African Nations Cup

I think it's more likely the specialist in Spain simply worked out our 'medical team' had fitted his knee back on the wrong way round.

 

Guess which word I dislike

 

Words?

 

This is a cracking game!!!

Is It Leroy Rosenior who is co-commentating?

 

Yes, indeed it is.

 

I would like Senegal to lose a lot, but I don't think they will.

 

How many Sarr’s do Senegal need? Couldn’t they just let ours go?

 

Assist for our Sarr.

 

Practising setting up Mane for next season.

 

Wouldn’t be surprised if Sarr starts the final, changed the game after coming on.

 

The BBC commentary is utter trash. Mane this, Mane that…zzzzzz.

 

Surely the lowest scoring international tournament ever played?

 

Repeat of England v Italy. Self indulgent berks missing their pens with stutter steps and 2 step run ups.

 

What a sh1t game that was.

 

It is incredible that they can kick a ball normally all match until a penalty kick neccitates a strange dance and skip in the 3 yards required to get to the ball.

 

Silly of Cameroon to have attended the Diana Ross penalty seminar!

 

Yep so much overthinking things combined with vanity. Just leather it into top corner. If you blast over hey ho!

 

I'm not sure about that, but the tournament needs 8 goals in the final two games to even match the 2019 tournament's total number of goals, which was under 2 per game...

 

It’s strange. Always AFCON seems a bit low scoring. Plenty of good attackers on show so maybe lots of poor pitches?

 

Poor pitches, sapping conditions (even in the winter), and players coming from all over the world without much time to prepare together are my guesses

 

You certainly can't blame poor pitches. Years ago all pitches were terrible, yet loads of goals were scored.

 

There has always been an issue in the NFL with a relative lack of black Quarter Backs, I was thinking maybe the coaches of most African teams just don’t end up having the high profile jobs and thus the experience that say, European coaches do. But then that wouldn’t necessarily translate in to low scoring games, possibly quite the opposite.

 

The 2010 World Cup was like this too iirc

 

And that's in probably the coolest country in Africa temperature-wise, imagine if it were near the equator!

 

With Sunday in mind:

WASAW???

 

Sarr actually is starting, amusingly enough.

 

Hopefully a sign he has fully recovered then.
No reason for him to miss our next game!

 

Either the celebrations or the flight not withstanding

 

That's amazing, not sure you'll ever see a more stonewall peno than that. Open and shut case.

 

Incredibly spectacular peno and save aesthetically.

 

Sarr put two crosses which should have been goals already. Mane is gash

 

I'm gonna start supporting Senegal. **** Watford.
