AFCON 2021 (24 Viewers)

[Bianconero81]

The tournament is slowly becoming more interesting. Algeria doing their best rendition of the Azzurri @ the 2010 world cup - a single point and bottom of their group after two games, losing to The Irrepressible Equatorial Guinea and snatching a draw against the Indomitable Sierra Leone.

In the meantime, Egypt have been garbage, with El Neny making Fagiot and Arturd look like world class players.

The first big shock of the tournament! Ghana, 4 times champions and 5 times runners up, have been eliminated, finishing bottom of a group containing Morocco, Gabon and Comoros.

Algeria with a huge game tonight against Cote D'Ivoire (Ivory Coast). If Algeria fail to win, they're on that plane back to Algiers.

10 teams have qualified to the RO16 (Burkina Faso, Gabon, Nigeria, Senegal, Cape Verde, Guinea, Cameroon, Egypt, Morocco and Malawi). Six more teams will join them tonight.

Cameroon, Ivory Coast and Nigeria have been the most impressive teams so far. An honorable mention to Sierra Leone and Gabon.

RO16 Matchups:

Burkina Faso VS

Gabon

Nigeria VS

Tunisia

Senegal VS

Cape Verde

Mali VS

Equatorial Guinea

Guinea VS

Gambia

Cameroon VS

Comoros

Ivory Coast VS

Egypt

Morocco VS

Malawi


Nigeria vs Tunisia and Ivory Coast vs Egypt are the standout fixtures. I think Nigeria, Senegal, Cameroon and Ivory Coast make the semis. North African teams have been mediocre, Morocco aside, but watch out for Gabon, Guinea, and Mali.

I’m rooting for Salah therefore Egypt

 

[Bianconero81]

We suck though, so you're going to be disappointed

 

[JuveJay]

So the mighty Comoros have to play against Cameroon with an outfield player in goal as one keeper is injured and two have Covid.

 

[Bianconero81]

Burkina Faso and Tunisia through to the QFs. Tunisia with a shock result against Nigeria.

Gonna watch this from QF on. Hoping for one of them crazy as fuck black as coal jungle lads to win it and not the north african whiny arab wanna be africans.

They should start playing this tournament in Europe, or Qatar/UAE or something. The terrible pitches just ruin the whole spectacle. That and go back to 16 teams FFS

I never lived there in my life haha.

Morocco played some good football against Malawi, especially after falling behind to a scorcher.

Senegal were largely unconvincing, only scoring against the Mighty Cape Verde once they had been reduced to 9 men!

QF Matchups:

Cameroon vs Gambia
Tunisia vs Burkina Faso
Morocco vs Egypt/Ivory Coast
Senegal vs Mali/Equatorial Guinea

[Bianconero81]

Just kidding

 

[lgorTudor]

I was rooting for Ivory Coast

Cameroon vs Gambia
Tunisia vs Burkina Faso
Morocco vs Egypt
Senegal vs Mali/Equatorial Guinea

 

[Bianconero81]

Mali vs Equatorial Guinea involved in a spectacle befitting Serie C - some of the worst football on display.
