daily-question

[surreal knoll]

The underdog outplayed them, bodo were more energetic tho, as they didn't have any league and cup fixtures ahead of their ucl games which gives bodo so much time to prepare.

[digital wing]

underestimating bodk

[daring snow]

Serie Arse in the big 2026

(inter are just a bad team ngl)

[dry plinth]

They are simply shit

all arrogants (look at L.Martinez and Chivu's mentality), ageing players (Sommer is 37 !!!) Bodø just outsmarted them

If you say that, you're meaning that the others are bad, and won't shine on ucl anytime

[mellow sandal]

underdog outolayed them

[solemn prairie]

Their tactics those matches weren't that great and they got outplayed

[haughty star]

Unserious A things

only washed uncs go to the league to ball out

[drowsy schooner]

Stole the words from my mouth

[haughty star]

Serie A ucl spots need to be reduced

[drowsy schooner]

Poor mentality, as an italian, but what's your take @quasi flare

[surreal folio]

Bodo are just better and inter is just ass

[covert reef]

they got walked out the park

[dapper perch]

it depends on, but bodö could lose too.

[frosty coral]

All credit to Bodo. Beating three massive European teams in one campaign is no fluke. Bodo outplayed and overpowered Inter.

[astral kettle]

Underdogs outplayed then

[normal nova]

underdogs outplayed them

[brittle arrow]

The only way I could do that was if you had to do a little more work to make it work I could just make the whole day a bit more fun to work with me 💦💦

[trail narwhal]

The underdogs outplayed them.

[elfin mirage]

Inter having difficulty breaking down low blocks, Individual errors, Inter played a congested fixture list with little rest, under pressure/missed chances and bodo playing well

[rapid coral]

Serie Ass is not a top 5 league

even ligue 1 is better than them 😭 💀 ☠️

[grand sentinel]

Inter Milan are ass
on a mission tho ✌️

[pliant atlas]

Bodo have been playing great football lately, their hold up play is exceptional

With their recent form its definitely not a fluke, Inter were not the best but Bodo could pull more serious upsets in the next rounds

[slim fern]

Just outplayed by Bodo/Glimt

[inner haven]

Definitely outplayed them, Inter has been looking clueless since Inzaghi’s departure

Question 255

Was Juventus unlucky to be eliminated after such a comeback in the second leg, or did Galatasaray fully deserve to advance?

<@&1392052021108146207>

[opaque finch]

Yep

[kindred trench]

unlucky

would have gone through in 2021 with away goals

[raw nimbus]

Crazy to think about it

[keen nimbus]

No

[dense schooner]

I mean, it was an unlucky moment for Juve, but a very lucky moment for Gala

[kindred trench]

best ucl comeback ever probably

3 goals down with 10 men

[night ruin]

Very unlucky, especially considering the circumstances of Kelly’s red

Not to mention, Galatasaray were truly awful from minute 1 to 90

[raw nimbus]

Yeah up there

[drowsy schooner]

Unlucky, Galatasaray underrated the game.

[marble ivy]

Kinda unlucky maybe, then again they did get owned in the first leg so yeah. Let's stick to unlucky tho

[unborn juniper]

I don't think Galatasaray shouldn't get to advance to the round of 16 because Juventus were pulling a comeback with hardwork but one player sold the match

[daring snow]

https://tenor.com/view/arteta-arsenal-premier-league-gunners-assna-gif-27686555

[slim fern]

Galatasaray deserved to advance 100%

[surreal knoll]

Unlucky

[dry plinth]

That was unlucky, they've done a big comeback

[rapid coral]

galatasaray deserved it

[covert reef]

didn't watch the game but juve were defo unlucky even with the lesser man

[digital wing]

juve opened their defense and played more offensively in extra time especially the end of the first half of extra time

[worthy glen]

Yea but it doesn't matter after the shit show in the first game and gala deserves credit for that first game

Overall a classic UCL encounter

[boreal rover]

What's the question?

