I just realised its a dead rubber, as the above dude says, they are playing the reserves, they are already through.

Oh arse. Thought it was knockouts already.

Senegal v Cameroon on Saturday

 

[The Cowboy]

We miss you Idrissa ........come on Senegal..

The RS missing Mane a lot more than we're missing Gana (thanks to Davies & co), so come on Senegal indeed.

 

[Sennott Street]

Algeria 1 up.

One all, now. Where's Mane? Not on the bench and no news about being injured.

 

[CynicalBlue]

Slimani just scored a complete mis-kick for Algeria's and his second.

Senegal rotating players for this one. Gana and some of their other top players on the bench. Looks like Tunisia will join them in the knockout stages.

this is the annoying thing about tournament football, it can come down to luck of the draw really. Even when you play every team twice ala champions league groups, you could fluke getting to play the top seeds reserve team.

Wilf booked and subbed by Ivory Coast who are losing to Morocco and heading out,

this is the annoying thing about tournament football. It could come down to the luck of the draw really. You could finish an uninspiring 2nd in your group and luck out by drawing some minnow like Iceland in the knockout rounds.

You'd be hacked off if Iceland knocked you out of Afcon.

I actually hope Senegal go on and win it. Would be good for Gana to get himself a winners medal. We need more winners in our squad
