I sit on both sides of the fence on this one. On paper, this is our governance bodies actually using the laws of the game for a change.

Article 82 states that if a team refuses to play or leaves the ground before the end of regulation time without the referee's authorisation, it will be considered the loser and eliminated from the competition.

Article 84 complements this provision, stating that any team that violates Articles 82 will be permanently eliminated and will lose the match 3-0.

In a world where referee's were not incompetent and corrupt it would be quite normal for a referee just to cancel the match when a team walked off and award the 3-0. However, in the situation where we find ourselves with referees, who can blame teams for walking off. Part of me wants Tudor to pull our guys off the pitch when we see the weekly mess from PGMOL.
 
If it was against the rules the game should not have restarted. When a referee makes mistakes that's the end of it. Are they going to litigate referees decisions that decide a match?

If Morocco had won they would have accepted the result on the field rather than declare the match a forfeit. This is an inverse double jeopardy.

P.S. CAF do like their rules. Togo got a ban when they refused to play immediate after they coach had been attacked by terrorists and several people killed. They were disqualified and banned from the next two tournaments. Rules are rules

Your first paragraphs nails it for me. We live in a football world where the officials never have any consequences for their performances. You are spot on. The ref should have not let Senegal come back on and awarded the game 3-0 to Morocco.

From what I remember reading, this entire tournament had lost the spirit of the game. It was a befitting end.