[quasi flare]

^

[young yarrow]

Galatasaray deserve it from the first leg but in the return leg Juventus played the best they have ever played this decade, the red card was harsh so kind of feel bad in that sense. But as Chiellini would say "it's de history of de Juve"

[torn urchin]

Fully deserved

[shadow oxide]

paris vs chelsea

[drowsy schooner]

Paris Chelsea is way more intriguing than people think
Real - City ofc
Atleti Tottenham is an interesting one
But Bodo Sporting is the one i'm excited for the most

Bcz it is unpredictable as a game

On paper Sporting is better

They prepare games and treat every team like it's the game of their lives

Exactly like bodo

Question 258

Luis Enrique is the only manager besides Pep Guardiola to have won two trebles, and only the third coach in history, after Guardiola and Hansi Flick, to complete a sextuple. Considering his remarkable achievements so far, where would you rank him among the greatest managers of all time, and how does he compare to the best of the modern era?

<@&1392052021108146207>

[covert reef]

he's lurking around top 5-10

[charred walrus]

top 5

[haughty blaze]

Top five to ten of all time and and he is really close if not level to Pep and Anceloti in the modern game so top three

[cerulean beacon]

Not in my top 10,but his team's had played some great team football where every one shines

[raw nimbus]

Top 6-10 range

[tropic lance]

I think he’s top 10 but like towards the bottom

Amongst all the managers, for me, he’s ranked #7

[heady ermine]

Also first ever won "Sextuple " without the word cup😂

they wouldn’t be stuck on 5 champion’s leagues

yamal couldnt have been here

You're going to move every Barca fan to tears

@simple prawn I would like your answer on this

[opaque finch]

We want messi

[haughty star]

Butterfly effect maybe he doesn’t win the World Cup and Barcelona are not as competitive as they are rn

[frosty coral]

Let's see.

• Messi would've carried in the league and Koeman would've probably survived another season
• Xavi might have been hired a little bit later (Lamine does make his debut but not that early)
• Yeah Messi maybe doesn't win the WC in this timeline

[delicate quest]

Probably the WORST period of his career

[frosty coral]

Inter Miami would've remained a bottom tier club in the MLS

Busi, Alba and Suarez would've not played there if Messi stayed at Barcelona till the end

[raw nimbus]

100 days to go for the world cup #11-days-to-go message

[delicate quest]

Still, Barça would have been shit

[raw nimbus]

It was a very sad moment for barca fans
But his salary was so huge as well

The club probably doesn’t get to sign lewandowski, raphinha, kounde in 2022

[frosty coral]

Yeah losing Messi like that was sad

But

Massive credit to Laporta for making us competitive in such a short time after Messi's departure

[daring snow]

idk

hard to calculate

[charred mulch]

Couldn't care less next question

[median brook]

Maybe it would be the same, because he would eventually have gone to Saudi or MLS a couple of years later

[simple prawn]

lmaine doesnt play, koeman stays longer, barca not as good they are rn, psg still never won ucl

[regal shard]

Barca wouldnt drop to europa league for sure

but will be embarassed in Ro16/quarters of UCL

I think messi would help pedri more

yamal will spend more time on bench I assume

[rapid coral]

they would still not score 4 goals today 😭 🙏

[deft stirrup]

probably have broken records, left for saudi or mls (probably MLS) and then gone to newell's old boys

[exotic laurel]

They will never win the league

Until he leaves

[lapis nimbus]

Who knows? He didn't stay at Barca so I can't answer that 😴

Maybe his career would've been worse than it is now

Maybe barça wouldn't have had the success they had recently

[vague saddle]

Don't think it changes much for Barca

[worthy glen]

Barca would be much worse than they currently are

Like everything goes 3-4 years behind

Barca would have a lot of financial troubles

[young yarrow]

might have won the league last season

[frozen badger]

i would be happy

[heady ermine]

He would've won 6 more balon dors

Or 5 i mean

[rotund hatch]

they would have bagged at least one more UCL.
but yeah it would be the worst period of his career.
Barca doesn't become a poverty club.

Question 261

[dry plinth]

[slim fern]

Helping

[rotund bone]

harming

[junior blaze]

Depends on context
Helped a lot to teams like man united, harmed Juve
Overall the helping is bigger tbh

Studying data analysis in football and scouting data is fun icl

[winter wave]

Helping, only if it works alongside actual scouters and analysts. If it goes on to replace them, the game's gone.

