Congratulations to Ghana for being the second team in the history of the can 2008 to play with 12 players after Guinea. The 12th player is no doubt the referees, the south African Jerome with Guinea and now the turn of this disgrace Gambian referee, that played the scenario as it’s supposed to be. Watch the game again, and see what I’m talking about. Refused the goal of 1-1, and whistled every little tackle for ghana. Didn’t gave a penalty kick in favor of sektioui after being held locked in the surface of operations…and on and on….Guinea and Ghana don’t need any push from anybody… The conclusion here is that most African referees are not qualified , corrupted, don’t help soccer evolution in Africa with any means what so ever. We’re witnessing here discrimination of a different nature against north African teams. It’s a shame that a team that worked very hard to be rewarded in this manner by an idiot and corrupted referee……..

the ref was bad, but u can’t only blame the refree. the two goals that ghana had were fair and square.

When your team is down and then they score the goal to square things up and that goal gets refused…How is your morale then ??? The referee eihter makes the game goes fair and square or he ruins it….Unfortunately I don’t give respect anymore to African referees it’s a disaster…The african football will take centuries and centuries to be professional…As long as we have mediocre referees, our football will never advances….When you watch other leagues like europeans for example…You might spot couple mistakes but not for 90 minutes of the game…..It’s a shame what happened to the moroccan team…In the end there’s nothing that can be done to restore things up, but waiting for centuries to come….

Alright. Your team lost. You go off on a rant about how the refs screwed you and how he was in cahoots with the Ghana team. Look, man, you can definitely make that argument (I don’t think you’re right, but that’s besides the point), but if you’re gonna do it, show you’ve really thought about it. Talk about possible solutions. As it stands, this is a drunk rant. Some of it is just incomprehensible, but language is not a huge problem. Plain unabashed anger kinda is.

Tamim’s blog is one I doubted at first but it’s actually been one of the most fun to read. He’s overzealous about Egypt but in a constructive way, not a spiteful way!

And lol… “Don’t walk away with your evasive opinions……….” sounds either really badass, or really ridiculous depending on how you say it.

While Ghana criticised its team and players when they played poorly against Namibia and Guinea. Morrocoo after playing horribly and poorly and losing to Ghana instead blame the referee. Look to be honest to you watch the game again and Morrocoo has their Goal keepper to thank for not conceding more goals. Enough of blind patriotism and lets be objective in our accessment. Does it mean any time we lose to a sub Saharan AFRICAN TEAM we were robbed. To your information sub Saharan African TEAMS also feels robbed when they lose in North Africa.

Issa is right, without some absolutely incredible saves from the Moroccan keeper, it would have been a blowout. Morocco has to play better for the argument that the referee threw the game to hold up.

By the way, was it the linesman who made the offsides call, or the head referee?
