manc_don Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 I've never really found it an inspiring tournament. That was the euros. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maverick sheep Posted January 19, 2013 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maverick sheep Posted January 20, 2013 Author Share 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.

tom_widdows Posted January 20, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