[delicate quest]

Very obvious answer, helping

[sinful temple]

No idea helps a bit ig

[drowsy schooner]

Helping, even in new jobs perspective, if i don't get the work i dream of i want to become a tactical analyst

[drowsy schooner]

Exactly

[rapid coral]

harming is an understatement

we now have some of the so-called biggest clubs in the world going at each others throats over literal children because they ‘looked good in the datasets’

meanwhile if you are a talented baller but don’t fit the data parameters

Tottenham have the 9th-highest revenue in world football and are still in danger of relegation. If they get relegated this year despite having such a strong financial position, do you think it will be the most embarrassing moment for a club in modern football?

That Milan team was arguably stronger especially when you compare the squads each had
Our Inter team on Jose was almost on its last legs, one of the oldest UCL squads with players nearing the end of their primes
Ancelotti's milan team wayyyy underperformed in the league, not winning as many scudetti as it should be, especially considering that some all-timers were in the team, with many in their primes, but they did still win 2 UCL, and were in 3 UCL finals (including the ultimate bottle)
Through pure bias, our team with Mourinho I admire so much more, with the many comebacks we did especially in the 09-10 season and clinching every title in the end

What is your favourite moment from the Milan Derby matches?

<@&1392052021108146207>

When Inter lost 6-0 in the early 2000s

Has to be Inter 4-2 Milan in 2020

Best Milan derby I've watched live

[sinful temple]

Question 265

Kenan Yıldız is just 20 years old and is having a wonderful season. Yesterday, he both scored and assisted in Juventus’ 4–0 win. What are your opinions on his talent and performances this season? How good do you think he can be when he reaches the peak of his career?

<@&1392052021108146207>

[humble sorrel]

I think he will be one of the best Turkish players if he performs like yesterday and there are even more good performances not just that one

[frosty coral]

He should seek a move to a bigger or more stable club. Great talent but Juve atm isn't the place where he can be one of the best itw.

Question 271

PSG’s game against Nantes this weekend has been postponed by Ligue 1 to give them extra rest ahead of their UEFA Champions League knockout tie against Chelsea. Ligue 1 has often granted PSG this special privilege over the past few seasons. What are your thoughts on this practice? Do you think other leagues should adopt a similar approach, or should UEFA step in and enforce strict rules to prevent such advantages?

<@&1392052021108146207>

[hollow remnant]

you forgot to say that nantes chairman is a professional q$g glazer

[knotty yew]

It’s not just PSG who gets this advantage, and maybe the other leagues should just follow suit instead of crying

[fickle willow]

Uh idk

[hollow remnant]

• ligue 1 didn't do it it's nantes who accepted to postpone the game

[ocean fog]

i feel like other leagues should do this if it's a big game

[somber harness]

Nah I want to watch them every 3 days they're fun to watch

[leaden minnow]

yes

[hollow remnant]

the issue is that if you do this to q$g then do it to all the other clubs still in europe

[rare onyx]

“q$g” 😭

[dry plinth]

Manchester City have done that for next week with Crystal Palace so why not

[hoary raptor]

Think of it like this: let's say you have to do a math test on Wednesday, and it's gonna be a difficult one for sure. Since it's gonna be a difficult test, you have to study more, right? On Monday, 2 days before the test, you decided to request your teacher (or principal) to have a day off on Tuesday so you can have more time studying for the test. They then accepted your request, thus you got a day off to study on Tuesday. It's basically like that, but in football terms

So yeah, giving the advantage to a certain big club is very unfair

Especially since it's a high stakes knockout match

[torn urchin]

No cuz that's what bench players are for. There's no need to play the main team every single game.

[tropic lance]

I feel like it’s unfair ngl. Like the guy above the guy above me said, it’s unfair if a student gets a day off or a test postponed because they have another test, but I have to deal with both of them back to back. I’d think that was unfair.

A team has to rotate and have enough depth to compete, that’s what should be valued not just being given extra days of rest because the league wants their golden child to make a deep run into the UCL

[maiden hearth]

as a person who lives in qatar i approve of this message

[minor vale]

Nigkrt against preston 😭😭😭 Brother had 0/10 duels won
2 errors led to goal
Hooked 19th minute

then maybe kinsky

[night ruin]

I say follow PSG's lead instead of the other way around
Why on earth, as a fan of the game, would you NOT want to see the best at their best conditions?
Its a great practice

[sinful temple]

As a fan, I'd like to see them play more than them playing once in 2 weeks so they can be at their best

[serene cosmos]

We already have that in Portugal, so.... Yes.

