Seemed eternity between the penalties but hosts go through and Senegal go out. Pretty sure winner went right at keepers head but don't think the Ivorians care.

Fraggle Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Was watching some of the game last night on BBC. At half time, when they showed the highlights of the other games, who the hell was the annoying commentator? The one who was getting overly, super excited and shouty at any chance at goal. The sound engineers must utterly hate him. I get the feeling either, he is trying to make a name for himself ala Jonathan Pearce back the CH5 days, or someone on the production team is encouraging him to be so OTT. Whatever it is, by far the worst commentator on TV, even more so than the woman on Match of the Day with the annoying voice. Back on topic, the goals of the tournament, so far, had some utter pearler howitzer specials (though some of the keeping leaves much to be desired).

Sooperstar Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 After a slow start Cape Verde are looking good here. South Africa will be keen for the half time whistle. I do think the CV captain is quite lucky not to have received a 2nd booking though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tian447 Posted February 3 Author Share Posted February 3 Semi Finals Nigeria v South Africa. Cote d'Ivoire V DR Congo. Feel bad for Cape Verde, they have had some great results in the tournament, especially for such a small nation. With the quality so far, literally any of them could win it.

If he hasn't, the shite penalty from Bebé would have gone in. Bebé in general was awful tonight. Had a few shots that should have been passes, and one toward the end that was truly awful and nearly went out for a throw in. Not sure where he thinks the ego is justified from, but he's nowhere near as good as he thinks he is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
