Fortunate to work with a guy from Morocco. His sister had some international subscription. She shared her password so we could catch up to like the 78 minute on his phone. Then had to get back to work.

Thank you Redpop4 for reminding me of 3rd place game.

No one is headed back currently.


Final is the 18th.

Than sadly we have to wait 2 more years for next AFCON.

But then we get two in a row
2027 and 2028!

Marmoush and Salah are only players for Egypt to miss PK.
The Saudi based players scored.
Nigeria get bronze.

The penalty was the correct call, however, five minutes before Senegal scored, and they called it back and it should’ve been reviewed and counted

when the senegal coach walked up for his the post match press conference all of the moroccan reporters stood up and walked out

oh don’t forget the b/u keeper having to fend off moroccan ball boys from getting Mendy’s towel throughout the match, something the ball boys were successful at in a previous match

this match was something else

How does the ref not get involved.

Hakimi throwing Mendy’s towel into the stands.

A lot of poor sportsmanship on the side of Morocco throughout tournament.

Ball boys messing with multiple other teams equipment.


Reports of not providing other teams with adequate travel accommodations.


Journalist walking out.

Reports of unfair ticket allotments.


Reports of poor training grounds conditions provided by Morocco.


On top of that. Morocco was awarded the fair play award.


WC cup games there will be fun.