[sinful temple]

I think uefa should stop this practice because it's very unfair for a specific big team to have an advantage in a tournament like the champions league

[night ruin]

1. Some games are more important than others. As a United fan I would happily postpone a Burnley game if it means we can be at full strength to play a team like Madrid or Bayern
2. Those games will still be played eventually, just spaced better
   So it's not like you're missing out on anything in the grand scheme of things

[night ruin]

Other teams should adopt to this, not the other way around
That way we get higher quality games as neutrals instead of one high profile name always being unavailable or having to come off the bench due to rotation

[raw nimbus]

Thats due to the carabao cup final

Not rest

Both matches were scheduled on the same weekend

[fleet girder]

if a club is dominant in a league as psg is in ligue 1, I believe the league should cater to them in decisions like this

[trail narwhal]

Yes, players need to rest.
Ligue 1 question 🤑

[surreal knoll]

Yes UEFA should step in

Cuz why not lol

[young yarrow]

I dont really think the fairness aspect matters so much here because there are a lot more things that are actually unfair unlike this moving league matches before UCL thing. That being said I would like to know what the fans of the clubs think because sacrificing a weekend match to play it in the midweek later on theoretically makes it more difficult for some fans to attend.

[ember garnet]

Depends on the title race, I feel that other leagues shouldn’t. If you don’t have the squad depth to have multiple teams then that’s the clubs problem.

[onyx condor]

No.

We are the same fans always complaining about too many games and players not being looked after which ruins football.

And yet when a league does look after some of their players we want to complain.

The prem has other advantages like being the richest so other leagues getting their own advantages is it’s a problem. As long as it’s not nefarious

[reef turret]

I think no.
UEFA’s job is European competitions.
The league schedule is the responsibility of the national federation.
However, the federation should set a rule:
The same privilege should be given to EVERY team playing in Europe, not just PSG

[dry plinth]

Ikr

Idk who will win but I guess Arsenal will do their best

The same applied with Arsenal v Wolves which happened earlier

[raw nimbus]

Yeah arsenal wolves was preponed
City palace postponed

Happens almost always with the fixtures of the teams playing in the efl cup final

[plucky bobcat]

Wrestling at corners, should make it more tek based than depending on brute force to outmuscle the other team players.

[cedar shard]

fouls in the box need to be consistently defined if we’re serious about addressing how crowding the keeper can still be seen as a fair tactic

The offside rule being too harsh.

[trail narwhal]

Leverkusen v Bayern yesterday.

[supple anvil]

Don't force corners or free kicks for 90 minutes to score goals, for example.

[frosty coral]

That's on the referees then, don't blame the rule as it is pretty clear what counts offside

[night ruin]

Did they show the lines?

[frosty coral]

the handball rule is not clear

[trail narwhal]

Yes.

It was 1 millimeter off.

[night ruin]

Well, whats the issue then? Offside is offside

[trail narwhal]

Leverkusen got robbed.

[trail narwhal]

Too harsh.

[slender grove]

Also referees should have ratings. Too many bad ratings = relegated

[tropic lance]

True, the handball needs to get looked at

Just bun the referees atp

[frosty coral]

rule is the rule, doesn't matter how harsh

[night ruin]

Maybe but I prefer it being absolute
Better this than changing it in the future and having it being unclear

Everyone knows what this rule is

[slender grove]

https://tenor.com/view/var-uberk-championsleague-gif-6581540693795810108

[night ruin]

?

What’s this mean

[slender grove]

So tired of calls like this

[charred mulch]

Injured players forcefully drag them off the pitch

[slender grove]

You don’t move injured people

[charred mulch]

No shit Sherlock

[slender grove]

Read my bio

Respect.

[charred mulch]

Didn't read it

[charred mulch]

Anyway like I said before I was interrupted

[slender grove]

You’re rude.

And disrespectful

[charred mulch]

You're excused

[slender grove]

Injured players should not be moved forcefully, they may have serious medical conditions. Why don’t you elaborate on your statement

[charred mulch]

Oh yeah the offside rule too

[charred mulch]

Time wasting too

[slender grove]

I thought time wasting was solved by them adding extra minutes at the end?

