Maybe Tinubu should have been appointed as the referee? This game was one of the best (if not the best) in terms of performance from both teams and the officiating. It is just bad luck, that's all. In football (in many cases) it is not the best team that carries the day - in my opinion Naja has been the best team throughout the tournament, but they just ran out of luck.

We have just allowed the Nigerians to make us crucify out own. Ref Laryea performed well and should be commended. The Nigerians didn't play well as they did earlier in the tournament. How many shots on goal did they come out with. They lost and lost and lost. They should prepare for the third place match period.

@Kofi, don't mind Ghanaweb and their usual sensationalism, who says those complaining about the referee's performance are Ghanaians?

Refree Laryea was never going to make a good call as far as Nigerians are concerned judging by the way Nigerians attacked the refree based on his Ghanaian citizenship long before the starting whistle was blown. This includes TV pundit John Michael Obi (yes, that is his true name) commenting on UK Channel E4 that Ghanaians and Nigerians don't like each other so he wasn't expecting the refree to be fair to Nigeria. Obi, an Ibo man was probably confusing Ghanaians for Yorubas as the 2 tribes hate each other with vegeance.

Remember Prof. Azumah - he take the matter from the referees beats his opponents rough-rough. Let’s assume the referee was bias (which is normal - Nija referees would have taken same ‘bribe’ )- the match went on penalty; the Azumah moment. No referee can influence such penalties shootout: Nija failed over here to unwrite all the so-called biases committed by referee Daniel Nokofio. So Nija- shut up!!! Ghana is going to the World Cup; Nija is going home to drink mice 3ba soup - ah, I meant NICE

The referee is just a scapegoat for a toothless performance and the resultant frustration. To be honest it was a poor game, not helped by some dodgy decisions which had no impact on the final result. Was the referee responsible for the number of shots on target by Nigeria ? Did the Moroccans kick more penalties?

Kudos to the referee. The game was physical. The Morrocan team was very stable. They hurried the Super Eagles and didn't allow them to flow. Calvin Bassey defended very well and has transformed himself into a solid player. Nigeria came into the picture in both halves of extra time but the forward had a quiet game with Iwobi almost missing. One incisive pass from Lookman was brilliant and got one shot on target saved by the GK. Nwabali did well. Both teams were exhausted at the end of 230 minutes. Morrocans may lift the cup.
