2019 Africa Cup of Nations

[Modo]

Algeria Vs Ivory Coast tonight. Could be a really good game.
Feghouli, Mahrez, Brahimi, Kessie, Haha and Pepe playing.
Oh just realised that we're also playing.

Haha if Senegal make the final they'll be playing on the 19th so with two weeks rest for Mane, he'll be back maybe in mid August. I don't see him paying in the community shield.

He will be playing on the 18th or 19th regardless. There is still the 3rd / 4th placing game so he will last the entire tournament.

The AFCON is a fucking pain in the hole.

At least it's not in Jan/Feb now

It's on the 17th for some reason.

 

[Modo]

Mane will definitely miss the charity shield game. He's gonna need at least two weeks off before training again...it's gonna be too soon for him.

 

[Ukrainian by marriage]

He'll have to fight to get his place back. If Origi and Brewster get a run of games, and keep scoring ...

🙂

 

[Shadey]

Our man Mane is going to be knackered by the time he’s back with us as Senegal are in the final.

 

[Hansern]

Got to be happy for him though. Hope they win it now, that will for some reason make it seem like he’s less knackered I suppose - being on a high from winning it.

But he wont play the first few games, thats for sure.

 

[Modo]

That was one hell of a game.
I'm talking Senegal - Tunisia.
Watch the highlights:

[Modo]

Amazing ending to the other semi final as well.

 

[ibromurph]

Rubbish GKping.

The bane of Nigeria for many a year. He guessed and took half a step behind the wall, and then was unable to get back across to the other side. It wasn't even a great freekick. The ball went into the goal, at goalie-height. Not even top corner.

Disgusted.

The AFCON final

 

[King Binny]

 

[Brizzle]

Ready for Mane to waltz home with this.

 

[Markeh]

Is this on Eurosport?

 

[MomoWASright]

Yes and Algeria went 1 up after 2 minutes

 

[Markeh]

Yea ridiculously lucky

 

[Markeh]

Green laser in the crowd

 

[MomoWASright]

Algeria are being proper cynical. Taking out any Senegalese player on a counter. Had it been a Premier League game they’d have at least 3 booked already.

 

[tombrown]

Poor Sadio [emoji24]

 

[rurikbird]

Absolute cunt of a game. Algeria scored a freak early goal, then held on for 88 minutes with cynical fouls and theatrics and that turned out to be enough. Sorry for Sadio.

 

[MomoWASright]

I gave up at half time.

 

[Modo]

I gave up at half time.

Me too

 

[MaBigTip]

The Sarr dude looked pretty good though

 

[Red Bird]

That was a sh!t final. Mane has been involved in two of those in the last two months, winning one and losing the other.