[sinful temple]

Offside should be a lil less harsh, player should be offside only if a major part of his body such as a leg in out of the line and also either straight red for a player wasting time or add a ton of extra time

[frosty coral]

LOL

[slender grove]

There’s another famous one of VAR flagging someone’s crotch lol

But I can’t find it

[frosty coral]

Madrid fan?

[slender grove]

Yes, however I do my best to not be biased.

Every club deserves critism

[hollow remnant]

You haven't seen USG disallowed goal against us in the ucl

(dark blue guy was offside)

[bleak anchor]

offside
tiny things should not count only feet

[dry plinth]

Indirect free kicks

And 10 minutes too early btw

[crystal tartan]

Off side at 1 meter

[torn urchin]

Need more subs

[minor vale]

Who is this

[shadow oxide]

some cms should not be dissalowed for offside(low quality pic)

[leaden minnow]

commentators be able to talk to referees during var. so that fans can actually understand whats going on.

[marble ivy]

Timewasting and such, absolute annoyance and genuinely horrible. Fits straight into the same category as players diving to get penalties, pretending their knees imploded, then when they notice the ref doesn't buy it, they sprint off immediately. Especially bad with timewasting is people faking head injuries and such

[heady ermine]

Question 273

Bruno Fernandes provided his 16th Premier League assist of the season last night, and he is very close to breaking the record of 20 Premier League assists in a single season. If Bruno manages to achieve this special record, how high do you think his Premier League legacy will become? Would he belong in potential top-5 or top-10 all-time discussions for Premier League midfielders?

<@&1392052021108146207>

[cosmic spruce]

He already is top 5

[night ruin]

I wish so
Deserves that respect for carrying us for half a decade

[frosty coral]

Top 10 probably

[north spear]

Top 25 midfielders oat in PL

[raw nimbus]

Top 10

For PL

If he does it

[keen beacon]

For now
Top 5 in Pl. Bro carried man und

[paper nacelle]

He is brilliant, bit hard to justify it though when he's won very little with Man U overall

[raw nimbus]

Top 5 is too much even if he gets the record

[bold bane]

Top 20 probably

His assists are kinda inflated, he has only 8.8xA but double the amount of assists so not as good of a creator to be top 10.

[outer ruin]

Top 10-15 at best

[keen beacon]

I talk this season

[raw nimbus]

Yeah the question was all time PL

[raw nimbus]

Yeah 9th-15th range if he breaks the record

[valid shale]

whats even xA about

is it like guessed from the passes goalscorer took or smth

[raw nimbus]

87 Days to go for the World Cup #11-days-to-go message

[daring snow]

just outside the top 10 probably

[ocean fog]

he has to be top 10 or 15

he's doing this in an average united team

[valid shale]

players shouldnt be judged from their expected things

they have a moral and a life too

[bold bane]

It's by far a better indicator of a player's creativity than assists are

[valid shale]

emotional things can affect everyone

[bold bane]

[valid shale]

well uhh

let me try to explain it correctly

[jovial crest]

Top 10 oat in when he does it

[valid shale]

players shouldnt be judged from their expected things because
1- emotional things and personal life can affect gameplay
2- somebody that has low xA can get high assists, somebody that has high xA can get low assists, because of the player they passed to and the defensive gameplay of the opponent

just look at the pass
good? good.
then good

[solemn prairie]

Top 15-20 prem midfielders oat

[trail narwhal]

Top 15.

[sinful temple]

Top 15

[tight obsidian]

top 5 too high i'd say def top 10

[alpine ginkgo]

Even without these many assists this season he is definately in the top 10.

