Today is def a shocking day. guenia vs morocco ( shock 1) while ghana hardly and unconvincingly beats nambia ( shock 2).
i've watched the morocco game, since the first half u could see how aloudi's abscence is very evident. morocco looked very shaky at theback the complete opposite of there game against nambia but in particular both the left back and right back where completely out played. chamka is a classy player but it was'nt working his way tonight cos after the 68th min when guenia was playing with 1 man down they were defending in numbers and closed every inch for the moroccans tonights. to be fair too i think guenia was under estimated by the morocons after all it was guenia who beat tunisia in 2006 (3-0) and it was the same guenia that almost embarrased ghana on the opening day.
to to be fair the refree had some rubbish mistakes like the 1st goal it should'nt have been a free kick for guenia. the second rubbish decision was guenia's penalty which was not meant to be as the moroccan defender got fouled first.
does'nt look very good for the moroccans after this one, although i think they can pull a shocker against ghana but they need to avoid thiese mistakes specially at the back. they also need to concentrte on the game other than minding other players bec this is just sth in north african teams such as tunisia, egypt, morroco and algeria. the players get sooooooooooo pissed off and u could see the number of fights that broke out tonight its just not needed.
as for shock numbe 2. i personally thought nambia was going to be trashed tonight for several reason apart from them being a weak team.
1- ghana is by far the strongest in every single departement yet tonight they looked an average side.
2- this tournement is being played in ghana, and yes it plays a role in a teams preformance.
this game was sooooooooooooo boring i almost slept during the second half, asmoah is a good player but a terrible finisher the amount of chances they miss tonight is ridiculous.
i also believe ghana is going to explode come next stage cos i dont see them lasting if they played like this.
morocco vs ghana should be the decieve game for guenia and morroco but its def easier for guenia putting in mind they are much stronger than nambia.
guess we will have to wait and see how this unlocks.
