@Narco Millz said:

"Nigeria played on the 5th and you claimed they have 5 days rest before Algeria match, Algeria played on the 6th and they have 3 days rest? Is that how you do maths in Morocco? And is this the first time fixtures are like this in tournaments? If Algeria are good as you claim, why are they winning matches in extra minutes? Why not win without extra time like Nigeria did?"

"I hope this is what all of Morrocco thinks, including the players. That would be awesome."