[lone saffron]

top 30

[grand flower]

Top 10 I'd say

[lucid nacelle]

top 25-15

somewhere in that range idk

[shadow oxide]

if hes consistent for a few more season then he can definitely be in top 10 or 15

[tropic lance]

As much as I want to exaggerate, realistically he’s top 15

[dull sinew]

he would be top 30

[dull sinew]

Like they rule offside quickly and not waste time like some cases theyve toke 8 minutes to rule a goal offside

[dull sinew]

UEFA should step in cause at this rate if psg stay consistent they will threa peet the champions league or even 5 in a row

[dull sinew]

ill place it 2nd at unexpected individual perfomance Beceause 1st place gotta be lucas moura 2nd half hat-trick against ajax to secure the comeback and no it wasnt the best UCL performances of the 2020s so far

[dull sinew]

They might slip but now bayern team is scoring for fun sow they still need to prove themselves

[dull sinew]

Barca Vs Inter was more chaotic and unexpected it brings me goosebumps

[dull sinew]

iLL START Mo Salah and Garethbale Ill sell Eden Hazard and bench Di Maria

[dull sinew]

the man is an alien and if he doesnt get injured he might have a great carear like kevin de bruyne

[dull sinew]

Jose mourinho Inter team

[dull sinew]

Ofcourse it will be

[dull sinew]

If messi never left barca we might not see yamal but possibly called up in the future like 2028 or 2027

[dull sinew]

Ill start sergio Ramos and Chiellini ill bench Van djik and sell thiago silva

[dull sinew]

iD RANK him 4th of all time

[dull sinew]

The red cards 😂

[dull sinew]

Psg And Chelsea

[dry plinth]

Already top 10

[uneven mirage]

No

[drowsy schooner]

If he gets the record, defo top 10

[leaden minnow]

top 10

[thorn silo]

Top 10 maybe

[heady ermine]

He wouldn't be anywhere near top 10 if he was in mls😂

Question 274

What if Cristiano Ronaldo hadn’t joined Real Madrid in 2009 and had instead spent the majority of his career at Manchester United? How do you think this timeline would have played out?

<@&1392052021108146207>

[valid shale]

he would be still good under sir alex ferguson

https://tenor.com/view/sir-alex-ferguson-gif-11796632

[prime ether]

still would of been a baller him and rooney in the same team in that time was just deadly 😭

[round breach]

Well that would mean back to back Pl's for Man Utd

[daring snow]

he would get owned by messi is another final instead of a semi final 👍

[bold bane]

Madrid win 1 or 2 less UCLs, united win 3-4 more PLs, Ronaldo's fame globally is a bit reduced but he's a bigger legend for united.
As United lose SAF and become unstable Ronaldo would probably suffer with a worse team surrounding him than he had at madrid, and there would be no GOAT debate as Messi would be even more clear than he already is in reality

[raw nimbus]

86 Days to go for 2026 World Cup #11-days-to-go message

[tight obsidian]

nothing changes we still remain on top

[ocean fog]

united would've done a bayern or juve and steamroll the league

[analog shadow]

would've won nothing after 2013 unfortunately

[ocean fog]

If ronaldo stayed than Man City wouldnt have won a PL untill covid era, RMA wouldnt have a single CL, the PL wouldve stayed dominant for years to come but Man Unt wouldve also been in a huge financial crisis at the end of the 10s.

This would mean Arsenal wouldve won 2 PLs aswell

[solemn prairie]

Manchester United would probably have a slightly better legacy

[marble ivy]

The space time continuum would've had a major breakdown and Arjen Robben would've scored through some crazy butterfly effect moment

Talking about 2010 world cup

[elfin mirage]

he wouldn't have won 5 ballon dor and 5 UCL. i bet my life on it. his goal scoring will be cut by 2/3 too

[sinful temple]

He would've become the greatest united player to touch the ball but the messi-ronaldo domination era might not have been existent

[drowsy schooner]

People would be seeing Zidane as what he really is, an overrated manager.

I am taking Deschamps over him ALL DAY

[night ruin]

That’s ridiculous, cut by 2/3? Because he stayed in one team?
This is Ronaldo we’re talking about

[night ruin]

united dont fall off as badly by 2013 and Madrid dont have as much Ucl success

[tribal dawn]

Then CL 2011 would be interesting to watch they had no answer to that Barcelona team

[dry plinth]

I wonder

[light mantle]

yes, whatver this guy says

[heady ermine]

Barca would've won many more ucls playing against utd

[dull sinew]

ermm atleast he will win the europa league 💀

[zealous patio]

Betis legend in future

[fluid whale]

Utd would remain strong as they were in 2008 and before for the next 5-6 years until the blue moon rose under Pep😸. Also sir Alex might have got bale as he always wanted to. That would've been crazy as hell tho

[slim fern]

Quite differently. Man Utd remain among the top of the Premier League for longer and without Cristiano Ronaldo, Real Madrid don't win as many CL's as they did normally. As well as Man Utd benefiting from Ronaldo remaining at the club, but also Barcelona and especially Atletico Madrid (Yes, I'm serious actually). Without Madrid having Cristiano, we might see Atletico taking home both the 2012 and 2014 Champions League trophies which would further separate them from the other big clubs in Spain.

