The penalty is given and then Senegal is against it and they decide to walk off the field.

And if I'm the referee, I'm saying, listen, the game is going to go on.

Are you coming to play or are you going over there?

Are you going to the locker room so you're not going to be on the field?

You forfeit the right to actually to protest.

You forfeit the right to voice whatever your concerns are when you decide to walk off the field.

And in a sense, you forfeit the game.

I don't understand why the referee doesn't just continue to play.

We cannot allow teams that don't like a call to think that they have the power to just walk off the field.

You walk off the field, you're no longer able to compete.

You're not able to compete, you lose the game.

Simple as that.

Some may think it's harsh, but a team that decides to walk off the field, not because of some safety concern or because they have been forced off the field, they on their own decided to walk off the field and their manager takes them off the field, okay, you don't wanna play, you're forfeiting the game, Morocco, welcome, here you go, here's your trophy, you win this whole thing.

Now, it would take some guts to do it if you're the referee, but that would have been my decision as a referee, listen,

I would go to the team captain.

I would go to the manager.

You decide to walk off the field, we're going to continue to play.

Since you're not available to play, that means that there's no team for Morocco to compete against.

It's a forfeit.

See you guys later.
