Mohamed Salah to play Africa Cup of Nations final even after mysterious underhand abuse! Is that fair?

Football and harsh words have gone together for many years. The exchange of opinions between footballers in emotion was, so to speak, a natural part of the game. Nowadays, however, this trend is changing rapidly and insults of any nature are severely punished, although probably not everywhere.

On the African continent, millions of spectators are looking forward to the AFCON final, in which Senegal and Egypt will face off. At the same time, fans are looking forward to the clash between Liverpool stars Sadio Mané and Mohamed Salah.

Anyway, for Czech spectators it may be surprising that the star Egyptian can enter the match. Why shouldn’t he?

Well the answer is simple, he made a big extempore at the referee in the semi-final and at times covered his mouth.

Does that remind you of anything? Ondřej Kúdela insulted Glen Kamara and covered his mouth and UEFA immediately punished him. According to Glen Kamara, the Czech defender should have committed racism and the main argument of all the accusations against Kúdela was that he covered his mouth.

However, there is no relevant evidence of what Kúdela said at that time in the match between Slavia and Rangers.

However, FIFA is not UEFA and did not address Salah’s excesses in any way. See for yourself the interesting comparison, in any case we don’t know what really came out of the mouths of the actors.

For the less astute, the clip itself is accompanied by a snatched commentary. What Salah was really shouting at the referee is the big unknown.
