AFCON 2025/26

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Anyone else watching? Games have been entertaining but not always high quality. Ivory Coast v Cameroon was a cracker the other day.

 

[covcity4life]

Been a good tournament so far. Some games I fast forward to just goals can't lie but the ones I've watched have been fun

I like that there are so many potential winners

Nigeria if I had to pick as such a good squad but Morocco and Algeria look good.

Would like to see Nigeria and ivory coast face off again. One of my favourite ever matches back in 1992

Can tell the transfer windows open. I was wondering what position Cameron Morocco plays in.

Hadji and Chippo, yes, definitely we did.

I think Morocco went out very early; they weren't gone for long.

Here you go; report of the last game they missed confirms it.

Looking at the results, we won one, drew one and lost one without them.

Swedish right back. Changed his name to Corneleus or something like that.

ETA: to Antonelius, apparently. He thought Gustafsson was too common!

Wasn't it his wife's name and she was the last of the family so he changed it for that reason?

 

[King Dougs Quiff]

The South African female presenter knows her stuff. Can tell shes not just put there like Jules Breach

Think Senegal have looked far more likely.

Poor decision making right at the end there.

 

[Shannerz]

Awful shot.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Senegal looked pretty good so far

 

[Shannerz]

It's been enjoyable without catching fire.

Needs a goal.

 

[Shannerz]

This has turned into a complete farce.

We think refereeing is bad in the Championship, it absolutely nothing compared to this.

 

[King Dougs Quiff]

Thats a soft pen.. but you see yhem given, cant have ur hands around shoulder/neck in the box at this point in the game!

More than soft, but the 'goal' should never have been disallowed; the defender instigated the contact.

But fucking hell. This is madness.

Move this to the "ref watch" thread!

 

[Bugsy]

It was soft, but you can't be pulling a man down no matter how much contact there was.
Saying that, is similar to the build up to the goal which got disallowed.
Modern day football is shite.
Embarrassing this is in a final aswell

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

This will finish when?

 

[David O'Day]

Never a pen though. bloke thrpws himself over.

Regardless, you can't do this.

Complain afterwards.

 

[Alkhen]

Mental this!

 

[Shannerz]

They'll get an enormous ban.

 

[Bugsy]

The pen got to be taken either way.
The funny thing is he might save it lol

 

[skybluecam]

Both fouls incredibly soft but once given VAR isn't going to overturn since there is contact with the hands

Absolute farce what's happening now

 

[Johnnythespider]

Have they qualified for the world cup, they could get banned for this
