Very unfair actually!
Which one is forfeited the match following a walk-off…when that one start? Is it inside the constitution?
Omo caf is like e get wetin una no dey tell us…
Host and win, even by crooked means. Instruct referees to hand out made-up penalties; if those dastardly acts do not work, seize the cup from legitimate winners and hand over to hosts.
I am ashamed of what CAF has done to African football.
Mosepe and infantino at work. Shame to CAF and bigger shame to Morocco FA
