It was all completely bonkers. This makes it even more bonkers.

The moment they walked off the pitch was the moment they forfeited the match. But everything was just so surreal.

The longest VAR decision...

That made me laugh.

It looks like Morroco have deeper pockets. Who wants to win like that? Football, and especially the international football (including the Champions League) has become so horrible in so many ways.

I wonder if Milan will get the same punishment for walking off v Udinese

Absolute farce .

I don’t know anything about that. I will do some research. Did they walk off because of a racial incident, if that was the case then that is completely different scenario? Players being racially abused is aberrant and they have every right to make a stand.

No sporting integrity doing that now. Makes a mockery of the whole tournament.

It’s like taking 1966 from England as the ball clearly did not cross the line, and supporters invaded the pitch so goal 4 should have been chalked off.

Does anyone know where you can watch the actual footage of the controversial refereeing decisions leading up to the Senegalese team’s decision to walk off the pitch in protest?

I’ve tried searching for it on the web but I’ve drawn a blank unfortunately.
