AFCON 2019

Great result for Ghana, I did not expect them to end up topping the group. I got a good feeling that they will be able to redeem their fourth place finish in 2017.

Morocco are immediately out, after losing to Benin on penalties.

 

[Ajacied]

Ziyech missed a few golden opportunities.

 

[gary69]

Senegal take the lead after 15 mins, who else but Mane (after a nice through ball).

Uganda getting a free pass from the refs. The goalkeeper should have been clearly sent out on a 2nd yellow.

 

[JeffreyLFC]

Perfect textbook tackle from Koulibaly what a travesty from the refs. This is clearly ridiculous.

Morocco are immediately out, after losing to Benin on penalties.

Hard to believe given the roster they have and the way Benin conceded the tying goal. Throw in the penalty miss.....We miss out on a Senegal/Morocco quarter.

 

[PanniniClaus]

Nigeria and Cameroon...barnburner. 2-2

 

[PanniniClaus]

Iwobi....goals in bunches. Ighalo has been unstoppable.

 

[HajdukSplit]

Egypt out and deservedly so too, South Africa were the better team. I haven’t been impressed with Egypt these last few years despite the hype around them (mostly Salah but honestly that’s all they have)

 

[Savant]

Glad Salah will be back early

It was an awesome move and finish for the goal. South Africa make some noise for the first time in a while.

[Savant]

Thank god he didn't show up before the CL final

 

[PanniniClaus]

Madagascar and DR Congo tied at 1 at half.

 

[Power Man]

In b4 Guinee scores 4 goals

Madagasgar dream story continues, at least Algeria took care of business.

Yeah but we haven’t had any real test yet

Yeah but we haven’t had any real test yet

Senegal disagree

 

[Power Man]

Senegal disagree

Eh we were the better team but not by a big margin, and the referee didn’t do them any favour in that game

Besides, I believe Senegal will get better moving forward

 

[N o o d l e s]

Algeria is gonna win this tournament

 

[Power Man]

Algeria is gonna win this tournament

Don’t jinx it man

 

[robertmac43]

Big test for Ghana today, Tunisia is solid all over the pitch.

Ivory Coast has been terrible throughout the game and their keeper is shaky. Mali could have scored at least a couple of goals, but instead the Ivorians take the lead with 15 mins to go (Zaha scored).

It's my first complete viewing of Nicolas Pepe and if it was not for the hype I would believe he is a poor ligue 2 player. What a awful display. I rarely base my opinion on one viewing but I cannot understand how there are teams lininp up to pay above €40M for him. No vision, no intensity, no defensive commitment, nothing except losing the ball on every of his touch. I expected way better.
