“I also know that we are not going to play the final because of this protest,” Regragui said. “But it’s good to say something from you sometimes. France also protested a disallowed goal against Tunisia at this World Cup? It’s not that strange.”
According to Regragui and the Moroccan federation, Mexican referee César Romas should have whistled a penalty during the semi-finals after a duel between French defender Theo Hernández and striker Sofiane Boufal. “But he didn’t. He even gave Boufal a yellow card. Then no video referee was called. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying we would have won if we had been awarded a penalty But we would have deserved a penalty.”
