Senegal first side into the knockout stage and win the group with a game to spare (H2H is the tie-break in CAF). Algeria all but out, need to beat Senegal and hope Tunisia lose to Zimbabwe, plus there is goal difference to look at in that scenario

Yeah it's all over

Tunisia just needs a draw...and if we win and Zimbabe wins, Zimbabwe can't win by more than 1 goal if we want to go through

Some guy on another soccer site keeps predicting Zimbabwe through, he genuinely believes they're one of the best teams in the tournament :laugh:

Finally time to face RDC. You get so tired of the whole "fimbu", "chicoter" thing, about time to "fimbu" or "chicoter" them back.

Fire Dussuyer, he's a worthless POS. Literally no formation, no tactical anything, just kicking the ball thirty yards and pretending someone's on the end of it.

If we wanted a completely incompetent Coach we would hire a local league coach.

Gabon already out, failed to win a game as they drew all three and probably the end for Camacho who was only hired in December. Burkina Faso win the group due to goal difference (them and Cameroon had same H2H). So Senegal vs. Cameroon is the first knockout game already set. Burkina Faso will likely face Tunisia

Wait which part? Are we talking about Algeria not making the knockout rounds?

Man, just focus on the WCQ because that's what matters eh, gotta get a lot of things in order. We gotta win today too or else we're screwed too, which is weird but the first two games were just so *****ed up.

Well it looks like we are looking for a new coach now, Leekens has left that sinking ship

Only positive of this AFCON for me : Bensebaini was good, really good

Hanni showed some good stuff too

Fantastic curling strike from long range by Alioui to give Morocco the lead, Ivory Coast in serious trouble now, have to score twice in 25 minutes. DR Congo set to win the group, leading Togo, the second goal was comical, basically the Togo keeper punts the ball towards midfield where a DRC player kicks the ball back towards the Togo goal and Ndombe was somehow one on one with the keeper :laugh:

Sorry Kabidjan :-(

:laugh: Renard doing work tbh
He ain't done ****, Dussuyer is just the most goddam pathetic excuse for a coach I've ever seen. I'm begging for Lamouchi back and that's sad. Losing this will be good for us because we can fire the dead weight excuse for a trainer we have. There isn't a 5 year old in the world stupider than Michelle Dussuyer and he deserved to be jobless.
