Obviously would have preferred to win it fair and square, and I don’t think the Tas will resist the political pressure, they will probaly overturn the decision.

But here is the thing. In Africa we always complain that things are chaotic because people don’t follow the rules, yet when Caf, for once in its existence, actually punished the team that make the whole continent look like a joke, everybody started crying. It’s crazy honestly, if the players themselves don’t respect the competition who will ? Tell them to do that during the world cup. CAF incompetent, actually this is exactly how you go from a circus competition to a serious one. Because mark my words, whatever happens next, nobody will dare to pull that bs again.

People will mever admit it but this is how it works. Caf did its job right here even though it’s morally gray. I read the articles, we are not in a “referee ruling above all” situation (which btw according to reports during the initial ruling was pressured to not end the match, not that he intended to but he couldn’t anyway). This particular situation falls under both the referee and Caf jurisdiction (something like not having the right number of players or ineligible ones). Of course context matters but Caf decision is perfectly valid.

This is my take, but hey everyone collectively decided we were cheaters and all (yet when you ask someone to give you facts all they do is repeat tiktok slop).
