Dynamo123:
Senegal threatened to walk off he was told to miss the kick

Dem suppose slap you

The best team so far by farrrr in the tournament is Morocco. Stop saying nonsense and giving excuses like the average Nigerian

otipoju:
I don't like ignorant people ooo.

According to FIBA laws, that ball was not a foul period. Contact with a part of the body before touching the hand is not a foul if the initial touch changes the trajectory of the ball before it touches the hand.

Kicking the ball into the crowd in protest at a referee decision is an automatic yellow which the referee refused to call.

A throw in in the attacking third against Bruno was called when the ball did not cross the line.

The yellow card against bassey was given when he was ahead of Diaz and Diaz was clearly pulling his shirt. Not a foul.

I can go on and on. But it does not change anything. Morocco has invested heavily into facilities as and can host any competition at short notice.

They have not won the nations cup in 50 years and CAF is determined to make them win this one.

No one says Morocco did not play well, but they are receiving plenty of help from CAF.

All the teams they played against are complaining of the same thing. It is not coincidence, it is deliberate

I know. But it seems you are the ignorant one here, about how Nigerians think. They would still be talking about it till tomorrow that we had a penalty denied us. A biased refree would have blown for penalty only to be called to the var later.
The officiating that day was not unfair and didn't contribute to the loss. Period

otipoju:
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

SisterAnn:
So if his brother has died, not physically fit or not in the country, how do you expect him to show his face according to you?

you are now insinuating for him. 🤣 Did he say all this?

Most of those who still enter bet9ja shops to book tickets are semi illiterates. This business idea is bad because most people bet on their phones now 🤣

SisterAnn:
So belonging to his brother means belonging to him? Don't just argue blindly, present your proof.

The brother that didn't show face 🤣
You people are gullible sha

TGreatGatsby:
The point is the prudence it takes to stay away from gathering material things beyond what you need. We need people who seek to serve rather than greedily gather all in the name of “agreement is agreement”

So his Next Supermarket in that same Abuja is not a material thing?

AAA593:
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.

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.
Shebi Chukwueze was paid too

jrobbins:
Abi, just give them another stadium and drones will be over head watching.

I thought training is for fitness. Tactics are being discussed inside. Senegal just dey find agenda.

Don't mind them. They are intimidated already and have already conceded defeat. They're just giving us reasons and excuses to understand their loss in advance

otipoju:
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

Kalulu44:
You may not have used it agreed, but don't tell me you didn't see people use it, if you didn't see don't also tell me you didn't hear about it. Except you don't read papers or watch television is

I never said I didn't hear people used it. My cousin visited on holiday around that time and said instead of firewood that we were using they were using something called saw dust stove in Osun state..

But I never saw it. Up till today I don't know how they "operated" it. I think it had to do with the fact that there was no saw mill anywhere close to my neighborhood

Kalulu44:
If you didn't use it doesn't mean many people didn't use it for you to see. Except you want to tell me you lived in Maitama, V.I or GRA of any states then

Not everyone saw it. I lived in Eleyele Ibadan then. I think it was around 94. Our compound was large and not floored so we could use firewood instead.

ycat:
I was recently told in a group that Nairaland no longer allows post that are in support of president Tinubu on important topics especially the ones that punch holes into the opposition narratives. And that it’s still on low heat and pro Apc will be completely silenced right before the elections because the opposition are now running nairaland. Just know that quite a few people are thinking about you A LOT!

Well, Seun has become a big problem, he has helped the enemy to use nairaland to wage wars on Yoruba and has caused Yoruba to lose the information war. Yes Yoruba are docile, but people can see the role Seun played and still playing in destroying Yoruba. This is not about asking for a special treatment, it’s about a level playing field, there’s a reason why RUMBLE is still the best place to be, they understand what freedom of speech is.

Seun also has a lawsuit in his future because if he’s censoring certain posts before they hit the board, then nairaland is not a platform but a publisher with a lot of liabilities. And before they say Yoruba are dragging a fellow Yoruba and a successful one at that, people can see that we have suffered in his hand. Even if the State Dept. is helping you now, trust me, they will leave you high and dry when they’re done using you since you don’t make them money and China has almost cornered most of their interests in Nigeria except the military base.

These are previous 2 of my comments that were not allowed to post .

You are taking things, yourself and nairaland too seriously.

Wickedtruths:
Like CC Onoh and Ojuku as per Bianca.

