AFCON 2025

4-0

have some!

Nigeria good. Opponents were awful. Could this tournament have been better served as a four? Algeria, Morocco, Nigeria, Senegal?

 

[Toffeeslam]

No major shocks so far and that’s unusual for an AFCON, the facilities have been very good dispite the rains they’ve pitched have stood up well.

Better pitches and facilities will suit the teams with the most players playing in the European leagues.

Previous AFCONs had pretty poor pitches which was a huge leveller. Anyway the tournament is getting tasty now it’s the top nations left

Caught only a few games but not been impressed with the refs. They def seem to be favouring the bigger countries.
And mo salah still dives like a tw@t.

Commentator and co commentator(daniel amokachi) mentioning Zinedine Zidanes son was playing for Algeria. Spent 5 minutes looking round the pitch to see if he played similar to his dad until i realised he's the keeper lol.

It has been Egypt as well who were the ones i meant. No idea if its a thing in African football but they do tend to get decisions in their favour more than anyone ive seen.

Yeah there like the Kopites of African football.

The result against South Africa where they won could have been 1-0 the other way

Mo dived and got a pen no one should get and the saffa’s were denied a clear one

But again Egypt dominated the game

 

[Rita_Poon]

2-0 no crying there.

 

[Rita_Poon]

good hit that, no saving it. 3-0

needed to cover that near post, poor gk.