Question 275

What do you think about CAF’s surprising decision to hand Morocco the 2025 AFCON title with a 3–0 forfeit against Senegal after their walk-off in the final?

<@&1392052021108146207>

[knotty yew]

It’s the correct decision, they did the right thing

[frosty coral]

Disgrace

[dull sinew]

Its fair but taking that long to find out it was a forfeit it was negligence from CAF

[keen relic]

Its an absolute robbery!!! They played the game until the end!

[rotund bone]

its a fucking disgrace

[sterile helm]

https://tenor.com/view/disgrace-didier-drogba-chelsea-fc-angry-mad-gif-17626388

[fathom cargo]

Senegal deserve the trophy.

[hoary raptor]

Two words: utter disgrace

[brittle wolf]

Doing it after 2 MONTHS is crazy. It should have been decided immediately or have been left as is. Yes Senegal did walk out of the pitch, but you cannot start counting it as a withdrawal 2 months after the fact

[frosty coral]

Should've stripped Senegal's title on the day of the game or a day later. Why do it 2 months later? Clowns.

It's Senegal's trophy.

[simple lark]

Justice served the CAF applied the rules (article 82 and 84) and yeah nothing bad morocco did just people hating here and stuff the only problem is that was soo late after 2 months otherwise I'm happy

Disgrace, should have been done way earlier

[halcyon flicker]

Terrible decision. I’d rather have a rematch or something

An Earlier decision would’ve been fine. But this late idk

[quasi hull]

Senegal deserves it all but
It was a fair decision but how long it took is too out of hand

[dense schooner]

Honestly it was quite interesting. Even though under the articles led to the decision made, the timeliness was just too long and an earlier approach should’ve happened

[wheat oxide]

I think that after this incident, there should be a rule to play the game at penalties to decide the winner if a further incident happens after a team wins a trophy

[raw nimbus]

85 Days to go for the 2026 FIFA World Cup #11-days-to-go message

[wheat oxide]

also, why did it take long to review and take decision? This could’ve been done earlier but this late? Nah

[wheat oxide]

finally someone who honours zizinho and socrates

[marble ivy]

It's a stupid decision, if it was that much of an issue to CAF, they should've intervened far sooner. This now just discredits African football as a whole and makes a joke out of the tournament. Even if it might not be the case, it reeks of corruption this way.

Was Senegal breaking a rule by walking off? Yeah probably. But they should've called it out and penalized it on the spot. Now it's like handing out a dessert for christmas dinner while easter has already been celebrated

[sinful temple]

I feel like it was fair and unfair at the same time. They should've taken action sooner than 3 whole months. However, according to the rules, senegal forfeited mid game and so the cup goes to morocco. They should've done better in decision making in the game.

[raw nimbus]

👏

[ocean fog]

why does it have to happen two months later? senegal already lifted the trophy, had the parade and everything. absolutely disgusting

senegal won no matter what

[jovial crest]

https://tenor.com/view/drogba-disgrace-complain-gif-13030495025833868706

90+2 months winner for Morocco

[fluid whale]

Robbery, Senegal played till the end. It's a disgrace

[night ruin]

Technically correct, I suppose
They didn’t “officially” break any rules while Senegal did

Forget the bs decisions that went their way that game, or the whole towel incidents, or the fact they waited TWO MONTHS to act on the stupid rules in the courtroom, instead of letting the football decide.

All is well, hope it was worth the loss of AFCON’s credibility

[bleak anchor]

at least brahim diaz wont die 👍

[drowsy schooner]

The decision IN ITSELF is right, the timing was completely shite, they had to decide if giving it to Morocco or not IN THE FINAL, not 2 months after

[shadow oxide]
