Boniface misses the tournament because of injury. Nigeria has been underachieving for some years now, and the odds are it will continue in this tournament too.

Amoura will miss the first because of a suspension
We are playing Angola so it should be ok
I mean, I hope

Senegal's stars are now older and no longer playing in top leagues, so they might not be what they were in the last tournament. And Sadio Mane might have other things in his mind, having just now married his long-time 16-year old girlfriend.
Maybe Morocco can win after their WC-success, and hosts Ivory Coast have to be considered amongst favourites.

Yes, sorry, misremembered the article, where they mentioned she was 16 when they started to date.

Fares Chaibi. 20 years old
Toulouse product (won the French Cup last season), now playing really well for Eintracht in Buli
Super talent, can play both MF or LW roles
Has been incredibly consistent with the NT, even in his first game with us he looked like he has been with the team forever
He has also adjusted quickly to African football (terrible pitches heat, etc).
I'm a huge fan.
----------------------------------------
Also the GK, Mandrea, he has impressed me so far
We will need him because our central defense is the football equivalent of Dr Jekyll and Mt Hyde

Yep nice player. Of course people thinking L1 sucks because PSG is the only team with quality won't know that

L1 teams in general can't keep their talents because they don't have money compared to other Euro clubs, that's why PSG wins the ttle almost - almost -every yearYep nice player. Of course people thinking L1 sucks because PSG is the only team with quality won't know that
But yeah a bunch of french clubs have great academies

Didn't expect seeing Aouar and Gouiri to be playing for Algeria instead of France when they were younger.
Interesting to watch them in the tournament, though.

Meh
Flip floppers
Boggles my mind as we have better talents locally but Belmadi is too stupid to see it
At least Aouar has done some some good things with the NT in the last few games, Gouiri has been ass
Unrelated but WTF

Never claimed Ligue 1 was bad. They have the best young players in all Europe but they also have to constantly sell their young players to remain afloat financially the problem is the disparity from PSG to the rest. PSG wage bill is higher than the next 8 highest paid L1 clubs COMBINED.Yep nice player. Of course people thinking L1 sucks because PSG is the only team with quality won't know that
No other league has that, not Serie A, not bundesliga, not la liga and not the EPL.

Also, having young talent doesn't mean a league is good.
Which is why, relevant to this message board, I don't regularly watch the CHL
If you think L1 only has young talent you need to watch. I wouldn't even say more I would say discover. Because watching PSG only is not making you an expert. Quite the contrary.
Paqueta is young for instance? CHL equivalent?
Just asking.
Because the comparison is so hilariously bad it's funny. Then again...
This thread is all over the place. Fake birth dates, DR Congo a team? Mane with a 16 year old girlfriend..
For the record, I really enjoy Ligue 1, often frantic, crazy action. I don't see as much with it on FUBO... even though I have an account. It was always easier to PVR matches when I had BEIN on my regular TV. Now it's out of sight out of mind.

As an African, nothing surprises me anymore
I enjoy it, it's part of the charm
