@mikesiva

I know it's early time and we can't make a judgement yet,but many are starting to put Morocco,Egypt and Algeria to produce the African Champions.I have to admit that i feel it is quite possible,I will not go with that judgement because the strong,physical ,speedy Africans,not Algerians,Moroccons or Egyptians won't cope with them,somewhere along they will be beaten..It has happened before and can happen again.I am sorry to say that the Congo will win this Afro ChampionshipI said sorry because they will beat Jamaica in the playofff.,Sorry Yard I was hoping to see you in WC 26,there's hope don;t give up I could be wrong,.

@granite

Senegal looks very good!

Jackson

Mane

Sarr

Ndiaye

Koulibaly

Mendy in goal


But yes, Congo are playing at a level well above Jamaica now. Wan Bissaka is a top player.

@mikesiva

I am aware of those players you pointed out,it might be scary for us as fans,but i am sticking to my guns,I feel to have a bet,if i can get 5 to 1 i'll have a go on the Congo.😆


 
granite Dec 27, 2025, 8:29:34 AM 

@granite

South Africa a very much improved side from just a few years ago,they had chances to beat Egypt but didn't take them,I would put them high on the list.

I think the decision to not give the penalty was the right one against Egypt.

 
mikesiva Dec 27, 2025, 2:15:44 PM 

@granite

Soft penalty IMHO


Egypt 1-0 South Africa

Morocco 1-1 Mali

Angola 1-1 Zimbabwe

Zambia 0-0 Comoros

 
granite Dec 27, 2025, 4:35:08 PM 

@mikesiva

I wanted to think it was "soft" but players get punished with those types of hands going to face,at the same time,it is described as dangerous play,but still they really should have won,I look forward to seeing them again.

I am sticking with The Republic of Congo for the African Champs.

 
mikesiva Dec 28, 2025, 2:04:43 AM 

@granite

Congo definitely seems to be contenders!


Senegal 1-1 Congo

Nigeria 3-2 Tunisia

granite Dec 28, 2025, 11:54:03 AM 

@mikesiva

Nigeria beat Tunisia I thought that was a draw it;s a great win for the Nigerians,this will be a very tight African championship,Tunisia is always a difficult team so well done NigeriaWho's your money on I'll make my mind up tomorrow whether I have a bet on Th Rep of Congo.

Congo has a great defense, including their CDM. They are a great threat but I think Morocco are still favorites then Senegal.

 
granite Dec 31, 2025, 9:01:25 AM 

@nitro

I am in Congo's corner .and If they win and becomes African Champions,wot ah ting If Jamaica beat them in the playoff,certainly, that will put Caribbean football quite a few steps up the ladder.


 
camos Dec 31, 2025, 1:14:02 PM 

Is this the Congo we have to beat?

 
mikesiva Dec 31, 2025, 4:42:31 PM

@mikesiva

Gabon Minister of sport has sacked Aubyamang and has also put the team out of action.I would like to see Trinidad team get the same treatment they deserve,Everyone involved in our football should be sacked including Yorke,they were rubbish ,terrible and unable to improve their game.Yorke openly picked the wrong people,it was like he don't know the TT players,the fact was ,he really didn't know much about TT players.All ah keep hearing is,"we have some good foreign born,bring dem and gi dem ah trtry" better fack off widdat,we nah got crap in farrin.

SACK YORKE.

mikesiva Jan 10, 2026, 1:03:58 PM 

@velo

Nigeria did it for them.


Nigeria 2-0 Algeria


Total domination! How did Nigeria fail to qualify for the World Cup? They're so much better than some of the teams that did, such as South Africa and Algeria.


Egypt 3-2 Ivory Coast

 
nitro Jan 14, 2026, 6:23:30 AM 

@mikesiva

Nigeria's failure to qualify for yet another world cup is down to the poor management by their federation. Just like the Jamaica Football Federation.


Leadership matters.


Looking forward to what should be some tough semis today. Salah-Mane clash, round 4.

 
JahJah Jan 14, 2026, 9:47:48 AM 

VIX on the way to tell us about the virtues of Algeria.

Congrats to senegal very entertaining second half despite all that foolishness around the penalty.

 
Jumpstart Jan 18, 2026, 5:11:26 PM 

upset Morocco lost but it was a great game and proof that pressure can affect even the best of us. the behavioor ofd the Moroccans in the stadium has been nothing short of impeccable. the total opposite of what we saw when England lost the euro finals just under four years ago. Another excellent edition of a totally underappreciated, underestimated and disrespected tournament. Real fans, not racists and wagonists understand Afcon is a tournament of the highest quality

 
granite Jan 19, 2026, 2:51:03 PM 

Uno figet last night ... Grenada 0 vs Jamaica 1. A goal scored in the 81st min.

Pffft, it's always good when those northerners get the slave jokes and taunts shaved back down their throats.

A glaring reminder that Bajans spend 95% of their sporting viewing time watching cricket.

You clearly have not watched a lot of wc football in the last 20 years even the ivory coast team had problems scoring with drogba in it