🤣

AMINDA:
Tinubu will destroy the APC with this inordinate desire to have everyone in his party. There are too many clash of egos and the party will implode close to and after the primaries. Ganduje and Kwankwaso cannot co-exist in one party as at today. Tunubu is just potentially making an enemy out of Kwankwaso for little to no gain but with a lot to lose.

Is Kwakwanso in APC?

eslek5:
Their change of style caused it and I still don't know why they had to change the confirmed attacking style that got us so many goals already. I d prefer that we'd even lost with 90mims play our normal attacking football honestly

The Moroccans no allow Nigeria play anything. It wasn't about changing style

Winterhaven:
I know Nigerians will resort to blaming the ref after the super chickens get dumped out of the tournament...

Always making noise when they win, but are never magnanimous in defeat.

Don't mind them. Nothing was wrong with the officiating. What's wrong with accepting that Morocco was better?

Nothing was wrong with the officiating. Always looking for excuses. The better team won

LordReed:
Abeg leave story. His father already made him a billionaire so money is not an issue for him.

But the father is still collecting offering. Is money an issue for the father? 🤔

Kushites:
I would certainly count STARTING HUMAN CIVILISATION IN AFRICA AND WORLDWIDE as an ''Achievement".

My goodness.

Forum of weirdos.

Do you even know that IRON SMELTING, the technology of extracting metal from ore using specific heating principles, was invented in Lejja Nsukka, Nigeria in 2650 BCE as carbon-dated?

Do you know that IRON SMELTING is the technology responsible for the existence of cars, buses, trains, phones, aeroplanes, fridges, cutlery?

Do you know that MATHEMATICS was invented in CONGO?

Go and read about the Lebombo Bone, the world's oldest mathematical object, carbon-dated to 25,000 BCE, and showing evidence of the knowledge of PRIME NUMBERS!

In other words, the entire world would still be IN THE STONE AGE without our illustrious Ancestors.

In CAVES.

How about that for an "Achievement"?

So tell us, Mr Africanus, why Africa is behind the others today development wise.

Na Lookman suppose to dey dash did one money

Unlike his father.
This is highly commendable

anonimi:
How are two unproven allegations an answer to the question of whether Nigeria is better off during PDP deregulation and privatisation prosperity years than our country is now

Don't be silly. You don't have to be this desperate. Unproven cases indeed. 🤣

And how was Nigeria better off then with fuel scarcities every now and then? Besides I thought you were talking about corruption and looting at the local, state and federal levels. Keep shifting goal posts

anonimi:
When was the last time you reviewed your comparative adjectives of:

- Good, Better and Best

- Bad, Worse and Worst


In 1999 were things as bad as they are now in 2023 in terms of looting at the local, state and federal levels

You must be very young or completely uninformed. $16bn was appropriated for power industry under PDP. It was stolen. $12bn was given to Anenih under PDP it was stolen. No infrastructure built in 16 years. I'm beginning to think I'm conversing with one of these uninformed hateful headless mob.

anonimi:
Do you mean how it is in the Nigeria of Buhari and Tinubu's A-looter Propaganda Conmen, APC where they are borrowing more money than PDP presidents who gave us cheap petrol and better life in all aspects

It's not about APC or PDP or ADC, it's a Nigerian thing. Nigeria has had over $300bn stolen from its oil revenue over the years according to an Economist of London report as far back as 1999. I don't think APC nor Buhari nor Tinubu was in power then

dawnomike:
Even if he becomes the 13th man of the Moroccan team, if we play well behind doubts; victory will be ours!!!

A biased refree can kill the game for you. He can deny your team chances to score and help the other team. He can award wrong penalty calls against you and give unwarranted red cards to your players. Nigeria will likely lose this match

obi4eze:
So what happen to that Chairman who Dangote recently reported to EFCC for embezzling funds from his agency. Or has it been swept under the carpet as usual?

Nothing will happen to him besides losing his job. He will keep his stolen wealth and the story like you said has been swept under the carpet. That's how it is in Nigeria. We mooove

MufasaLion:
The Jews never liked the Christians. The Christians ate too gullible to know that especially the Nigerian Christians.

Most Nigerians are bush people. They don't know much

ikorodureporta:
At a point, we renamed him baba malu because of how he was fumbling in front of the post...

You said he made us lose tournaments and I asked you which one. You are here saying something else. The only miss I saw him do which was at a major tournament was against Italy at USA 94 and any striker could miss that chance

ikorodureporta:
Even Yekini wasn't that good... He missed many clear chances that wld have given us trophies....
Osimhen is clearly above him in finishing
It was the suppliers like oliseh & okocha that made him great

Like which one, Sir?
