3-1 to CIV. A bit hard on Ghana who weren't that far off it. Dodgy keeper and defence though.

CIV resorted to some butchery @ 1 : 0 to intimidate GHA then dey went to work.Nice execution.

"Football was never simply a game in Africa. It arrived in the mid 19th Century across the coast of the continent as a by-product of empire building...."

I was in Angola a couple times last year, and their music (West African music on the whole), is VERY much like ours... a little soca, a little zouk... very nice.

Take nothing away from the strike, but a good, well positioned keeper was saving that.

The thing is, Kicker, the same can be said for many a beautiful free-kick that we've seen scored over the years. The 'keeper was actually well-positioned.......I eh know what else to say 'bout 'im.
