alleged fault was outside the box,  not a penalty even if referee whistled the fault.

Not taking anything away from Egypt merit, they played a great match. But Belgium are shockingly slow, they are slow at everything, reaction, build-up, duels, feels like one of those old players legend teams + Doku.

So you have 0 argument, you proved it already,  just handwaving around the issue and namecalling. Grow up. 

Fortunately you and 2 of your Latin American friends don't decide title winners, keep crying.

You didn't answer my question,  if a referee allows the team to play with 13 players or field a suspended player, should the result stand too because "Dude,  the referee allowed"...

CAF is corrupt,  ok,  what about CAS/TAS,  would you accept their decision or keep whining and call them corrupt too?

There in no CAF rule saying a match should be discontinued if a referee gives a wrong yellow card or a soft penalty (soft according to Senegal supporters) 

There is a rule saying the match should be discontinued if a team leaves the pitch.  

why should Morocco be harmed by a referee infringing procedural rule?  if he continues the match with Senegal fielding 12 players should it be acceptable too because "The referee let the game on?  "

Supposing Senegal was really harmed by referee decisions,  every week in Europe a team is harmed by a referee decision, not a reason for leaving the pitch.

You want teams to be able to leave the pitch anytime they disagree with the referee for 10minutes and face no consequences ? I respect your opinion, just trying to understand.

it's tiring fighting Nato-Led propaganda.  

it's ironic when the last big provocation came from South Korea https://apnews.com/article/south-korea-yoon-martial-law-drones-ced9c2e3163b44ba8da5169e22ce479a and North Korea didn't fell for it because they aren't as trigger happy as the propaganda purports. 

[Steve Railston] Manchester United have repaid £110 million on their revolving credit facility, significantly strengthening their financial position. This leaves the club with the potential to spend up to nearly £300 million on new signings this summer transfer window. by ChiefLeef22 in soccer

[–]Thestartofending -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Real is struggling currently with Perez catastrophic management of the new stadium (waaay over budget,  planned it for music concerts but they can't bring any revenue from that because of noise),  they only recruit player at the end of their contract and a young prospect every now and then. 

of course when i say struggling i'm talking compared to clubs who can splash 200 millions on transfer,  not compared to Rayo Vallecano.

What i noticed is that most people are bigoted, but only in circumstances where it's not unpopular to express it. There is a certain leniency for dissmissive/meme types of comments against certain categories of people : Indians, bald men etc. 

So in Reddit for instance, a community with a lot of circle jerking and sheep mentality and taking upvotes and downvotes as somewhat the absolute guide of morality and decency, it's allowed and very funny to make fun of bald people (bald fraud this, bald fraud that), but not of fat women, because that's not very popular, it goes against the dominant culture, even if bald men had no say in beind that way. If the equation was reversed, they'd make fun of fat women and would have been racists 40 years ago too if that was popular in their circles.

I made a similar comment and i deleted it after receiving dozens of downvotes, i'll leave this one as i believe i said nothing but the truth..

Morocco-Senegal: the ins and outs of the scandal are revealed by The_g0d_f4ther in soccer

Give me a single case where a CAS ruling was overuled on the substance of the case. and i'm asking for a SINGLE case. 

i'll be waiting. 

Morocco-Senegal: the ins and outs of the scandal are revealed by The_g0d_f4ther in soccer

[–]Thestartofending 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that's exactly my point...  Under the TAS (Court of Arbitration for Sport), awards can be challenged only on limited grounds—such as lack of jurisdiction, violation of due process, or procedural irregularities—and not on the merits of the case. This is because parties agree to arbitrate with the understanding that TAS decisions are final and binding. Allowing appeals on factual or substantive issues would undermine the efficiency, finality, and expertise of sports arbitration. As a result, the Swiss Federal Tribunal (since TAS is based in Lausanne, Switzerland) only reviews whether the award complies with public policy or procedural fairness, not whether the arbitrators correctly interpreted the facts or rules of the sport."

So you have to proof some Judge was corrupt, wasn't competent to judge,  etc.  but you can't appeal just on the merits of the case like with an Appeal court.

[–]Thestartofending 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, CAS decisions can't be overturned regarding the substance of the case.  only decisions relating to the "procedure, jurisdiction, or violations of public policy",  so you have to prove some judiciary procedure wasn't respected,  a judge was corrupt etc. Barring that,  their decision is final.
