maverick sheep Posted January 19, 2013 Report Posted January 19, 2013 Off to an absolute stormer! South Africa 0-0 Cape Verde Islands Quote
Jute Posted January 19, 2013 Report Posted January 19, 2013 Opening games of tournaments always pish. Hopefully 2nd game better. Quote
Jute Posted January 19, 2013 Report Posted January 19, 2013 Okay I lied. 1st half of Morroco v Angola has been pish. Quote
manc_don Posted January 19, 2013 Report Posted January 19, 2013 I've never really found it an inspiring tournament. That was the euros. Quote
maverick sheep Posted January 19, 2013 Author Report Posted January 19, 2013 I enjoyed the last two because they had some great attack v pish defence. tbf group A is easily the shittest. Ghana and Ivory Coast are usually watchable. Quote
maverick sheep Posted January 20, 2013 Author Report Posted January 20, 2013 it is just. so. shite! Mali 1-0 up late on after the Niger keeper drops it at the feet of Keita. Kind of get the feeling African football had a short spell where they produced some real players, but now they're getting old and the younger lot are utter ding. Quote
tom_widdows Posted January 20, 2013 Report Posted January 20, 2013 Last one I watched was in 2010 and the linesmen didnt know how to do their job. They just stood on the halfway line looking back towards one of the goals. Almost every counter attack i can recall was flagged offside even if the striker had been stood in his own half when the ball was played. Why they insist on having it every 2 years is a mystery to me. Quote

Tyrant Posted January 21, 2013 Report Posted January 21, 2013 Honking stuff so far. Having said that I can't remember the last major international tournament that wasn't shite. Quote

Jute Posted January 21, 2013 Report Posted January 21, 2013 Better game tonight between Nigeria and Burkina Faso. 1-1 but decent football from both sides. Quote
dave_min Posted January 21, 2013 Report Posted January 21, 2013 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zomh6ECiNp0 No worse than 90% of Clangers attempts. Quote
maverick sheep Posted January 25, 2013 Author Report Posted January 25, 2013 ethiopia are mince but burkina faso have scored a couple very good goals. alain traore looks really good. Quote
Jute Posted January 25, 2013 Report Posted January 25, 2013 Decent game although I have no idea what Ethiopian keeper was thinking for the red card. Quote
