AFCON 2024; 13 January – 11 February 2024

There it is!

Then the obvious solution would be to develop your own Jonny Evans.

We can do that

Really happy this is on Fubo, means I can try and watch as much as possible

Me too subscibed for 3 months in late December because they offered 3 months at 40% off, and I thought why not I can watch some PL during the holidays

Then I realized they had BeIN and I could watch AFCON without having to use shitty streams

 

[Power Man]

Mandi - Bensemaini looks good to me. Both are starters in their club team but at the same time, i havent seen them in the Algerian shirt. But they should be good.

Your midfield looks strong. Bennacer as the key player and then Bentaleb, Feghouli and Aouar.

I like the team

Yeah Mandi and Ramy have been solid during their last 3 games with their respective clubs.
Mandi is still capable of stupid blunders once in a while.

It’s better than back in September when we beat Senegal in Dakar 1-0 , we would have conceded 4 goals if not for our GK activating Lev Yachin mode and bailing out our defense.

Midfielders and forwards are not a concern at all to me, if the defense does its job we can win the whole thing.

 

[gary69]

All the underdogs Eq.Guinea, Kape Verde and Mosambique with good results for them today.

Yeah it's on BeIN here so I'm SOL

 

[al secord]

Egypt scored more than once and still couldn't beat Mozambique. They're a frustrating team to watch.

Fubo is using the BeIN stream. Was trying to catch Senegal v The Gambia and stream kept cutting to the crowd cos the feed had an issue though I guess that issue is with the tournament provider feed and maybe not BeIN, not sure.

Also bold combination of kit from The Gambia but fair play to them, it matches their flag (red shirt, blue shorts, green socks).

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Ghana is not looking good these days.....

They've definitely fallen off, but it also has to be said that Cabo Verde have secretly become a pretty solid side.

And in an interesting way. They don't really have many "stars". Which perhaps speaks to the quality of their manager

 

[Power Man]

Egypt has arguably the best RW in the World and they play him in midfield

I only watched the last ten minutes, but it looked like he was dropping deep just to try and start something? Was he in a midfield role all game?

I only watched the highlights but a friend of mine watched the full game and according to him he didn't spend much time in his natural position

He played as a number 9 for a good chunk of the game. Their service was awful so he got sucked back in midfield to try to get things going.

ah ok
thanks

 

[Power Man]

The lineup I was expecting

Except for Bounedjah instead of Slimani.... WTF

 

[Power Man]

The national anthem always gets me

 

[Power Man]

ROFL Mahrez totally missing his 1st touch

Forgive me, Bounedjah

 

[gary69]

Bounedjah, needed only one touch to score that good through ball, well done.

Edit: pretty scissors kick by him denied because of offside.

 

[Power Man]

HOLY SHIT' BOUNEDJAH

Edit : offside

would have a Puskas worthy goal

 

[Power Man]

Great communication on that FK, guys

And Bensebaini with yet another dumb yellow card

 

[Power Man]

Angola with 3 semi-dangerous attacks
We can't fall asleep

 

[Power Man]

Penalty for Angola

Oh well

That's what happens when you don't convert your chances

f***ing Bentaleb lol

 

[Power Man]

Our players falling asleep again , this time on the PK, not following up on the missed shot and letting 3 Angola players get in

Also, Ounas should be replacing Mahrez, not Belaili

 

[gary69]

Unless Malululu actually saw the ball cross the line from his PK, he shouldn't have touched it again before anyone else did and put it into net.

As the shot already went in first time bouncing from the bar, it doesn't matter in the end.

Yeah he was well ahead of everybody else as the penalty taker so it doesn't change anything at the end

But still, the other 2 red shirts just left our guys in the dust

Atal being a dumbass as usual


We look tired , we have certainly been outmuscled
