Another red card for Mali as they were beaten 1-0 by Senegal in the first of the Quarter finals.

This was Mali's 3rd red card of the tournament and their 3rd game in a row with a red card and they only played 5 games. Naughty boys.

 

Tournament hosts Morocco skooshed Cameroon 2-0 in the other of today's QFs.

They're looking pretty good.

Algeria fooling themselves they could just contain Nigeria.

 

2-0 on 54 minutes. 

Posted

Nigeria are a very good side. Strong and skillful all over the pitch. Algeria have made no impact whatsoever. 

Posted (edited)

Algeria haven't laid a finger on Nigeria all game.

Been far, far too easy for Nigeria.

 

Winner plays hosts Morocco in the Semis.

 

Egypt/Ivory Coast the last of the Quarter Finals coming up next, with the winner playing Senegal in the Semis.

Egypt 1-0 up in the 4th minute

Ivory Coast score to bring it back to 3-2 with around 20 mins to go.

Senegal 0-0 Egypt at HT in the first semi.

A truly appalling game of football.

Yellow cards aplenty but nothing else to report.

Tbh, I think you've hit nail on head with first half review. So bad.

Seemed a nailed on draw at the start.   I'm not watching it.   Not surprised to read it's a dire game.

Senegal score a scrappy goal from a deflection on about 75 mins.

Going into injury time now.

Egypt have been utter pish.

Posted

Shocking result for Egypt 

 

Posted

Knackered from the 3-2 win over defending champs Ivory Coast last time out?

Or were Egypt just pish?

Penalties between Nigeria and Morocco after dreadful game.

I would put Morocco's support on a par with Argentina's, best that I have seen. That was quite special at the end there, would be magic to experience it. 

Posted

Morocco should be leading

Posted

Senegal bossing the game but Morocco making the better chances.

Match on a knife edge.

Eyebrow probably. I remember splitting my eyebrow and the blood pouring out was almost instantly, much to the horror of the people I was with. A couple of hours and 9 stitches later I was right as rain apart from a headache and a cracking bruise for a while.

Typical final .

Especially internation ones.

I've not really paid too much attention to this.

Has it been decent or a let down?

Posted

Been a better game than the two semi finals were, both were absolutely feckin dire.

Some lady 15.

That's got to stand as a goal FFS.

After what just happened at the other end this would be scandalous if given.

Why did it have to stand? It was against the home team. The whole things set up and rigged for Morocco to win.

Wonder just how much Morocco had to pay to persuade the referee to throw the game. It's something for the GFA to look at and admire thinking how they can develop their influence in Scotland.

Who would have thought that the African cup would fall apart as a corrupt tournament? Nobody who has ever dealt with Africa in business thus for sure.

Utter shambles with one team walking off while ref stands there knowing money is in his bank account.

Get all these teams chucked out the world cup, especially Morocco, and award Brazil m, Scotland and Haiti 3 points.Devalues the whole tournament when only home team is allowed to win.

Do they realise they are going to  e banned for this

 

Daft bench staff encouraging players off the field. Crazy

Posted

Senegal players walking off.

 

I've thought about this situation before when injustice arises.

 

 

Posted

Senegal score a ligit goal, then walk off after a pen awarded to Morocco deep into injury time.

Posted

Classic AFCON

Moroccan players pleading for Senegal to return. After all, they've paid good money for this victory and they want their monies worth.

Posted

English commentators having the cheek to allude to host nations getting the benefit of decisions.

:rofl:

Posted

I just got in and started watching with 5 minutes to go of regulation time.

 

It looked like Senegal were doing pretty well.

We should start doing the walk off. 

 

Senegal have been robbed here.

Posted

And the Senegal players have left the field.

Down the tunnel now. This is completely nuts. 

Posted

They will be punished hard for walking off, but you know what...

 

...I might do the same.
