Would like to see Burkina Faso bring on Dagano...hasn't done much in the relatively limited time he's had this tournament but can definitely get a goal.

Nice save there from "Enyeamagnet"

These friggin' Africans does have some SERIOUS skill boy! Ah does could only laugh when dey ress beat on one another. Burkina Faso seem to have more players with more individual skill, (but how easy is it, really, to assess that?) and Nigeria seem to be more organized as a team......

African teams/players always seem to play purely on instinct.....Can be very entertaining and fruitless at the senior level, results-wise, but it sure as hell does pay orff fuh dem at the youth level. I sure everybody know who I glad for.

I did hear the commentator say he had a couple MOM performances in the tournament. Good for him!

Seen the Ghana game.. huge shocker.

Overall, good quality football. Many Euro based players are participating.

The Senegal keeper was a man I went to school with. I can say that he has always been dedicated to his craft. His hard work has really paid off.

just take een a lil bit of the qualifiers - guineau-bissau vs zambia. I think this is a good competition for us to organize to get into in the future. I think the level would be good for us.

Doh think it works like that. It's unlike the traditional Copa America.

Kounty, how is that possible? I could see us getting an invite to a West Africa FU tournament, but an All African tournament where there is qualifications involved? Even though nothing is impossible, I don't see that happening.

As far as the level of play being at our level. CFU ? Concacaf? That depends. The North Africans, Egypt, Tunisia, Maroc, Algeria and the West Africans, Ghana, Nigeria, CoteDIvoire, Cameroun, Togo, Sierra Leone,Liberia, the Sothern African, Zambia, SA, Angola all play a higher standard of ball than us in CFU. And they can match the best that Concacaf has to offer.

At any one point in time, not all of them playing better than us... eg at this point Ghana up, Nigeria down etc. If we even look at the rankings we all in 20 or so points around each other. I think Jamaica, Haiti and t&T would all be interested as 'special invitees' to a tournament to CAF. Maybe even make it the winner & or runner up of Caribbean Cup. Asylum, I not saying that it the current rules allow for it now, but I think that is the sort of things that presidents and federations does/could work out among each other once there is a will...and I the level of competition is just right for us (will help us to consistently improve)...some sides we could beat, some sides that will beat us and we will have to bring out our A++ game each match.

Good quality on display. Cameroon lead 1-0 off a deviating defensive header on a free kick. Scored at 34'. Clock on 41' now. Traffic in both directions. Lots of individual skill!

Africa has a raw WC qualifying deal as things stand pre-2026.

Algeria v. Tunisia.

Mahrez, Slimani, Bentaleb etc. 0-0 at the half. A lil bit of ignorance on display.

What would football be like if deflections were not considered as valid? Defender looked close to tears.

Algeria 0 Tunisia 1 @ 52'.

asylumseeker · « **Reply #265 on:** January 19, 2017, 11:27:17 AM »

This game has NUFF ignorance. Ghoulam was attempting a header to his keeper ... from about 35 meters with his keeper positioned just off the goal line ... Bad decision. Not even a giraffe would have pulled that off. Attacking player latches on to the failed header and is in the penalty area 1 v 1 with the GK.

Ghoulam makes a desperate challenge. Penalty called. 2-0 Tunisia. Algeria on self-destruction.
