Why did they walk off the pitch anyway and surely they should have been kicked out when they did walk off the pitch as they made it he guy wait 29 mins to take it .

It was a very big call to give the pen ? very soft in my book

Look, if the player dives and has cheated to earn the penalty you don't need 29 minutes sitting around with people getting in your head, For me, somebody told him maybe it's better to miss after seeing the replays and him diving

it was never a pen

You applaud them walking off because they got a bad refereeing decision but…they came back. They didn’t make a stand over principal, they threw a hissy fit, made a fool of themselves and 99% of the time they come back, Brahim scores the penalty and they lose.

Personally I don’t think the refereeing controversies would even crack a top 10 of unfair moments to happen in finals in the last 25 years.

Yeh you could be right. It was the ball boys, officials, Moroccan captain and the keepers towel that concerns me. Not one official stepped in. That’s very dodgy

Just seen Brahim's panenka back. There is something seriously dodgy about that. I've never seen a panenka taken like that. You can clearly see what he's going to do as he runs up.

even weirder for me is the senegal players' reaction. they dont even seem moved by the save, as if they expected it. all very strange

Saw that this morning.

Disgraceful behaviour to be honest, are there any officials at this tournament?

The Moroccan player that got involved too should be absolutely with their behaviour.

Eye opening re reading this thread and the decision to reverse the winners adds to the suspicion of corruption.
