AFCON and Football in Africa

Nsue is at it again.

The guy who assisted did incredibly well, just ran past about 4 Ivory Coast players before picking him out.

It’s difficult to mark him when you don’t think he’s and issue.

Wow, what a free kick. 2-0 Equa Guinea.

Ivory Coast have had 2 goals ruled out for offsides, time taken to come to both - 74 seconds.

In the Prem they’d still have been checking the first one.

3-0

What a calamity at the back. The hosts embarrassing themselves now. Concede about 20 seconds after kick off :rofl:

For all the hate AFCON and international football gets, I see it’s pretty well watched here.

:joy:

Expecting Egypt to win tonight but doesn’t look like finishing 3rd with 3 points (draw tonight + no draw in Ghana v Mozambik) will qualify them for the K.O. stage.

I love it. Only Internationals I’ll never understand are meaningless friendlies…plus as long as our players all come back healthy, don’t see what there is to complain too much about.

None of us would hate it if our player wasn’t involved. It’s purely out of concern for the well being of our lads.

This solo commentator in the Egypt game is fucking hilarious. Dude sounds like he’s falling off his chair every 10 seconds.

Oh deaaaaar I fucking love VAR hahahaha.

Fair play, I agree give that decision. Beautiful finish.

Fucking drama like you wouldn’t believe it.

Even with the help of Cape Verde’s 2nd string, Ghana fuck it up by conceding 2 goals in stoppage time.

So is Egypt out of it?

Just looking 3rd in group C/D looks awkward in the quarters

Euro qualifier mismatches are just as boring and shite where strikers can pad the stats.

I heard Lineker a while back rueing the fact that he didn’t have too many chances to bolster his stats against the likes of Vatican City and Narnia.

It is hard to compare, bit like test cricket.

There has to be a format that works, the nations league to me would be sensible solution I feel with those who top the groups having a playoff chance. Give more chance of qualifying than it does now.

Ghana conceded two goals in the added time :laughing:

If just knock out anyone who hasn’t won and play the tournament out of those teams. 3rd place awards failure

Naby v Mane right now, 55mins in and Naby’s not gone down yet…

…annnnnd Sadio’s just missed an open goal :rofl:

Senegal 1-0

Brilliant free kick delivery by Diatta, right on the money. Seck powers the header home.

Diatta would be a good utility player for us, can play LW CF RW or RB.
