​@@adnanorochi3761this doesn't make sense ? What do u mean?

[@AdamMounam]

As a Moroccan, I can confirm, we looked absolutely worthless in the game against South Africa. There were no quick passing sequences, and whenever someone gets the ball they would just stand over it and start spinning in circles until they lose it. Their brains can't even process how to pass a ball to a teammate normally, they either end up holding it for too long and lose it, or they make a terrible pass and lose it as well. And don't get me started on how everyone in the team just decided to suddenly forget how to control a f*cking ball, they can't even move forward with normally, they just seem to forget how to use their f*cking legs. It was an absolute catastrophe, absolutely no one thought we were actually going to get knocked out by South Africa, but our National Team never fails to blow our minds with these types of disastrous upsets. Everytime they would receive the ball, they would start playing their boring passing sequences between the Defenders. At first I thought they were trying to stretch South Africa and make them leave their Low Block positions, but the boring ball play in the Defense did nothing at all. Shout out to South Africa, they played well, and were much more composed, calm, and efficient. They were the better team from the beginning to the end of the Match, our players looked like early homosapiens just learning how to use their legs or how to progress the ball forward. And our Commentators were just making it worse by saying that we were absolute sh*t, because their is 90% Humidity in the Stadium. No, we were absolute garbage because we always fancy ourselves against other teams, that's why.

This edition 2024 of AFCON is special and different I’ve been following it since 8 years old and never before we had 5 last world cup participants all knocked out before the semis If you see the winners since 2000 they were all favorites except for Zambia 2012 maybe (Cameroon2x, Tunisia, Egypt 3x, Zambia, Nigeria, Ivory Coast, Cameroon, Algeria, Senegal) The problem is that the medias creates too many favorites ! There was like 10 favorites in this AFCON out of 24 (Senegal, Morrocco, Ivory Coast, Algeria, Egypt, Ghana, Nigeria, Cameroon, Tunisia, Mali) so the word dosent mean anything anymore, the only true favorites were Morrocco and Senegal plus I.Coast because they host the tournament and Egypt cause finalists and Mo Salah For example we algerians and the media in Algeria knew our team had problems, we were hopeful but thought we were favorites, although we definitely didn't think we would be this bad tbh If you have 10 favorites in a tournament no wonder by the time there is 8 left there will be upsets
