The horror...the horror...
 
Game goes to extra time and it's already 3-1 to Egypt before the first half is over :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
 
Neither side have actually been that good. This ACON seems to be all about who makes the least mistakes and who has the least shittest goalkeeper. Some right clangers.

Yeah comical defending and even worse keeping in this tournament.

Egypt will win the competition 8)

I have not watched one minute's worth of this thing.

Ditto.

Are all the games being played during work hours (UK)?

If they get past Algeria, then yeah.

Got the best defence and a decent attack.

They play a 5-4-1 and protect their goalkeeper from shots at all costs.
 
Africa's 2 biggest rivalries in the semis..

Hatred - Egypt vs Algeria - North.Africa.

Pride - Ghana vs Nigeria - West Africa.

Admittedly this has been an absolute shitehouse of a tournament. The quality of football has been atrocious. Only 2nd to the quality of goalkeeping. However, these 2 games being derbies should provide some entertainment even if it's not with the ball.

When are the games?

I watched some of the Nigeria-Zambia game, really poor. Most of the games I've watched have been poor. Pity, as normally this tournament is fun to watch.

What I've noticed most is that the quality of Africa's 'big boys' (Ivory Coast, Nigeria, Ghana, Cameroon) is really poor. I will be amazed if any African team gets to the WC QF.

Poor the LeTallec

Still, on the plus side, he hasn't mentioned Kuyt yet

Sheesh, you are Mr. Funny.

On the plus side, you have mentioned my religion or country of residence yet. See I do it and I'm not as funny as you. Damn, oh well, maybe you can offer an interent class or something?
 
Is this competition a token prestige project for the African continent or even a money maker for the hosts?

It doesn't appear to rouse much interest worldwide. I'd love to know how it's regarded by those living on the African continent.

There's no shame in being less funny than me.

Or more boring.

It does take quite a lot to be as entertaining as you on the internet. Are you such a blast in real life too?

Apparently I can be "quite hard work" in real life
 
I wasn't asking what Wendy thought of you.

I think you need to start some funny GC threads, and give us one proper 'thread' on Rafa and what you'd do to improve the team (besides sending Lucas to a Division III team in Malawi).
 
I haven't seen a minute of this poxy tournament. Which channel have they been showing the games on? I may give the final a watch
 
British Eurosport have been carrying the games.

The Egypt v Algeria match is going to be, erm, interesting.

Michael Essien has torn a knee ligament and is out of the African Nations and a lot of Chelseas season by the looks of things
[/quote]
More and more are going Arsenals way it seems.

They've coped without Persie so far and will soon get a few more strikers back.

I'd be extremely pleased to see Arsenal win it instead of any of the Chavs or the Mancs. (Now that we are 99% out of it).
[/quote]

Having said that, Arsenal have a habit of capitulating and I'd sooner see Chelsea win it than the Mancs take number 19.
