balls that looked a cheat in the eye and told the cheat and bully "go to hell"
His nation will be proud of him for resisting a bully that wants to rob them of their glory in 2026
If they like they can take the Nations cup from them, the fact remains that Senegal went to Morocco, conquered and defeated CAF and Morocco shenanighans. Won on the night, resisted being robbed and exposed the thieves for what they are

The coach of Senegal has apologized but Nigerians still carry it for head because of our loss against Morocco the way some people are still feeling 2023 presidential election.

FOOTBALL is different from POLITICS.

Such a shameful host

All the nonsense Moroccans were doing including their officials, CAF no see.

Please what's the punishment for the referee for that poor performance.

Respect to Mane, such a top class player

How was it poor. It was an authentic penalty. Besides, you saw diaz hollering and screaming. Not like Morroco was going to allow the ref

Re: CAF Suspends Senegal Coach Pape Thiaw Over AFCON Final Walk-off Protest by Lekan239(m): 8:02pm On Jan 19

I was waiting for this news. On a serious note, they shouldn't have given Senegal the cup, how can u spend 30min of the pitch not playing at your own will. Thry should be sanctioned for that, if not many nation will learn thay they can get away with such

Morocco was protected in this tournament and many officiating goes against there opponents, but this not the first we are experiencing this sort of officiating in football and it wont be the last either.

My conclusion, Senegal should be striped and the title give to the third place team.

Everything about Africa always dey biased. AFCON officiating was very poor, maybe the referees and VAR referees are inadequately trained.

Go sit down my friend. CAF itself is an embarrassment to Africa. How can u rob your fellow African in broad day light and you sit there to type trash. If it's not embarrassing itself, why no African referee in previous world cup? Why allow pettiness and bribery/corruption mar your football Associations? Y no goal line technology? You and CAF should hide your head in shame and do the needful. Embarrassment my foot

Morrocans should also be investigated and sanction appropriately. From the players to the coaching staffs

They all behaved like spoilt brats. They repeatedly took the personal effects of the opposing teams for no justifiable reasons.

Malawi is in Southern Africa, Morocco is in north Africa and share border with Spain.

Outplay Nigeria but they couldn't score or win us in open play. Penalty could have gone either way.

No matter the lapse you see in the officiating, you can't call your players out.

Very ridiculous coach, he deserve to be expelled from football forever

At Japan Korea WC, Korea was so assisted against Spain, Italy

In 2010, lampand goal was controversially cancelled against Germany

And England lost the match

Serious sanctions needs to be given to Senegal fa, the coach

[quote author=cr7lomo post=138194832]Na today u start to de watch football...what Senegal did was totally unprofessional

If all teams start to react by a walk off pitch due to disputed decisions, then the game will be in trouble....

All teams have faced bad decisions against them or disputed decisions... what that coach did was very bad in football and that move ended up affecting the outcome of the game

What has done?...
Except encourage bad decisions by referees that aren't punished.
Rules may need to be made about such an incident which wouldn't have been considered if not for this courageous showing by senegal.

Such a cheating host as Morocco shouldn't be indulged!!😏😤😡

CAF is undoubtedly a very USELESS, CORRUPT, IRRESPONSIBLE AND SHAMEFUL Body. You are quick to sanction and penalize an obviously maligned and badly treated Coach, yet you saw how demonic your Refs were and how useless their officiating was without any Open rebuke or apologies on their behalf. E no go Better for all of una for that CAF. As
GOD will have it, Senegal won and that's pure vindication not just to them but to the entire Africa whose joy these imbecilic Refs took. 99 days for the thief and 1 day for the owners. Africa, even North Africans are grateful on the outcome. If una like, make una suspend the man, he's still an AFCON double winner. Awon werey

Mehnn watching some AFCON clips on IG you go know say Mendy and Nwabali faced physical and spiritual torture from these Moroccans o. Those guys were keeping under very unsafe circumstances that wasn't broadcasted on TV.
