Nigerians
blaming referee Laryea? Amazing,forgetting that their team performed poorly at the semi-final. Morocco had answers to all their tactics. No world cup,no Afcon cup. This is Nigeria's story.

This is truly Nigeria's story and it is indeed sad. NO WORLD CUP,NO AFCON CUP. Osimhen shackled and Lookman nowhere to be found in the semi-final against Morocco. The Nigerian players were even afraid to take the penalties for fear of not scoring and being blamed for Nigeria's defeat.

Laryea was a bit biased against the Nigerians side and it’s a shame. He has showed two yellow cards to Nigerian players and non to Morocco players? Only God knows in his heart why he didn’t do that and it will hunt him for sometime. I know he was afraid of a backlash from these Arab people if his actions could dent them the chance to play in the finals after 50 years. Too many fouls against the Nigerians and some of those fouls were unjustified.

@okpinglo or whatever your name is must know that I am not one of those dishonest Ghanaian like you. Dishonest Ghanaians often see black and call it white. When Diaz fouled the Nigerian player on a transition play towards the Moroccan side, that was not a yellow card offense right? When the Moroccan player also kicked the ball away from his rude behavior and that was not a yellow card offense right? Laryea only warned him to the contrary of the rules.

You have done what you were told to do, Ghanaians will remains traitors and servants forever, I remember when Jose Morinho was asked which of his players he would leave his children with and he responded without hesitation Michael Essien. Ghanaians saw trust but others saw servitude and a rat.

If the officiating was balanced, nobody would have said anything but he's not the one that asked Nigerians not to score their penalties.

He should however not be allowed to officiate any serious match ever again, bringing in a Ghanaian to officiate Nigeria's match against Morocco was a bad decision from the beginning knowing there's no love lost, but only the Ghanaian agreed to do the dirty job

Laryea is useless, have no balls and did CAF and Morroco hatchet job as centre referee demoralising the Green Eagles from the start with bad and biased officiating. No one would chose him for WC matches- only African Shit-hole CAF would ever give Laryea a match to referee because of corruption and bad blood.

Well guys,
DO NOT be deceived by Referee Daniel Laryea’s Calm and Cool demeanour as seen in the clip.
He is a Ga from the Greater Accra Region of Ghana.
If the Nigerian guy had attempted anything crazy, you would have found himself in the A&E of Casablanca hospital.
Do you see how relaxed and composed the referee LOOKED JUST A DAY AFTER THE MATCH?
Other referees won’t dare to step out BUT NOT A GA MAN. His people rule Ghana Boxing producing world class champions from Bukom.
Moreover, his name is Daniel ooh! And was named Daniel for a very great reason.
If he survived the den of lions all alone, WHAT IS AFCON SEMI SOCCER MATCH?

Nigerians should train their players on HOW TO SCORE PENALTIES and stop blaming this great football officiator in the capacity of a REFEREE.

NB: He made only 2 simple statements:
It’s crazy and it’s football. PLEASE THINK ABOUT ABOUT THAT. He could have said many things but wisdom was at work. It was crazy and it is football.
Great and wise men do NOT TALK MUCH.

That’s why that country is in such shit state and all they do move from country to country. When they get to those countries they continue to complain that the people don’t like them . Meanwhile they comment from a country where the government value cattle more than human life. They can protest or complain about their government yet they’re brave enough to move into other countries and complain

The referee did his best
The only error there is the Cavin Bash yellow card
The super eagles play below standard.

What an awful referee. Never seen so many bad calls In a. Single game. Nigeria played against 12 men. Anyone that reviews the game honestly will see many decisions that carved the direction of the game.

Sure Nigeria didn't play as well as they should have, combined with Osimeh being out of position and being out of sorts captaining the side.

Sure it's football, it happens. Referees make mistakes and make bad calls sometimes on purpose and sometimes by mistake. But let him own it and not be praised for messing up so bad.
