    Too heavy a fine.Morrocos fears were reasonable.In the first place,they asked for postponement but CAF rejected that .They should contest this unreasonable judgement with FIFA or any relevant court of jurisdiction

    CAF must stand firmly aganist morocco no pardon at all. otherwise CAF credibility will be underline.

  • BerylRichards 10 years ago

    is this to cripple Moroccan soccer or to penalized them for not hosting??

    African leaders dont think. Instead CAF should fining that silly country Equatorial Guinea heavily for their uncouth behavior

  • Future Judge 10 years ago
