African Cup of Nations 2022

Saw the second one though

That should be that now

Brave effort from The Gambia though

 

[PITA]

Awful game.

I thought this might be okay to watch while the PL is on a break, but i think watching paint dry would be more enjoyable, it;'s being played halfway through a season so the poor play cannot be blamed on fatigue.

The standard is truly awful, even the so called historical teams struggle to beat tiny island countries.

I feel ashamed to have some actual Ugandan ancestry, i cannot believe Uganda couldn't even get a team there over the likes of tiny islands like Comoros and Cape Verde that have the population of a Camden pub on saturday night.

Obviously we were wrong to think you are a RS.

I see "clear and obvious error" doesn't exist any more in AFCON than it does in the PL.

Clear and obvious error is a terrible standard to run things by. Stop trying to judge how wrong something is.

Now this also means we probably need to limit the scope of VAR but still, once we're using it just make a decision.

In last nights game it was to determine whether an elbow that the ref has seen and booked someone for was in fact a red (based on all the same things he’d seen the first time).

The Senegal game is on BB2 shortly.

Penalty to Senegal. Gueye's volley handled by Tapsoba. Hits his arm, but tight in and not a penalty for me. VAR checks, sends the referee over, and he waives it away. Correct decision and a goalless but entertaining first half.

Ŕeally surprised at the poor quality on offer at tonight's game. Senegal just gone one up but other than individual party tricks from players the teamwork is poor.
Lots of hoofball. Have all the games been like this.

Gana makes it two!

Can't help thinking what might have been.

I think this has been great

Like the looks of Koulibaly, monster of a player, first time I've ever seen him play.

Yeah he's been good for Napoli for years. Weird to me he stayed there basically his entire prime.

 

[tsubaki]

now come on and do these, Cameroon

Salah just been hit by a sniper in the crowd, 3 rollovers and foot amputated
