Why is human nature so demonic inherently

They did not sanction/discipline the obviously compromised referee and now they're going after the coach?

Evil monkeys

Make nothing touch the trophy sha.

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
..and Morrocco should not be allowed to host African nations cup again..

CAF needs to sanction Morocco for encroachment with they did to Nwabali, Mendy and others. undecided The next AFCON in Morocco should be boycotted by the major powerhouse in Africa football
..CAF that has awarded Morrocco the fair team of the tournament
Re: CAF Suspends Senegal Coach Pape Thiaw Over AFCON Final Walk-off Protest by judewrites: 6:48am On Jan 20
To succeed, sometimes you need to take risks.

Senegal would have faced a hefty fine and suspension from the afcon if that match was cancelled and awarded to the Morrocans, nevertheless Coach pape's actions paid off.

However, we should always respect the higher authority.

Offpoint2020:
I think the referee is from Malawi and Morocco to Malawi is not far. You can even ride keke enter rabat.. moreover Nigerian people we visit him tomorrow for corruption
The referee is not from Malawi, he's from DR Congo.

How is Malawi to Morocco not far.
But where are you guys getting information from

How and watch 2002 world Cup... then u will know nothing happened compared to 2002
It's crazy how you have to go back nearly 24 years for that. Are you saying Africa is 24 years backwards?
Re: CAF Suspends Senegal Coach Pape Thiaw Over AFCON Final Walk-off Protest by CalabarPikin: 7:39am On Jan 20
QuinQQ:
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
And last minute goal by Senegal..huh?

Was it a right call by cancelling that goal..?

Oga 2002 ago is 24 year's apart.
That comparison is not balance.
This is 2026.
Does mean after 24 year's, AFCON officiating should still be compared to a poor officiating of 2002, a 24 year's ago error.
That means our football did not make any progress.
We should be up to date in our football.
Look at controversy and so much public talks about the recent AFCON
CAF must need to review the qualities of referees they bring to AFCON.

With all these your ranting the fact still remains they couldn't score against Nigeria. With all their so called shots at goal them still no score because we contain them. Them hold us and we also hold them.
Penalty na game of luck because it is not necessarily the better team that wins at penalty shootouts.

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.
Exactly! The Senegalese coach is a daredevil who calculated the costs carefully

FIFA should by all means desist from inviting Referees from Africa.. We Africans knows they are not capable and very corrupt.. For the sake of FIFA integrity

The referee stopped play BEFORE the goal.
Even VAR can't make it a goal.

they were biasing senegal shocked

would you seat there why someone dey jab person with knife?

helinues:
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.
Re: CAF Suspends Senegal Coach Pape Thiaw Over AFCON Final Walk-off Protest by frog12: 12:01pm On Jan 20
why d referee dey bias?
it doesn't happen all the time.

cr7lomo:
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
Re: CAF Suspends Senegal Coach Pape Thiaw Over AFCON Final Walk-off Protest by frog12: 12:03pm On Jan 20
is that so?

Love800:
Professionally, it was wrong to tell your players, staff to abandon the game and walk to the dressing room.

Politically, it was a leverage for the Senegalese to breakdown the morale of the opponents. It shaked the emotions of the Moroccans, prompting Diaz to miss that kick

Prophecy after occurrence. grin
If he had scored you'd say he'd have missed but the time-out gave him time to compose himself.
Also, they could have won in extra time and you'll say it was that "unfair" penalty and "stupid" walk-out that messed up Senegal!😅

If Morroco had won in extra time, you'd say the unfair penalty and officiating broke down the morale of the Senegalese! cheesy

TRUTH: Diaz DECIDED to do a Panenka and it failed. Probably dreamt about it and decided on doing it long before the game after watching hours and hours of Mendy!
Re: CAF Suspends Senegal Coach Pape Thiaw Over AFCON Final Walk-off Protest by Bahamas95(m): 1:29pm On Jan 20
Top teams in Africa should unite and boycott any future tournament taking place in North Africa, most especially Morocco to send a message to CAF.



CAF has been compromised.
Re: CAF Suspends Senegal Coach Pape Thiaw Over AFCON Final Walk-off Protest by Love800(m): 5:10pm On Jan 20
You maybe right though.

But then, it was a poor executed panenka. You see in the video that mendy have already gone down(moved) as daiz took the strike, but no speed in it to pass mendy, that was why he could recover fast to stop the ball.
Panenka supposed to have a little force so as to pass the keeper on time.

But low speed is part of the psychology behind Panenka, as demonstrated in this video:

I stand with the Senegalese coach.
Let Mosepe led CAF go and sit down!
The coach did the right thing given the obvious daylight robbery.
Re: CAF Suspends Senegal Coach Pape Thiaw Over AFCON Final Walk-off Protest by Love800(m): 9:50pm On Jan 20
Its a combination of both. Low speed together with high speed.
Didn't you see that the ball was without high speed! that was why mendy could retrieve back to stop the ball because he had already moved from his original standing position.

The psychology behind it is, not too fast(low speed) and not too slow(high speed).

In the video short you can see MJW couldn't hit Kimbo Slice (RIP) when his punches were fast. That's the psychology (which doesn't make sense)
