Morocco are not true Africans and behave like colonizers. The script was for them to win it but they were out to shame. The world sees Senegal as Africa champion. It's high time another body is created and Morocco removed. They should go play Asian league. |

Humans are sentimental and biased. No one really cares about injustice, we only complain when we're at the receiving end. |

Can’t imagine how they’re that shameless to want to even contemplate accepting the decision when they were unquestionably beaten on the field of play! ! Its like getting a sound and thorough beating of your life by a opponent in the boxing ring, then because the organisers and ruling body of the sport don’t want to offend your arrogance and sense of superiority and entitlement, they go on to lift you up from the canvas where you lay knocked out and declare you the winner on some ‘technicality’! Which swollen face will you use to collect the belt!? |

Gbadugbakun:There is a stipulated time for walk offs ...if it hits 10mins ...u forfeit...some Portuguese players left the pitch for a few mins , but only walked to the bench , their goalkeeper dint walk off ... so thats a different case |

tophumble:This has nothing with Senegal having to know about the rule. The referee decision on the pitch is final. If he had awarded Morocco victory on the pitch, then it is understandable. But he didn't and allowed play to continue which is final and evidence-based. Anything outside the pitch is null and void, that is why VAR was introduced for better clarity.Or shouldn't the ref have known the rule?? Many countries/clubs have had decisions taken wrongly against them, including one African nations cup match Nigeria had against Cameroon I think, where the ball crossed the line following a penalty but the ref ruled it didn't cross the line and the decision stood. Many instances like that. So CAF is 100% wrong on this one. |

CAF is confused. You knew you had a rule when the Senegalese players went off the pitch in protest,but you still allowed them to continue the game when they came on the pitch again! They even played extra time! Motsepe should just go and face his gold business in South Africa— enough damage done already! Senegal is the rightful champion. |

Preshhottie:Gander not gender. And while you are correct, the phrase you quoted “What is good for the Jews is good for Uganda” is word play and a reference to when Benjamin Netanyahu’s brother, Jonathan Netanyahu, led an Israeli raid into Uganda to free Jews held hostage there by Palestinian “t e r r o r r i s t s” |

DeLaRue:And you think there’s more cultural similarities between Morocco and the Middle East? Moroccans are actually more similar to Southern Spain than to anywhere in the Middle East |

cr7lomo:Why did the referee allow the game to continue when the Senegalese players eventually came on the pitch again? Did he forget about the rule? Trust me,this is a big fishbone the caf can't swallow— it's a flawed decision. Senegal is the rightful champion as it stands. |

tophumble:There's no effing rules here. That rule is only empowered by the referee. He will end the game, and write that report. But he didn't. The penalty was awarded, Morocco missed it. They progressed to extra time, Senegal scored a goal. And won. The referee only captured other infringements during play in his reports, and both teams got their sanctions. So I don't see Morocco keeping this their emailed trophy. The who is who in football are already condemning it. |

Let's see how they'll defend this at CAS if Senegal use it in their appeal. Cheats have no place in our beloved beautiful game. Rubbish and Morocco! |

tophumble:Senegal will win the appeal. They just need to remind the board of what the useless Moroccan team did exactly fifty years ago. what is good for the goose is also good for the gander. With that, CAF will be on the spotlight. very foolish body. |

callmetade:Why should the Senegalese return the Cup and medals? Morocco lost that final to Senegal . Period . Is Morocco truly an African country? Are they not arabs who overran a black African territory and made the land their home thousands of years ago? Moroccans have black minority tribes among them who are true natives of the land. Ditto for Algeria, Tunisia and Egypt. |

ferhyntorlah:That's a different saying. We're talking of "good" not "sauce" Correct way: "What is good for the Jews is good for Uganga" |
