Although AFCON rules state walking off or refusing to play for a prolonged period is grounds for elimination, the decision to strip Senegal of the AFCON title two months after their trophy lift is a bad look for CAF.
It should be within the power of the officials in real time to disqualify a team, but it's a hollow victory for Morocco to appeal and win in this manner, weeks after the trophy lift.
Morocco accepted Senegal's return from their 10-minute walk off, gladly resumed play and took their penalty.
Missing it, losing the game, then appealing to gain the trophy doesn't sit right, even if by the letter of the law there are grounds to do so.
🚨 BREAKING: Roberto De Zerbi and Olympique Marseille part ways with immediate effect.

Theory test once, practical test with manual, once just passed few mins ago.. I watched those YouTube videos like my life depended on it . Knowing fully well if I fail I can’t get dates as soon as possible
@alwaysplaying11@PereEgbi If it’s not a competitive game , and the stakes are not high, you can give others chance to prove themselves. But if it is, why will u drop your best card. It’s just like using a formula 1 car to race a Toyota . The squad depth should be for injuries or substitutions
@PereEgbi Squad depth true . But no sane person will bench a Ronaldo or Messi in a must win game . Because they are thinking tactics if u were a coach you will definitely not have the mind to do that, knowing fully well its a must win match. I will rather my best first b4 over thinking.
@lcfckeiran@CFCJnR Naaaa this has got to be a clown post . Ever since Maresca left. What happened to Leicester?? They have gone down hill. Can’t even battle it out in the championship. But maresca won it in first trial . The boys played good. Albeit few games were they didn’t. Maresca was good
Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis has asked the club’s board to rename the Bridgford Stand to ‘The John Robertson Stand’.❤️🌳
🗣️ “This week is one of profound sadness for everyone connected with Nottingham Forest as we come together to mourn the passing of John Robertson — a true legend of this great club in every sense of the word. I extend my sincerest condolences to his family, his friends, and all who loved him.
