France ended the dream of Morocco to arrive and win the World Cup by defeating it 2-0 in the semifinals, but as a reward, the Moroccans will play the honorable third place in the tournament, an appointment that will take place next Saturday, December 13 against Croatia.
Despite having been a combative team in which few goals were conceded, Morocco also had its controversies against it and they were referee decisions from the entire referee list, during the semifinal against France, where despite this, they ended up with a good game. .
For this reason, once the match was over, the Moroccan Federation filed a complaint with FIFA, mentioning that two penalties were not sanctioned by the Mexican referee César Ramos, making clear their discontent and fear that they have for the match against Croatia.
“The FRMF has sent a letter to the competent body outlining the arbitration situations that deprived our team of two indisputable penaltiesin the opinion of various arbitration specialists,” said the Moroccan team in a statement.
Similarly, Morocco reported that apart from the bad decisions of the central judge Ramos, they were also embarrassed by the decisions of the VAR, recalling that it was operated by the Colombian, Nicolás Gallo.
“We are surprised that the VAR room has not intervened or alerted of the fouls. The Royal Moroccan Football Federation affirms that it will not hesitate to defend the rights of our team, asking for equity in the adoption of the necessary measures in the face of arbitration injustice,” the statement concluded.
For the moment, FIFA has not given an answer to Morocco about the performance of the Latin shortlist in the match against France, which again involves refereeing from the continent of America.
