Morocco coach angrily rejects AFCON ref bias as Nigeria semifinal looms

๐Ÿค” Morocco's coach Walid Regragui thinks his team isn't getting any special treatment from the refs, but honestly, it feels like some questionable calls went their way. Like that one penalty against Cameroon where Bryan Mbuemo clearly missed the ball... ๐Ÿ† Still, he's got a point - playing in front of 65k fans at home can definitely give you an edge. The stats do show Morocco has been scoring more goals than their opponents this tournament ๐Ÿ“Š
 
๐Ÿค” Morocco's Regragui says referees are just trying to keep up with all the chaos on the pitch ๐ŸŸ๏ธ๐Ÿ’ช

I mean, come on guys, it's AFCON! You know what you're getting into. All those physical battles and passionate fans can be tough for refs to handle ๐Ÿ˜…. And let's not forget, Regragui is right that stats show Morocco as a better team - they did beat Cameroon 2-0 in the quarterfinals after all ๐Ÿ“Š.

It's like saying a footballer got a penalty just because they were lucky enough to have a free kick ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ. Referees are human too, and sometimes they make mistakes. It's not about bias, it's about a tough match with lots of intensity ๐Ÿ”ฅ.

I'm more worried that the refs will get it right for Nigeria vs Morocco in the semis ๐Ÿคž, but hey, that's just my 2 cents ๐Ÿ“. Let's just enjoy the beautiful game and hope the refs do their best to keep up ๐Ÿ˜„.
 
Yooo, refs in major tournaments can be super sketchy ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ‘€ Morocco's coach makes some valid points tho, stats do show they've been playing better lately. Not saying he's trying to spin things, but it's true his team is always on the edge with penalties and stuff. I mean, 65k crowd at home doesn't hurt, but also can't ignore how many times they got screwed by refs in other matches ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ
 
I'm tellin' ya, referees gotta get their act together! ๐Ÿคฏ I mean, come on, two penalties against Cameroon that weren't even given? It's like, what's goin' on here? ๐Ÿ˜‚ And then Regragui says his team was wronged by the refs too? Like, Adam Masina almost got sent off for a elbow to the face?! ๐Ÿคช I get it, Africa Cup of Nations can be a wild ride, but some refereeing decisions are just plain whack! ๐Ÿ˜ก Still, gotta give credit to Regragui for standin' up for his team, even if he's not entirely convinced about the whole referee bias thing. ๐Ÿ™
 
omg did u see that interview with walid reggrai? like he's literally saying we're better than our opponents and we deserve our wins no matter wut the ref decides ๐Ÿคฏ meanwhile, nigeria fans are already going crazy thinking wot else is gonna happen in this match ๐Ÿ˜…
