The referee is a disgrace to Ghana. He was openly biased against Nigeria. Showing a yellow card to a player who was a victim of offense is just a shame.

What is new. The 419 boys even started blaming the coach 24 hrs before the match started. The super chickens are a the buga buga team, without which they ain't shit. Ghana vs Naija in the previous WC QUALIFIES WAS LIKE A WRESTLING MATCH. In Naija vs Morrocco i saw at least three infringements against Morrocco that were not called. This Naija story is like the dog ate my homework story.

This ga man was partially against the Nigerians and they have every right to be angry. This niggga was afraid of the Arab people in Morocco so he allowed them to misbehave on the pitch without a single yellow card shown to them. As a Ghanaian watching from afar, I was very annoyed with Nii for being so biased towards his fellow west Africans. Black referees from south of the Sahara are always protecting the Arab players against their own black players whenever the game is played in North Africa. It’s a shame that Daniel Nii is among those worst referees who didn’t officiate a fair game in this match.

Very difficult job for Ref Laryea in case many of you don't know the GA tribe in Ghana of which Laryea is part of, historically emigrated from present day Nigeria to settle in Ghana. Therefore ge Ref Laryea has roots from Nigeria and has emotional ties to that country so its natural for him to be biased towards Nigeria its just natural we all saw the clear handball in the Nigeria 18 he clearly ignored. Why did he ignore that handball against nigeria?

Stop the Whining: Referees Don’t Score Goals
If referees decided football matches, Nigeria would be world champions by now—on social media at least. The dragging of Ghanaian referee Daniel Laryea after Nigeria’s defeat reeks less of injustice and more of pre-match paranoia finally looking for a scapegoat.
The Mind Games Started Before the First Whistle
Let’s be honest: the narrative was written the moment Laryea was announced as referee.
A Ghanaian referee?
Against Nigeria?
Cue the conspiracy theories, social media tantrums, and pressure tactics. When you shout “bias” before kickoff, don’t be shocked when every correct decision feels like an insult afterward.
This wasn’t outrage — it was pre-emptive excuse-building.
The “Penalty” That Never Was (And Never Should Be)
The loudest cry came from the Calvin Bassey handball incident, which somehow became a national emergency.
Facts (not vibes):
The ball deflected off Bassey’s body
Then made contact with his arm
His arm was in a natural position
Zero intentional movement toward the ball
By IFAB laws, that is NOT a penalty — unless football rules are now decided by Twitter threads and WhatsApp forwards.
Laryea didn’t “rob” Nigeria.
He simply knew the rules.
Selective Blindness: Decisions Nigeria Benefited From
Funny how outrage has a short memory:
Several soft fouls went Nigeria’s way in midfield
Time-wasting by Nigerian players was largely ignored
Tactical fouls that could’ve earned yellow cards… mysteriously forgiven
But no one’s dragging the ref for those, right? Silence suddenly becomes sportsmanship.
Referees Don’t Miss Open Chances
Let’s address the elephant on the pitch:
The referee didn’t waste clear chances
He didn’t misplace final passes
He didn’t switch off defensively
Nigeria lost because they didn’t do enough to win, not because a referee followed the law book instead of fan fiction.
When Losing Hurts, Blame the Whistle
Dragging the referee has become football’s oldest coping mechanism:
Lose the match → blame the ref
Ignore missed chances → blame the ref
Forget tactical flaws → blame the ref
It’s easier than admitting the opponent executed better on the day.
Final Whistle: The Ref Wasn’t the Problem
Daniel Laryea didn’t have a “terrible” game — he had a disciplined, law-abiding one, which unfortunately didn’t align with Nigeria’s preferred outcome.
This wasn’t a robbery.
This wasn’t bias.
This was football — minus the excuses.
And next time, maybe focus less on the referee’s passport and more on what happens between the two goalposts.

NAIJA BOYS were not good enough tatical enough for the Morroco Boys ,whiles they are running with the ball Naija rather slow down their game, upfront Osimen was lost ,he hardly could control the ball completely lost on the field, lookman had only one shot on goal and that was the only shot from Naija team for the entire 120minutes of play, Naija should thank their goalkeeper who did alots of good savings and my hero in that team , and i think the referee should have awarded apenalty against Naija , finally i think the referee was very fair to both teams because the was a lots of rough play but the referee handle it more proffesionally to valm nerves ,,losing on penalty kicks shouldnt be blamed on the referee ,anyways the sport rivalry between our two nations will never end no matter whats ,but my only worry was that the VAR was never active at least they should have call for a review on the handball in Naijas 18 for a little hearts shake ...haha

In my point of view, I saw them played better than Morocco, but they squandered a whole lot of chances upfront. Today Osimem operated very well from midfield instead of attacking and I think he would have been more , more useful at the upfront . In such tournaments if you squander numerous chances like the Super Eagles did, it always goes against you. In all the Eagles did very well

As expected, Nigeria will always blame everyone or something else but themselves, if it is not juju, then it is the referee. The referee even helped them out of conceeding a penalty in the game. It was a good game alright, but Nigerians got used to winning easily at this afcon and could not accept the fact that they are very bad penalty kickers. All in all, the best game ever at this year's afcon but Morocco playing before a home crowd were the better side! No blames to the Ghanaian referee. This is a case of expecting to see a ghost in a dark room and seeing one! The Nigerians expected a Ghanaian referee to go against them and forced same to happen in their minds. Shameful!

