HMFC01 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Right I'm calling this one. 2-1. Morocco + Youssef En-Nesyri anytime. Should've a much better match regardless of score or scorer. Probably end 0-0, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, based on the 3 and a half games I've seen so far, it gets exactly the credit it deserves. It's been diabolical so far, but to be honest, I'm not sure I'd fancy running around in near 30 degree temperatures with 80%-odd humidity. The players have been absolutely dripping with sweat in the games I've watched so far. Much rather play in the pissing rain and wind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first, I thought that plan would end up more like an American Football game with all the water breaks every time the ball went out of play Interestingly, the temperature average in Cameroon seems to pretty stable all year round and actually gets the highest temperatures around April-ish, but it rains like **** in the summer which is why they changed it.

As most have said so far on the thread the standard of football in the opening two games left a lot to be desired, Morocco versus Ghana might be a bit better quality and presumably the tournament will get better once it reaches the knock out stage. If nothing else it is football on the box. Or there again maybe not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decent attacking, counterattacking. Might as well call the group stages the warm up rounds though. Should be at least a goal in this game. Next match will be the same most likely. 0-0; Nigeria-Egypt.

tian447 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Another 90 minutes, another dire game of football. Even if you just watched the condensed highlights at the end, it would feel like a waste of time. I'll still watch them regardless, they're good to have on in the background, but it's been a bit pish so far. 9 goals in 8 games, including games with the bigger teams really isn't a good performance so far. Sudan v Guinea-Bissau to finish 6-6 please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamdub Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 One of the greatest players in my time watching football, the magical Pele, said one day an African country will win the World Cup. I always wondered about the side effects of that wee blue tab called Viagra that he he promoted, it might have done wonders for your 'old John Thomas' but it maybe affected other parts of your brain.
