Corruption? Surrounding this tournament?

Would be good to somehow show our support at the weekend.

How about singing 'We know what you are' Champions of Africa

Can do that on the 10th and 27th minute for instance? Would need help from the 1878's I suppose.

It's Africa. Corruption has been priced in.

Agreed, 100%.

Not only are we talking about overturning a match here, we're talking about overturning a tournament.

It's just miles beyond the pale.

why have the tourny at all then, just award the title to the organisers favourite team.

Someone HAS to have created a meme of the morrocan ballboys trying to steal the trophy instead of the towels.

Could say the same for the prem.

I agree with some of the sentiment but 'dignified in adversity' is stretching it a bit given the historically colossal hissy fit they all threw.

Michael Keane must be laughing his bollocks off at that.

Dignified in adversity.

My favourite thing about that is how tightly it fits.

Like the cabinet has been built around it, in such a way that extraction is impossible.

Love how Senegal are just taking the piss out of the farce.

Sorry I’m confused, what does any of this mean?
