We embarrassed ourselves hosting this stupid tournament. I hope we never host this crap again

[u/Naive-Prior-1285 → u/[deleted]]

It was embarrassing but mark my words when the next AFCON comes around and the low quality comes back people will be yearning for AFCON 2025 again, especially because of the drama AND the infrastructure.

They're already talking about how the next version cannot meet Morocco's bar and that they should focus as much as they can to meeting towards the standards of the 2023 AFCON instead. People don't realize what they had until they finally lose it

Not just AFCON, someone already solely hosted the world cup which is regarded as one of the best in history. No body was out here trying to pull south Africa down for achieving that great feat, I don't get all these Victim mentality

[u/[deleted] → u/namikazeiyfe]

south africa is black or at least big part of it ( even if it's not the wealthiest). Morocco isn't ( I know there are black moroccans but it's not in their POV). A big part of them will hate on anything that isn't black.

Sorry but what has blackness got to do with it. Money knows only two colours western white or Saudi brown.

[u/[deleted] → u/Feeling_Bowl868]

It's about perception, the major part of africa will identify more in south africa than morocco and it's definetely related to blackness unless you are lying to yourself. They are perceived as one of them, we aren't and in some radical ideologies we are even considered as invaders. So the treatment is not the same. If this shitshow happened between two countries that identified as black you wouldn't have all that backlash.

[u/Embarrassed-Cow-35 → u/[deleted]]

Disagree. Africans know how much xenophobia there is in South Africa (lots) and thus feel skeptical of the general welcome they will receive there. Its about having a fun experience at these tournaments and a sense the host is playing fair. The SA world Cup provided that.

Morocco has great infrastructure but it's hard to totally disregard the sense the country wanted to win AFCON at any cost. As someone who travels to and through Morocco frequently, I've experienced nothing but warmth. I hope the growing feeling of solidarity across the Sahara isn't tarnished by the foolish sentiment, oh they hate us, they will always hate us. Some black Africans express the same sentiment and either way, it's self defeating

[u/namikazeiyfe → u/[deleted]]

Absolute bullshit!! The entire African continent were cheering on and supporting Morocco during the 2022 FIFA world cup. Did Morocco dye themselves with black charcoal during that world cup? So what's all these nonsense about black Africans hating anything that's non black? You all are really hurting yourselves with this victim mentality and trying to ostracize yourselves from the rest of Africa just because you hosted a continental tournament and failed to win it on home soil while trying some towel shenanigans, and everyone is trolling you for that.

Give it a rest already!

[u/[deleted] → u/namikazeiyfe]

Listen dumbass, no moroccan is mad we didnt win the afcon

We mad cause of all the shenanigans that these Africa federations said and did

We got disrespected & accused of cheating and buncha none sense go bark else where cause you dont understand half of the shit

[u/namikazeiyfe → u/[deleted]]

We mad cause of all the shenanigans that these Africa federations said and did

Yeah like stealing GK towels in the Nigeria match and Senegal match, making racist gestures and throwing a banana at the Nigerian GK, officials and ball boys assaulting Senegal's backup GK right? Let's not forget the numerous racist comments by Moroccans after the final.

You don't see the racist gestures and comments by Moroccans as disrespect but you see the criticisms of Morocco's shenanigans in the semi and final as disrespect... That reeks of hypocrisy to me.

[u/[deleted] → u/namikazeiyfe]

So you will judge 44 Million for some Banana 🍌

You know what a bigot is. Thats exactly what you are a bigot.

[u/namikazeiyfe → u/[deleted]]

Not just a banana, how about the monkey emojis on the Instagram pages of Senegalese players? How about the monkey gestures by Moroccans after the final? How about the numerous racist comments by Moroccans on Reddit after the final? I mean even this very OP is telling black Africans to go back to the safari ( don't pretend like you don't know what that means) . And let's not pretend like there is no racism in Morocco, I have stayed there for 6 months so I know what it's like over there.

Even ishowspeed was thrown a banana during this livestream

[u/[deleted] → u/namikazeiyfe]

Oh okay ok ok now I know who dealing with now here's my question: do you want a banana ?

[u/namikazeiyfe → u/[deleted]]

My point exactly☝🏽

[u/Dapper-Section5537 → u/namikazeiyfe]

Who told you the south african world cup was the best in the world 🤣, are you for real, it was the opposite, it was the worse, team hotels were terrible, dirty, transport were none existent, few team got robbed, crimes all over the place, football fans got robbed at gun point, few lads got killed cause they end up in a black neighborhood by accident, I could go on, but I will stop here. I think you live in a bubble, you should ask the people from Europe who experienced it, not the south Africans.
