Another game finishes 1-0, thought Nigeria looked decent but Egypt weren’t great. Both will likely qualify from the group.0

When 4 of the 6 3rd place teams go through it encourages draws and low risk.Chris_from_Sidcup said:6 games so far.

What have I just witnessed
Ref blew the Full time whistle after 85 minutes.
He was then told it was a bit early so played on, he blew it again after 89 minutes and 50 seconds.
This despite 2 lengthy VAR checks and a water break.
Either the ref has a prior engagement or there is some corruption going on5 -
Probably had an email from an African Prince that had 100b to give away, in return for a favour.paulie8290 said:What have I just witnessed

My friend's daughters other half in The Gambia squad so gonna root for them. They got Mauritania today2

Blatant corruption.
The whole thing is Sunday league level.1 -
and to think Ian Wright says the competition is not given the respect it deserves2

Apparently match is going to replayed for 3 mins. It’s like when you leave work early and say you will make up the time, and they actually expect you to do it.paulie8290 said:What have I just witnessed

Probably the most exciting thing that’s happened in the tournament so far to be fair!0

Be interesting to know how many people in Africa watched the Euros last year? Were they interested?0

This is parody ffs0

Tunisia blew the last 3 minutes out.
Appeal incoming0 -
If our games in the Championship had ended three minutes early we wouldn't have been relegated.2

Tbf I think he's got a point, insofar as international representation is in many schools of thought regarded as the pinnacle of football. Yes AFCON is both yearly, and takes places during the club season - but it's an international tournament.Swisdom said:and to think Ian Wright says the competition is not given the respect it deserves
That all said... this has been bizarre. The CAF's own YouTube stream of one of the games a couple of days ago was taken down for infringing CAF copyright. It then happened again yesterday!
And then there was the team photo where one of the geezers is wearing a massive watch, which... just looked hilarious.
Now we've got the press conference being interrupted to play the final three minutes of a game - absolutely amazing.
Not even started on the Sierra Leone keeper but that was hilarious too.1 -
The sales of envelopes have gone up in Cameroon.2

I’ve just watched the second half in total disbelief. The subs took forever and the last 15 minutes was so stop start. Should have been 10 minutes injury time. Time keeping should be done by an off field official like in virtually every other sport.0

Putting aside the weird circumstances surrounding the game, that’s a big result for Mali who should top their group from here.Callumcafc said:Mali 20/1 e/w looks a shout. That price will come in nicely if they get a result against Tunisia.
Incredibly strong in WC qualifying. 11 scored and none conceded. Admittedly not super strong competition but that should see them notch six group points against Gambia and Mauritania.
Now best price 12/10 -
National anthems not working on this game now0

Welcome to AFCON. It's generally a shambles, awful football, terrible pitches, hardly any goals........but that's all part of the attraction.Swisdom said:

Gambia fans bringing the party. Big fan of their kit.0

Good quality goal, number 10 Barrow who plays for Bologna sent two players for a hot dog, and lovely finish from outside the box.0
-
They played the wrong national anthem for Mauritania TWICE and then gave up and asked the players to sing it without any music. What a tournament!ValleyGary said:National anthems not working on this game now

Ivory Coast just gone 1-0 up early through Max Gradel. They have some decent strength in depth, Pepe and Zaha on the bench, they'd walk into most other African nations first teams.0 -
Awful watch so far.0

Ivory Coast win 1-0.
The 9th 1-0 in 12 games.0
