How much did Moroccans pay this fool?
How can a towel placed somewhere behind the goal line interfere in the game?
Africans!

So do they punish teams when their supporters misbehave? Are supporters part of the match?

GHANA'S BLACK STARS CAN NEVER EVER WIN THE WORLD, SO GHANA MUST RATHER FOCUS ON THE REVENUES GENERATED BY GHANA TO JUSTIFY THE COUNTRY'S EXPENDITURE ON THE WORLD CUPS THEY PLAY IN,. SIMPLE COMMON SENSE, WHICH IS NOT COMMON AMONG GHANA'S FRAUDULENT LEADERS .

MOROCCO DID NOT WIN THE AFCON 2025/26 AS HOSTS, BUT THEY GENERATED OVER A WHOPPING €1.5 BILLION (ONE AND A HALF BILLION EUROS) INTO THEIR COUNTRY'S DOMESTIC ECONOMY THAT IS A MASSIVE CONSOLATION PAYOUT TO MOROCCO'S DOMESTIC ECONOMY.

CONVERSELY, GHANA GENERATED ZERO AFCON REVENUES, MUCH OF WHICH WERE LOOTED BY THE LIKES OF FRAUDSTERS WOYOME AND GHANA'S FRAUDULENT MINISTRY OF YOUTH AND SPORTS OFFICIALS IN COLLUSION WITH GHANA'S FRAUDULENT POLITICIANS AS USUAL.

HOW MUCH REVENUE DID GHANA GENERATE FROM HOSTING THE AFCON? ZERO, BECAUSE LIKE GHANA'S TAX AND EXPORT REVENUES, ALMOST ALL THE REVENUES GENERATED FROM GHANA'S HOSTING OF THE AFCON WAS LOOTED BY GHANA'S PATHOLOGICALLY FRAUDULENT LEADERS, MUCH LIKE GHANA'S EXPORT EARNINGS AND DOMESTIC TAX REVENUES.

GHANA MUST ENFORCE THE DEATH PENALTY FOR OFFICIAL FRAUDSTERS LIKE AKUFO-ADDO, OFORI-ATTA, KENNEDY AGYAPONG, URSULA OWUSU, CECILIA DAPAAH,, BAWIMIAH, ETC OTHERWISE OUR COUNTRY'S ECONOMY AND DEVELOPMENT WILL CONSTANTLY MARCH BACKWARDS LIKE WHAT OBTAINS NOW

GHANA IS A SICK HOPELESS HIGHLY-INDEBTED NATION BECAUSE ALL OUR EFUOM SUCCESSIVE LEADERS ARE FRAUDSTERS AND TOTALLY USELESS.

With this attitude, how do you expect African football to develop? And how do you expect African nations and clubs to compete favourably at the world level? Evil lovers of bribes and 'gifts'.

Are the ball boys responsible for enforcing CAF regulations?
Or are they an extension of the referee's team?

Very sensible question. This towel controversy has never been an issue until this AFCON and also only in matches where Morocco feared they would lose.'CAF shd better stay away

Very useless take by CAF. Was the towel on the field of play or outside? Is behind the goal past part of the field of play. Are reserve players not allowed to warm up outside the field of play? In the case of Senegal, a reserve goalkeeper was holding the towel outside the field of play. Why didn't the referee punish the reserve goalkeeper if he was actually interfering with play? This is all corruption.

Citizen Watch, please don't waste your breath and energy. Our leaders know no shame. If what they're saying should be upheld, then the cameras and microphones just behind the line should be equally banned.

So the solution is to have those not part of the game step into the pitch to take the foreign object out?

Corrupt officials. Even in Europe and the English premier League, we see keepers use towels with no issues. The ball boys don't go grabbing it. If was against the law, then why did the referee not ask.them to take it away or book them? Why did it take the ball boys to do so? Are they part of the officials? Stop chatting rubbish. The entire tournament was staged in bias for Morocco to win . Cheats. Senegal are worthy champions so leave them alone

Did the referees on that particular day complained, if not then what this man is saying is bullshit. Also it is the referees who have the power to go remove those towels if they think it is interfering or obstructing their duties. Are the Moroccan ball boys also referees? Condemn the stupidity and the animalistic behavior of the Moroccan ball boys before coming to educate us. We are not fools. I blame the arrogant CAF President. He is behaving as if nothing bad happened on that very day. He has not issued any statement in regard of the activities of what happened. Masa keep your education to yourself.

The jalousy and vitriol against Morocco is unbelievable! Senegal stole the game with their dishonesty. Their federation is still barking to avoid sanctions. During the game they were whining after every ref call. Hakimi was pushed off the ball clearly and the ref had wistled for play to end. No goal. But noh, morocco paid the ref!!! The penalty was obvious. But noh Morocco controls CAF. let's withdraw but only for 17 minutes to protest. What a bunch of buffoons! Even their goal in extratime came after an illegal screen on the Morocco defender. Watch it again; but at that time the ref was already shaken and scared. Senegal came like thugs to steal the game and they did after all the fuss. Their fans behaved violently and could have caused a trajedy had it not been for the Morocco security. Yes, the towels are used to cheat by creating distraction depending on where they are placed. It is well known in Africa distraction items are used for psychological Voodoo. Why did the senegalese bench player fought so hard for the towel? Ball boys are not to blame at that instant as senegalese fans and team created havoc by their behavior and trying to equate the two behaviors is dishonest and biased to say the least. Morocco Wins for ever.

You come across like someone who hates the truth. When you Arabs make those gestures like touching your head on the ground and use those Arabic chains or amulets, is it psychological voodoo or religion? Also, Diaz exaggerated that penalty call because he knows the referee was on his side and it is the last minute of the game, like he always does at Real Madrid!. if you believe in Allah, then ACCEPT that Allah rightfully awarded the win to Senegal and Brahim Diaz got embarrassed to teach him a lesson in fair play. Unless you want say that Voodoo won over Allah?

It may not be part of a players kitty, yet it is duty of the refrees or game officials, and not the ball boys (and some players) to remove them.
