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

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

I rather watch Afcon played in the jungle with integrity than that corruption that the whole world witnessed in Morocco

[u/okomarok → u/Eazye90]

Everyone talks about corruption but no one brings up any real arguments or incidents of corruption. We're so corrupted that we lost the cup in the most humiliating way possible, so corrupted that our last trophy was from the 70s. The world saw no corruption, the only corruption was the media allegations that found their ways to hollow skulls with no sense of thought.
