Current favourite for the Golden Boot after 5 goals in Group stage, plays in Spanish 3rd division and mostly played right back in his career including stops at Middlesbrough & Birmingham City !
AFCON 2023 (2024): AFCON 2025 Qualifiers
- Thread starter Rood
- Start date
Not seen enough of Nigeria to be convinced. Don’t think there as good going forward considering the attacking players they have.
Biggest surprise of the tournament is probably how bad Algeria have been.
They werent in the top 5 favourites pretournament based on the odds (Morocco, Senegal, Ivory Coast, Egypt, Nigeria) but were expected to get out of the group
Ivory Coast surely the biggest surprise so far, although they can still qualify

Damn, poor Laurent Blanc will have no idea who to target for transfers now.
From what it is worth (anecdotal), I'm reading secondhand accounts that people in Ivory Coast are ashamed and done with that squad even if they can still qualify.
Good, I wish them 10 tournaments worth of misery

He’s been sacked now? Or after the tournament?
Now. Emerse Fae takes charge as interim.
I know laughing at names is low, but Sithole is just too funny and I would always just add that extra h
Bit of a strange one.

Kind of want them to go on to win the thing somehow now, just for how mental it would be.
Some of these Tunisia tackles are red card worthy. Maybe it’s just RSA bias .
Mali look awful. Cant pass to save their life’s
Bit boring tonight so far, bore draws suit 3 of the 4 teams so understandable
needs Tunisia to score to push the others into action

Both teams are happy with a draw I guess
Namibia shouldn’t be. If Tunisia win they’ll be out.
But they didn't. So Tunisia is out.
Viva le Zambia!
Fun fact: Tanzania, DR Congo and Zambia all touch each other. I mean border wise.
Two goalless draws and Tunisia is out.
Ivory Coast only remaining hope is that either Zambia or DR Congo lose their match. A possibility, but you never know.

Boo to you!I'll be actively rooting for Nigeria's downfall
oh, it seems that even if Ivory Coast advances, it will meet Senegal! That's it for them I guess.

The winner of Group F will play South Africa
The runner-up will play Egypt
And the third, either they or Ivory Coast will play Senegal.

DR Congo playing 3 keepers according to the graphic on Sky Sports
Only Zambia. Congo doesn't matter.
Been no goalless draw all tournament until the last day of the group stages where we have 2 0-0s.
Could well end with 4 too, considering how things are going in these 2 games.
Can anyone shoot in this tournament? Every shot goes miles over the bar.
Do you do anything else than complain?
Looking better for the hosts.
Yes, I watch football… and then complain.
What a fecking borefest today, 4 games and 1 goal between all of them

Is Onana reserve GK now?
Bit of a stretch to claim that with Cape Verde and Mauritania !
Why is it a stretch? I got curious and looked it up. Wikipedia says there is an official maritime frontier between the two countries, and a treaty signed in 2003.
Cape Verde has maritime boundarie/borders to the east with three countries: Senegal, Gambia, and Mauritania. Mauritania has terrestrial borders with Morocco (territory aka Western Sahara) and Algeria to the north, with Senegal to the south, and with Mali to the east and southeast, plus the aforementioned maritime one with Cape Verde
