AFCON 2025

[dronefromsector7G]

`just watch Cod v Ben. Bloody grim! There's a guy playing for the Congo, hasn't scored since 2019, unmarked in the box and heads in for 2-0. Two mins later VAR chalk it off and we await the reason why. In the interim the guy's got booked!

Sounds a bit fishy.

Generally the level has improved alot in the last 5 or so years.
The pitches are better here than other AFcons, so that is helping.
Final ball and finishing is still weak.

I wonder if City have people there, or is it all stat and Data based.

Unlikely. Pep doesn’t sign African players.

Became a top player for us after a dodgy start…..never seen another player in the Premier League with a better first touch…..sublime

Mahrez again, touch out of his feet and buries it.

Seko Fofana of blessed blue memory playing for Ivory Coast - described as 'the great Seko Fofana' by the commentator! Wiki says On 1 January 2025, Fofana returned to Ligue 1 and joined Rennes on a four-and-a-half years contract. The transfer was completed for a fee of €20 million, establishing him as the most expensive sale in the history of the Saudi Pro League."https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seko_Fofana#cite_note-34">

I watched Cherki in the warm up. He was booting the ball thirty yards in the air then doing a Mahrez as it landed. Who needs bloody Rondas. ;-)

Marmoush starts, Egypt-South Africa on Channel 4 now.

Omar's playing brilliantly, but we all know who'll get the headlines.