Larea was disgraceful and set off from the beginning to shackle the Nigerian team with the completely undeserved yellow card to Calvin Bassey for a foul committed against him, but ended up been punished with a card and freekick close to the Nigerian box less than 5 minutes from start!

That set up fear and nervousness on the Nigerian team. Morroco players did far worst dangerous and Larea did not issue them one single card whilst issuing 2 Yellow Cards to Nigerian players.

There was clearly a psychological shacklement of the Alata boys by the referee and the Morrocan players with their home crowd. Anyone who watch the qtr final match in which they convincingly beat Algeria and all their earlier games would agree that both referee, CAF and the Moroccan fans and crowd demoralised the Nigerian team from playing their normal game.
To be fair Penalty shootouts is a lottery, but at the end of the day the better team- Morocco won.

Chukwueze and the other player who missed their penalties prove that Nigeria was not prepared for penalties. They got carried away by their Sterling performance against Algeria. They thought all teams were the same, so they adopted the same tactics against the high flying Morroco and failed.
Look at Chukwueze's positioning before he took the penalty. If you are not left footed or can use both feet and you stand behind the ball the way Chukwueze did, there is only one direction your kick will go. The experienced Moroccan goalkeeper knew it and grabbed the ball easily. Nigerians should blame their coach and players, NOT Ref Laryea.

My Omo Nigerian people....baawo ni? Abi na you dey or you no dey? I troway salute to all my Nija people. But let's be fair, you can't blame the referee for this mess. Let be sincere...Nigeria didn't come to play. I was shocked the way the attackers were completely overpowered by the Moroccan defenders. Where was Lukemon, where was Ajayi, and where was Osiamen? How many shots at goal did these players make? I mean let's call spade a spade. This was the worst performance by the Super Eagles in the tournament. I have been routing all along for the boys because of the way they were playing. Most of us rated them the best team in Africa now. So what happened? You can blame the referee all what you want....but what about the penalties? Was that also the fault of the referee? Nigeria was eliminated from the world cup by DR Congo because of the poor shot out of the penalties. Did you blame the referee? Admit the fact that you played poorly today and you messed up your chances by not scoring your penalties. Let's play you can beat Egypt for the 3rd Place and get the Bronze medal. You should blame yourselves for your defeat....period.

Did the referee take some of the penalty kicks or guided the goal posts?. They failed to make an impact for over 120mins of regular play. what were they expecting from the referee?

The Nigerian fans have a point. There were some infringements of jersey pulling on 3 Super Eagles players and the referee still whistled for Morocco. Notwithstanding, the referee was not responsible for the Nigerian loss.

With all the insults from Ghanaians pertaining to the semi final match between Nigeria and Morocco, the present Nigerian team, will beat your black jackals hands down severally. You are lucky you qualified for the world cup, but I can assure you, you can't go beyond the group stage. Even if you have qualified for the nations cup, the same thing would have applied, not going beyond the group stage. Can you compare your players with Nigerian players? I don't even know why we banter with you. Your mates are Benin republic and Togo, the countries closest to you. You feel equal with Nigeria, whereas Nigeria see you as a size of a state in Nigeria.

With 50-50 chances at the penalties, how could the referee prevent Nigeria from scoring? Go for a deep self-examination Naija.

Though the Moroccans had more respect for the Nigerians than the Algerians did, I honestly think if the ref reviews his performance, he will agree with the Nigerians. He was not consistent, what he punished Naija for the Moroccans had a field day. They fouled, they faked, they feigned yet no yellow cards. Hitherto, refereeing had been praised, but I did not hear a word about the performance of this ref. Silence means a lot. Let's see what happens at subsequents competitions. Will he be invited?

Even before the match everybody knew that if Nigeria loses they will blame the referee because he's a Ghanaian. That was the prejuidice they held against the referee because they presumed that Ghanaians and Nigeria are serious rivals.
But you see how God made it. He allowed the game to go into penalties so that both countries will have the equal chance of winning and therefore Nigeria will not say that the referee favoured the host nation. The referee didn't disallow a goal from either team, he didn't show any team a red card to give a numerical advantage to the opponent. I don't know how a yellow card impacted on their strength and ability to score. Let's be fair I didn't see how terrible the officiating was. I think the blame is more of the prejudice they held against the referee mainly because he's a Ghanaian.
